Hey Elvisio... Addie's gonna bring me out to Orange next weekend if the weather is nice! You gonna come make some jumps with us??

sweet! congrats! you owe beer... but how about posting a picture of the jump instead of a picture of your logbook!

that must be it... we're easy targets for such a lunatic.

i let you win. i felt bad after that skydive.

why does NONE of this surprise me???

oh... you are SO done biotch! i know where you live!!!!!!!!!!

NO SHIT! It's been like 3 months since I've gotten to post to weekend numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0; 3; 1 3 great jumps... Chris Cowden is one of the best flyers I've had the pleasure of jumping with! Kick ass 2 way! Thanks for the jumps and laughs! Heading to Orange next weekend!!! Oh, and beer owed for first jump at XKeys... luckily someone told us right before boarding the plane about the snow covered swoop pond! Now THAT would have sucked to land there!

By some crazy chick in the bouncy boxing room at freezefest! She has photo proof of me cowering in the corner. Thought I'd let the cat out of the bag before the pictures were posted! Thanks XKeys and everyone who put together freezefest. Was a ton of fun. Got some sweet jumps in! Got to meet some really awsome people. Let's see some pictures!

I was at the loading gate, so my view was slightly obstructed for the last 10 feet or so. But shit... when I saw him initiate that turn I knew it was going to be ugly. There was no way in hell he could have recovered from that angle. That was some scary shit. I'm glad he was okay. Can't believe anyone was lucky enough to walk away from something like that. Thank God!

me-ow. rarow! grrr!

Yo, chick... you and marcus going to be there or what???? neeeeeeed the info. i hope so... pm me your info if you are. when are you getting there? where will you stay? all that good shit. we'll be partying tomorrow night at the hotel or some bar i guess. btw... can someone bring there copy of parachutist... mine apparently got mailed to michigan instead of dc. i feel deprived.

true dat. i've been telling the boys all week that i may make one and then huddle by some fire. i got enough of that jumpin in the cold shit the first two seasons up in Michigan. I'm bringin the gear and me new camera regardless... we'll see what happens from there. I suspect just a bunch of drunken party footage.

bwahahahahahahahahaha... tecumseh? last dzo??... bwhahahahahahahahahahahaha (sorry... inside joke ) no, seriously... it's supposed to be like 30 degrees out. maybe this is my excuse not to jump. at least my rig is in date... that's a start.

Well? This pretty much stinks. After moving 1/2 way across the country, starting a new job and working 12 hour days, I have apparently "spaced" my log book and uspa card! The biggest problem is, I'm leaving after work tomorrow to go to Freezefest. I doubt there is anyone around Tecumseh that could access the computer ledgers. What should I do? Bueller? Bueller? Guess I'll be the beer bitch while everyone else is jumpin?

I just searched my home email and got hits... then searched my work and dz.com and got none. that is freakin sketchy. they should change the name to stalkers.com!!!!

I love living down here. I have the coolest job ever and I'm not really minding the 12 hour days I'm putting in at it. I'm learning to speak Arabic! Jason and I will visit Tecumseh as soon as that otter comes home I'm sure. Hope the winter isn't killing yah!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Success!!! Goat Boy... I miss you and Zeek! I don't have time to read all these posts anymore... but my attention was called to this one in particular. I personally take partial credit for the "Chicken Fucker" in Zeek! Sorry, bro! I still love yah!

shiiiiiiiiiiiiit! that is really soon! chris... what's the nearest airport? is it philly international? how long does it take to get there from the dz? what's happening on friday night? do you have your room for friday night?? shit... i should just call you! jason and i are firming up our plans... we may want to room with you afterall!

no worky for me!

Not all of us are going to survive this game. Most of us will. Some of us will not. Those that survive may survive by pure luck - others by skill and risk management. Some accidents that happen will be unpreventable. However, some jumpers that go in will lose their lives in a way that could have been prevented by risk management. It seams that we, as a community, provide many tools to help someone increase his/her chances of survival. I find it funny that some skydivers choose to blatantly ignore this advice. Others embrace the advice, take their time, build their knowledge and skills bank, and still progress competitively at a reasonable rate. We’ve all expressed disgust in the hundred-jump-wonder – flying a 1.8 wing loading, trying to learn head down, or strapping a camera to their heads entirely too early. Many have tried to offer their help in teaching from experience. I’d like to start a library of resources for newer jumpers to learn from – links to top rated educational articles, contact information for those that teach in depth canopy courses, links to incidents that we can all learn from, etc. If anyone has links or information to add, please post it and I will update this list. This list is only the beginning. There are a lot of resources out there. Again, please post any info we can add.

what-evah! wrongway will be snuggling up with me and my cats!
