jose 0 #1 April 26, 2004 Ever have one of those days where shit just clicks? Ya know the one, you go out, expecting nothing, trying for nothing. Just going to do a some jumps with a couple guys and it happens when you least expect it. So, I decide to go to a different DZ for a change. I pop in down at Snohomish at around 11am. Only Cessnas today going to 10. Bummer, but oh well. I'm jumping, right? There are 3-4 freefliers there and are really welcoming. I hook up with a guy for a 2 way. Good flower exit, totally stable HD when grips break and just hang out for about 10 sec. Then like nothing I stick my hand out and we take grips. No change, no bobble, no nothing. I was floored! Break grips, and gather myself. He goes to a sit, I come in and have my hand 3 inches from a spock when the ditter goes off. SHIT! I almost had it. But I have never even gotten close to doing that before. All 3 other jumps with up to 4 flyers were like that first one. It was a cool way to break 300. I couldn't believe my instant progression in HD. I really hadn't jumped in over a month and the last time I really jumped, it was shitloads of HD coach jumps with no technical skill training, just flying the pipe and simon says stuff. This is the second time that after some coaching and a break, I have advanced exponentially. Firm believer here on the coaching thing, and just maybe the break to relax your senses and ego is the trick. Possibly flying with new people is a piece of the puzzle. There are no expectations or pre-determined outcomes with people that you dont regularly jump with. I has got me so jazzed that I'm not sure I am going to be visiting my home DZ that much. Anyways, rambling here. Just a thanks to Kelly, Scott and Jim down at Sno. And a cheers to Amazon for not kickin my ass..... Edit: Oh yeah, it was my first time trying to swoop gates as well. Slow 270 and right thru the gates a foot off the ground the first try. Sweetness.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
