don't tempt him. don't fucking tempt him. that sick mother fucker (yeah, you know who you are, you weirdo!) saved those pics on his camera and showed them to me at Skydive Spaceland this weekend. Someone there came up to him and said, "Walt, you are one sick Mother Fucker!" That made him so proud. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

yep, bill is definitely a cool dude! he's got great stories about his time in saudi and working for NASA and is a WONDERFUL rigger! it's really something when a guy will drop what he's doing on a Sunday to help repair a guys gear who is from out of town. and i'll be down that way again for sure. we'll get a jump or two in, but DEFINITELY no CRW!!!

Hypothetically, of course. oh yes, that goes w/o saying... that's not funny... oh hell yes it is/was!!! me thinks that a certain post responder is a certifiable SAINT!!!! That it is not complete common knowledge at thios point in time is a miricle - so yes - sainthood is pending. oh, a miracle happened that night, my friend, believe me. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

That it is not complete common knowledge at thios point in time is a miricle - so yes - sainthood is pending. It's more common than you think...a reputation is at stake. Is it now? Do tell. well, ask NWFlyer... she is the keeper of the story. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I love my wife's nipples, but after she's nursed our four kids over the years, she says that playing w/ them just doesn't do much for her anymore. That's ok, playing w/ them does plenty for me

here's the one for you... when you get drunk from drinking too much psycho-punch, a kind southern gentleman will be your wife and clean it all up and not utter a word of complaint... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

what a great shot! and the post about the mad looking dad looks right too. pitchers son and all of that. too funny! but that proud batter! oh man! i hope you are able to give him/his parents a copy of that shot! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

prayers for sure. every night until you tell us to stop. be at peace. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

IS THAT ALL????? Just kidding! 97th % KICKS ASS!!! COngrats!!!! Lots of doors will open for you, for sure! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

alright, having slept on this and come back, a couple things are clear to me. the first is that here on this forum, no one knows the whole story since no one was there but us. you get what we tell you and draw your conclusions. our fault. while crw does frightening me a little, walt is correct, we were playing up high and the "wrap" was NOT a horrific entanglement and did not involve a reserve ride. it cleared right away. we were being really conservative and not doing crazy shit other than just trying to dock once. not too ambitious, IMO. second, Mike, jump numbers in and of themselves can only tell you so much about someone's knowledge base and skill. for all you know I have better canopy flying and freefall skills than people w/ hundreds of jumps. scoff if you'd like, but that's the feedback I received from AFF instructors at The Farm when I returned to the sport earlier this year. (I certainly have better skills than your dog ). Your first two posts had nothing constructive to say and came across to me as so many other experience nazi's on here. having read your other posts, i can honestly say that i appreciate your concern. m I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Don't have too, you already did well enough. Stay safe, Mike hey, thx for the drive by sniping... why dontcha mind your business next time. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

We do things bigger here in Texas. Walt if that were REALLY true, you woulda ripped my main from stem to stern. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

yeah, just think of the fun you missed ... wraps, canopy tears, trips to the rigger, no really, it was a GREAT day, even w/ only one jump. get better, fool! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

why did you restart? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

careful walt-o-meal, the experience-nazi's are afoot... see the weekend numbers thread. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

oh do forgive! I was not aware that there was a minimum number of jumps required for basic CRW (bi-plane), even after receiving coaching from experienced people. do enlighten. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

after spending too much time w/ skinnyshrek, I just can't stop using the "C" word in common conversation, complete w/ fake british accent. That and "fucking-hell!" I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

good lord jesus woman, you crack me up! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

yeah... but a little clarification... the wrap didn't cause a cutaway... i came to dock on walt and came on him to high and I wrapped him... my main folded him up, then dropped me down as it folded into a wad and spun up. he got out ok and after falling a little while, mine opened back up. freak me out and I screamed like a little girl. well, that's what walt said anyway, but I don't believe him. the tear in the main came on our next dock attempt, i came in too low underneath, went to rears, floated up but not enough and he snagged my center cell w/ his foot instead of my lines. hence, a nice tear in my fusion. I didn't even notice until i was packing it up after landing. it didn't affect the flying of it at all. we did finally dock, he was able to get down to the lines and then i really did scream like a little girl, i was so excited. but the cool thing was that we went a super rigger's house, Bill Lee, and he fixed me right up, on a sunday, right then and there! AWESOME!! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

0:1:a lot First jump w/ Walt Appel First jump at Spaceland First jump from a Twin Otter First CRW jump - with a successful dock AND first canopy wrap First hole in canopy put there by Walt's big foot. First reserve repack on new gear just getting a little carried away... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

And I made you spit out half of it. yeah, you bastard! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

big fat healing vibes! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...
