What a rowdy bunch today. I think everyone just needs to make a jump! Slap, I know more than a few skydivers who don't jump that much. We still luv ya! Fly Your Slot !

Hey, if the regular Skip Out friday crowd get's any bigger, we'll need to fly that second Otter on Fridays! What's up, doesn't anyone in this town work any more? Dont cha love Daylight Savings. Fly Your Slot !

That's too bad. But next time your in town, you've gotta stop by. You can even jump my rig! Can you fit XS & NOS ? I'll be out this weekend. Let's Jump! ...and for next time, White Jumpsuit, Hot Pink Grippers! Fly Your Slot !

Perhaps a certain jumper shall make her first formation load sometime in the future? I mean, what every could a dropzone to do with two Otters anyway ? Yeeeehaaaaaaaaa ! Fly Your Slot !

Like I mentioned, I would want the drag and weight of someone sitting for standing as close to my center of gravity as possible, but the idea of someone hanging off my chest strap has always left me feeling uneasy. Too much drag on my leg straps would seem like it would pull me under, even in a 4 way round with high shoulder grips. Fly Your Slot !

Come on down to the Lone Star State! I could use all the encouragement and coaching I can get. Since Im not jumping my Square as my regular canopy, I need a little notice, but I can be ready. I was thinking about getting a PD Lightning demo to play with, but it wouldn't do me much good to have the only one on the DZ. Looks like it might be a few weeks, but I fully intend on getting out to Waller to get some CRW coaching now that the weather has warmed up. I'll keep you posted, Dave, on when it looks good for me. So how would you build a diamond? Fly Your Slot !

If I would stop reading these threads, I could get my work done and get out to the DZ.
-
No worries, I should have been more prepared. Delgado had emailed me that he would be out. I should have grabbed jeans and tennis shoes. I remembered to grab the Sabre :) Maybe next time I can practice docking on you, instead of letting you guys do all the flying. Gotta try sometime!
-
Ah, I see! So I didn't miss out on anything that would be unusual and difficult or never done before! baahwaaa luv that tequilla Fly Your Slot !
-
I would want the extra tension and weight as close to my center of gravity as possible. Im not picturing a stable freefall with someone vertical on my legstraps. Why don't you ask in the RW forum? What about an extra belly strap to grab onto? Wouldn't be any easier to grab than a chest but seems like it would make a hummin base. Fly Your Slot !

ohh you just wait girl! That downplane is very very next on my list. But....I have my four stack....nah nah Seriously, I feel really humbled, like an SCR recepient. I just lay base and the others did all the real work. I guess the next progession in CRW for me is to "actually be the one who does the docking". The fact that there are not a lot of jumpers on my DZ doing CRW, and a lot of experienced jumpers with smaller canopies, leaves few options for learning quickly. I just want to be safe and have respect for the discipline. Fly Your Slot !

How did I miss out on attacking Dave with the Zip Ties? How did you hold him down all by yourself? He must've been a willing participant! Fly Your Slot !

It's 4:18 and this is your 2 minute call! Are you packed? Fly Your Slot !

Have fun at Water Training. I'll never forget mine. We sat in a hottub taking the instruction. Then put on a harness with a canopy and jumped in a swimming pool, swam out of the harness and untangled, then jumped back in the Hottub and did a Tequila Shot. We did another shot after each jumper finished. We were plastered after Water Training. Hope I really never need to remember that stuff. ...but seriously, go pursue that USPA license requirement. Don't you worry one bit about that SuperOtter! Fly Your Slot !

I feel special!

I was afraid the whole manifest fubar would overshadow the accomplishment. But I appreciate the difficulty of the job and the situation we were in this weekend at the DZ. The tandems needed to get done and the weathered out students needed to stay current more than me. There are plenty of days at the DZ where I can get on a load anytime I want. ONE WEEKEND of backed up DZ business isn't the end of the world. Again, I feel bad that those organizing my load caused Drama in an already stressful day. It's easy for me to be patient because I know the money made is going right back into the DZ. Thanks Spaceland for providing a nice place to jump and constantly improving the facilities for us. Not a DZ.com record, but yes My First 4-Stack. Way Cool! Fly Your Slot !

Looks like Wednesday for me. Hope the weather holds up! Fly Your Slot !

Hey! MY THREAD MY THREAD MY THREAD! I want more hugs for my 4 stack ...and btw, I bought my beer, green bottles, cause I'm a CLASS ACT!

Thanks to Eli, Rich Delgado and James from San Marcos. You guys make it seem sooo easy. It was nice to generate an interest in CRW on the DZ too. People with thousands of jumps were telling me they have never done CRW and it looked fun. Thanks Pippy for working us in on that load. I understand a scene was made and the drama was not necessary. I didn't know any of that until last night after I got home. So, THANK YOU for working it out. The canopy under me didn't have cross connectors on the risers, so as the stack built I started to slide up the lines. By the time the 4th canopy docked, I was riding all the way up by the cascades. My ankles were killing me as the tention on the lines cut through my jumpsuit booties. Tennis shoes and jeans would have been real real nice about then. What fun.....am I ready for my Down Plane now? Fly Your Slot !
