I don't know what kind of freefly stuff will be going on, but I will be out for 8-way and 16-way on Fri/Sat. It'll be a zoo! Turkey boogie is always a great time.
-
What the heck is that?

My company is strange: http://www.letsfly.com Bored at work? Fly the guy around for an hour or so. I like the boxing kangaroo!
-
Not bad at all! I'm such a cheap date. Thanks for the yummy curry and pasta!

1:1:0 1 road trip to Ft. Lauderdale 1 jump at Clewiston And a whuffo day yesterday since the winds were hauling ass. We didn't get to jump at Labelle since they were done jumping at 4 o'clock on Sat. WTF?!

15-year old girl smoking...busted! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6470259/ I hope her parents care.

a few:7:0 A few drinks on Saturday night with the aforementioned gang. 7 jumps - a few 4-ways, a 20-way and some random stuff. 0 beer owed. Come back to Z-hills soon, Kris!

Intermediate....similar to a Sabre2. I absolutely love my Pilot 132. I've put about 100 jumps on it and I don't have a single complaint.
-
OK, I'll start the thread since I'm just hanging out and waiting for trick-or-treaters. 1:10:0 1 costume that Mike Wolfe should never ever wear again. (I wonder if it was a rental...ewww) 10 jumps (eight 4-ways, 2 others) 0 beer Some great 4-ways & a fun party....a nice weekend, even with the humidity!
-
Yeah! You really don't want to freefly with me and Stacy. We'd clobber you! We'll take ya on a good ol' fashioned 4-way though.
-
Agreed, good point! I remember when I first started, I sometimes felt like I'd be "bothering" someone if I asked for a pin check. This past weekend there was a guy right behind me in the otter who was just off student status and doing a high solo. I waited a bit after we all stood up to see if he was going to ask someone for a pin check. He didn't. So, I asked him if he wanted one and he smiled and said yes. I checked both his pins, his 3-rings, his handles, and his chest strap. We need to watch out for our newer jumpers and help them feel comfortable and welcomed.
-
This could probably be moved to safety and training... 9 out of 10 times I'll get a pin check, from a friend I trust. I check my own three rings, my handles, my chest strap, etc...but I like to have someone check my main pin, JUST IN CASE. (the hypothetical 10th time being if I don't know anyone on the load) The whole load could be in danger if I have a premature in the door, so I consider it a small thing to make sure my pin is where it should be. I will happily check another person's pin if they ask for it. I also visually check the chest straps and handles of those around me.

Glad you got to jump, Cora!

I'll start working on my arch now.

I'd be hardpressed to figure out exactly how much tunnel time I have. I never thought to keep track of it. I don't know if that's the norm though! If someone really wants to list their minutes/hours of tunnel time, they could list it under "Interests." Maybe?

Whoohooo!

11/1:6:0 11 co-workers went for tandems on Sat! 1 close call on final for me 6 fun jumps with the gang on Sat and a whuffo day yesterday 0 beer owed (but I did have one; I needed it after that close call!)
-
Good call, Perris. Personally, I think if you have two Cypres fires due to loss of altitude awareness, your USPA license (or other national license) should be revoked. Zooming through a grand without a fucking clue should not be brushed off as a simple mistake.

Other side of the coin, written by a lawyer of course. http://www.tampatrib.com/News/MGBFHUS630E.html

Ditto here! Rough week. Sorry work is pissing you off, Cora. *hugs* (Don't piss off redheaded skydivers. We bite!)
-
Do you feel the same way about alcohol? That people who get drunk are just trying to fill a void? Just wondering.
-
Can we talk about "decent" and "descent" too?
-
I can stand up in the otter......I love it!

You're probably thinking of this incident. She had jumped at Z-hills before. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=508246;search_string=Fatality%20in%20Finland;#508246
