LouDiamond 1 #1 August 17, 2003 Padowon took the leap this past friday and finially got his bird on. Myself and skyone took him on his first flight which he tried to take into down town Raeford before he came to his senses. He had a most memorable landing , but that's for another thread He made several more jumps yesterday and if he learns to look to his right he might even see who he's flying with and get his face on camera. Still pics of the young padowon attached."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

padawonMonkey 0 #7 August 18, 2003 bird man is the heat...but landing with nothing covering your legs can suck. I made a total of 4 bird man jumps this weekend and on the last one I finally got my face on camera; at the cost of a little combat skyflying. The suit is mine but may have a new owner soon and I will get one in my colors. For the record bird man rules and WE ARE NOT SUCKING AT RAEFORD...-------------------------------------------------- "But I'm Just doin what I have to do to survive"-MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pyke 0 #11 August 18, 2003 Cool pics Lou!!! I can see that Padowan has fully recovered from his 4th of July "neck meet risers" incident! I think the fence will have a longer lasting effect on him though!!! Glad to see you're amongst us now, Padowan!! I did only one jump this weekend, but it was a solo flock with a sweet suit I borrowed...and I played around with getting unstable and recovering. Man, is that ever some hairy shite when you're used to having your legs act independently!! 's ALL GOOD!! Might see all you guys in a couple weeks! Looking forward to it!
