I went out to inspect this vehicle. I thought for sure it was a fatality. I didn't have a chance to review the file. I of course don't ask the guy because it might be emotional if it was. I knew it wasn't him because it was a female driving. The guy invites me into the house to get some documents. There she is on the couch with 2 busted legs but ok otherwise.

Good idea, but I just wouldn't be able to get myself to say that in a courtroom Melissa How bad do want out of that ticket?

Great pics girl.

Congrats!

Fuck you... Yeppers Ok so no wisdom in those responses but WTF? Lay it on the Hamm like that? BS.

Funny.. I know Brooke and I remember the first time I had any kind of conversation with some substance behind it. He was showing me how to pack my hornet. I was thinking about you the other day Deuce. Jump number 86. Me, you, richard, and Lisa. We did a 4 way and M2 and another really nice gentleman flying camera. I was on my first 4 way with you guys and had no clue what I was doing. I had been Freeflying since I was off student status. I endend up on my back on exit and was so stiff and nervous. The whole thing funneled and I was so pissed at myself. I was ready to hang it up or become a freeflier. Not a bad thing but I really wanted to do RW. I asked you to sign my log book and you read what I wrote and gave me a great pep talk. Lisa (mouth) took me on a great 2-way on jump 90 and brought my confidence up. You guys were terrific. After that I decided to leave San Diego and go where I could find training. For me it was Lake Elsinore and I really began to grow and love the sport. I always wanted to thank you guys for that. I always thought I'd run into you guys sometime and have the opportunity. I'd like to say thanks now and I'll buy the beers when I see you guys next. I always think about you guys when I'm at perris and see shark. I remember that being a turning point for me. Cheers guys, Ed

Crap... I was watching CNN Live.

I had to think about my feelings on this one. When I first heard about the Adria's incident I was honestly like "well that's sad". I only talked to her a few times and it was never more than a "How was your jump?" or "How ya doin'?" I saw her at the DZ all the time. Then I remembered sitting across from her on loads and just cracking a smile. I remembered just that greeting of hi or how was you jump with a smile attached to it. The sadness was a little deeper and there was a greater sense of loss. Myself, I don't know how to handle death well. I'm getting older tho and I've had to deal with it more in the last few years. I always felt like I had to do or say something profound for it to make a difference. Over the years I have found that a simple prayer and a condolence is all that is really needed. Maybe there are those that just don't know what to do when someone dies. Ed

Thanks for keeping everyone updated thru this Curt. My Condolences. Take care Adria. See you next time. Ed

I have actually seen this. Let me tell you it is a disturbing sight.

Camel toe.

Hell yes!

uhhhhh... Dude? That's a pumpkin on your head right?

You were there and part of the dive. Own it! Don't forget to buy beer either!

I guess I better not post this pic of me on the cover then.

You're talented. Just photoshop one.

Dude... I think you only wear the rig to get beers out of students.

I've seen a lot of folks I know in the Parachutist. I finally made it last month. Last words I hear before the exit is "Don't fuck up I'm gonna take a picture" Where's yours? Ed

Ummmm... Now I really can't wait to see this pic.

Anyone have a student that had no problems with doing tandems but was scared of doing AFF?

I moved into a dorm at Texas Wesleyan University at the ripe old age of 26. It's not bad but the called me "The Sage". lol. It'll take a little getting used to but for the most part you'll never be lonely or bored. Cheers Ed

Sweet Aubrey!

Well... He's an Icon I suppose. Simillar to meeting Evel Kenevil but with less injuries.

Gotta agree with you there. I see this kind of stuff and I feel like the luckiest man alive.
