your not going to try and qualify erin?

getting closer. looks like the winds are going to be 5 mph out of the east south east all weekend. wich isnt normal for this dz but it is 100 ft lower than most of its souroundings so this shouldnt be a problem. 30% chance of pop up thunderstorms but should be mostly sunny all off fri and sat. maybee a little cloudy on sun, we will see... at least the winds will be consistant wich is a good thing when your qualifying. im ready. i want to leave work now and go practice. but doesnt look like that is going to happen.. see everyone friday.

tammie. bring the 4 wheeler. you got to take me on a drunken ride!

so i take it you were listening!

ya that is a sick blindman. you should come out to the farm on the qualifier weekend. there will be some cool stuff being tried after qualifying

hahahaha.. good stuff.. you could have at least changed the spelling of politics for me also. does anyone know if your supposed to stand the landing up at the qualifier?

hahaha

i know there are peeps coming that dont post on here. there also a few coming but they cant say there coming. i feel sorry for the peeps that got to deal with those polotics.

and it will be a celebration.

loud dan works at the airport and is my roomate and gets off work around then. i will talk to him for you. if he cannot give you a ride i will... im pm'ing you my cell number.

so who's coming. i know of 5-6 already. but im sure there is pleanty more.

i did a ghoastrider in this vid. you will have to look closely to see the arms hangng down. there are alot of swoops in this vid. so you will have to pick it out. http://www.180plus.com/skydiving/video/swoops/

somone want to come out and show me?.. im bringing the pipe.!

well.. the entry gate will be set up over water. so i take it that the course will be with a left hand carve. me and hans are going to set up somthing o practice on this weekend. hole bigger than pole.... got it!

this is awesome. think of all the peeps in freefall tracking with nate at sunset. that boy could track like nobody's business. i can see 5000 or more skydivers at once trying to keep up. nate!: we love you man!.

i will organize this at the farm also

Oh crap. Ear plugs. I gotta find earplugs. need to add that to the survival list.

the weekend of augaust 14th

me too. but you have to understand nate to understand what im saying. stupidity did not kill him. his kindness and careing for other peaple did. i guess you could say that his kindness and careing, led him to do somthing stupid to help somone else.

ya ya ya,... well sweetie there is full page proof in this months parachutist that i have to be somwhere this weekend... but i really wish i could come to this comp. part of the reason im not is because nate gilbert is the one who hired me for this event and i will not let him down. plus me and my roomates are going to try and bring the posative vibe back to asc. but i will see you at the next events.

alot of peaple say jumping out of planes is stupid. yet you still do it. i had a conversation once with nate about catching gear. if you dont think he knew the risk's of doing it your wrong. just like im 100% posative you understand the risk's of jumping out of planes. it all depends on where your opinion of stupid begins. so what you say is an opinion and i will not take offense to it. nate was not stupid. he was a very caring and helpfull person. that is what killed him, not stupidity.

ya thats just a straight line.. you got to do what you got to do. damn tree was planted where i needed to exit

some of us do those turns because that is what we like about the sport. nate would retrive feebags and mains because of the same reason. i wouldnt try it and nate new that because we had a desscussion about it. but he was one to try and help peaple in any wich way he could.. i say,,,, more power to him... more love and respect to him... he died doing what he wanted and loved.

thanks for deleteing my post. i knew it would happen. sorry a little emotional. you could have left it a little longer though!

katie, sweetheart. there are sooo many lessons to be learned in life, nate's soul paid his dues and dies trying to help somone else. he is most defiantly in heaven. take his energy and grow. live and learn. i wish so much sometimes that i was able to be as open and posative as nate. i wish i could go after my dreams like nothing else matters. that is what attracted you to nate. that is what made him so attractive to soo many others. his love for you will always be there. and all your freinds love for you will always be there... this is not the end sweethert. it is just the beginning. i love you. and so do many others. and i can honestly say a piece of nate lives inside of me and all your friends. it is a hard time for you, i know. but you have to be strong katie, conner looks up to you for guidance. katie, just remember i care. and so do many others. i dont know what else to say katie. but this next weekend when im feeling depressed, you have to tell me it will be ok, just like you always do. even without saying it. you make me feel better by just being around. i look up to you in many ways. i look at what you and nate have, and only wish i could find love like that. katie. you have a beautiful thing with nate. i only wish i could be that lucky.
