Yeah..I haven't always been the best with my canopy..I'm coming along though..I'm even getting canopy training from the boys now! Nope...Lea came up to me...Will chimed in after that.

YUP!!! Wanna jump it with me!??!

The Southern Cross (DC-3) was added to the flight line for SKYFEST!!!!!!! W00T W00T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup....that was a mistake I made..but yet I learned from it. You never stop learning in this sport, and that's one thing I really love about it.

Just on another note...everyone makes mistakes...no one is perfect. I did something stupid this past weekend, and didn't even think twice about it until I was approached by another jumper with more experience. (I was pushing it back from a long spot...over a swamp and the woods with open fields behind it I could have chosen instead)...BUT What she did was put into consideration if wind conditions had changed, etc..I had left myself no out at all. I didn't even think about that..all I knew was that I was making it back to the DZ...never crossed my mind that if I hit a gust or stronger level of winds..I wouldn't get as much drive...and put me in a very serious situation that could have turned sour... I took her advice and thanked her for bringing that into consideration..A packer was sitting right there and said "well think about this too.." and went on with something else that even she had not thought of in case put in that situation. We both thanked him, for we had both gained more knowledge. When you do make a mistake....own up and most importantly learn from it. Think twice about selling all of your gear... best of luck.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'll add a little more as well if I may.. Rules I was taught in Skydive: 1 - Don't die 2 - No matter how hard you try, you cannot fit the planet up your ass. Now, with the basics laid out on the line...remember this In skydiving, you learn from your mistakes. You just hope those mistakes don't kill ya. Good luck with however you decide to deal with this. Agreed..that is another rule to skydiving I was taught: Flaring is not optional. Just so you know....like someone previously stated..It is not up to ANYONE but yourself to get the proper training. ASK questions, trust me..i drive people nuts because I continuously ask questions. I might get a stupid answer sometimes..but then I go on to the next..and draw my own conclusion at times. *Note...one thing that REALLY shows a lot about ya is that you took the answer page because you had taken "open book" tests before or whatever..girl..logic would tell you that you are jumping out of a plane and that you really need to KNOW what you are learning...not copy it....blame yourself for that one..no one else. Will someone please pass me the bucket..I'm not feeling so well anymore..

You want some cheese with that whine? (JOKING!!) Chin up, Clay!! Hope things get better for ya sweetie!

That just made me laugh really hard...no clue why but that is funny shiot...dont care who ya are!

So is the place clean and dinner ready yet? BWAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

LMFAO...I just talked to her..it's a new lady and she didn't see the note left. She is aware of it and said "I put down 'skydiver' on the guy who just called, so he'll be taken care of as well". So there ya go, sweetie!!!!

Yeah...Like I said after watching that video you guys had out there "damn, Daniel...looks like you do that a lot" BWAHHHAAAA I am seriously thinking that boy is seriously accident prone!!! Can I come laugh tooooooooo!?!?!?
