in the interest of wind data, here is an image with the data for the nearest 4 weather stations i could find on the date of the 10th.

Next time he tells that story, ask him if the slider on the reserve was up or down. If he says "down," then ask him why he took a slider down reserve on a terminal jump. If he says "up," ask him how he got a slider up canopy to land him when he deployed it from 170', then copy whatever he says and start making canopies, because you're going to make a fortune. it was packed slider halfway up, dur ;-)

might wanna talk to rich, he "misplaced" his helmet.

you should've seen the contest between him and JJ... (at bridge day) that was amazing.

you are too late mr.halliday! you have released a 17 something year old UK Slovanian non skydiver back to our their country who has a "bullet proof" attitude to BASE... I'm ashamed of you :-( (edit to fix a strike out error)

I'm looking for anyone actively jumping in the state of nebraska... drop me a line sooner then later.

I dunno... it's TJs quote... I just repeated it a bunch because it made me giggle.

obviously not because you cut your hair!!

you know.... I honestly don't remember... The pancakes we just so gosh darned amazing, I can't recall anything else. maybe TJ can remember and chime in here.

*claps*

well... the had crepes at this restaurant... so quit your whining. that's close enough to non-american.

you disapprove of pancakes, mac?

Just shows what an education in Kansas gets you. I know... we actually drive to our pancakes instead of walking! you were obviously kansas bred as well?

OH OH OH!!! another one.... - pancakes at some place in Indianapolis with TJ because EVERYONE else thought sleep was important. I've never walked 1-2 miles for pancakes before.

oh yea! you mean the one where everybody left me on top of the antenna with no gear check... and I was scared shitless. and didn't 50 self gear checks...

of course. *looks at gear* *looks at spectators* *waves to camera man* *looks out for miles during the day light* *checks bridle* "jump bitch" ....continued... *land* *stash* *HIDE BEHIND A ROCK!*

are you implying that i should send one privately.

oh... here's another golden memory: - watching a newer local guy with a broken collar bone base jump!!!!

I just want to meet TomDancs. I think I'll just go sit in the corner and eat worms. and why... are you eatting worms, sir?

I just want to meet TomDancs. I think I'll just go sit in the corner and eat worms. I'd like to meet you too. Bring the worms. Oh, and Andrew, and TJ and ... even MAC! I'd like to meet ether... profile: "[Yes, the picture really is of is me.]" female wanna be base jumpers.... hells yea!

It already is, I'm just proliferating it more ;-) I really wouldn't mind... It doesn't interest me because you didn't give details... come on, embrace the audience. What kinda of jumps did you do. where are they from? what did they show you about canopy? maybe I don't know that either? embrace the audience!!!

OMG!!!! I forgot the best memory of ALL!!!! - getting vaginal spermicidal foam on my canopy! http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2658465 ha ha ha ha ha ha

HELLS YEA!!!

You got me! shucks... I'm trying to show off the fact that I hung out with the coolest freaking people on the planet for two whole months!!! ;-)

It's time for another one of those public thank you letters on dropzone! aren't you all excited... I went to visit the cinci crew for a week of jumping. They took me under their wing, with single digit (base) jump numbers. and taught me a whole bunch. Long story short, my week visit turned into TWO MONTHS. They gave me a place to stay and treated me like family. I had some of my most interesting life experiences with them. - Watching people lose hats in freefall. - Naming towers after lost hats. - my tallest jump to date. - learning to static line. - watching someone freefall the same thing I was about to static line. - staring at a guyed wire under canopy. - learning how cool freestanders are. - 290 foot outside climbs. - waiting for forklift operators to go inside, and having more come out. - tree landing. - jumping a vented canopy and seeing the difference. - five dollar milkshakes at the cathedral. - Jim's driving. - seeing experienced people decide to go handheld from 325 because they were just as tweaked out as me. - finding out that pegs suck; up and down. - ....and so much more. Thanks again cinci crew, I love you guys!!!
