jmpnkramer 0 #1 May 5, 2003 Well Last week I posted that this past weekend was my 10YR Anniversary in the Sport. Sorry to say I only made two jumps because of some circumstances beyond my control. I made One Jump at Sebastian and One at Skydive Palm Beach. I was testing a new canopy. A Samurai 95. The Jump at Sebastian was O.K. It would have been nice if the manifest would have held sunset for me but Oh well therefore only one jump. A friend and I tried to do a Hybrid. Yesterday at Skydive Palm Beach we did the same dive. The dive went much better. I deployed and there were a few line twists. Needless to say the Samurai Took a hard dive to the left. I got the line twists out but the canopy would not stop diving. I played with it for a few more seconds then said " The Hell With This!!!" Chopped and had a full reserve by 2,200'. Yes I was pulling high to play with the canopy a little. It was fun but stopped me from being able to make more jumps. I followed my Free-Bag. I even had an opportunity to catch it but let it go. It landed in a NASTY Ditch filled with ALGAE. I was able to get it easily though. The Main landed on the Taxi-Way. What luck. All is good. I Should be at the Hill again this weekend sometime. Not sure though because I might have to do some NSA (Non-Skydiving Activities). Alrighty enough blab. Ya'll take it easy. Laters!!! KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

towerrat 0 #6 May 5, 2003 By the way, we are all ordering matching Woomera's. That way we can look a little more, you know,professional.The only trouble is that they all come embroidered with the FSU logo on the pop top.We can get them dirt cheap though, I thought you might be interested!Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
