NWFlyer 2 #8 April 19, 2010 4:0Four hours in the Paraclete XP wind tunnel in Raeford. owed for my first time in that tunnel. Also visited the DZ but since I didn't jump there, I don't owe beer yet (though I did enjoy quite a bit of SkymonkeyONE's beer... thanks, Chuckie, and thanks for welcoming me into Team Teamroom!). Finally got to meet slotperfect in person - yet more data to prove out my theory that the greenies aren't actually bots created in Sangiro's lab, but might be real people after all.

skybytch 259 #9 April 19, 2010 1 hour:1:0 Spent an hour last night playing rhythm on the guitar while friends jammed over me on mandolin and flute. Good fun! One jump - a two way with my favorite skydiver. Peeled a two way off the door, geeked the camera guy in the door hard enough that I forgot all about presenting to the relative wind, did some tracking and back tracking, got fruitlooped, fruitlooped him, sweet opening, kicked my legs at him as he flew by under canopy, and I didn't screw up my landing. Yay for 70 degrees on the ground! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buff 0 #10 April 19, 2010 :11:0 Saturday got in one FF and then sucked into doing a coach jump. The kid then did 3 more with me. Between the packing, dive flows, jump, video debreif, I spent almost my whole day on MY BELLY!wtf!! Today the weather was shit with low clouds, sputtering rain, some sleet up high, and only 4 of us at the DZ so............... We set up a swoop lane of cones and did 4K hop n pops until we were tired. 6 of them for me.It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

wolfriverjoe 1,481 #11 April 19, 2010 0,2,1 Woo Hoo!!! Finally got my ass in the sky this year! Got on the first load of the season too. One high H&P to remember how the canopy handles. One 3way that didn't go quite as planned. But I was able to get down to another guy who sank out better than I usually do "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

kmills0705 0 #13 April 19, 2010 :5:0 Great weekend. Made four fun jumps (put out some students on the way up) and then put out a student on a Cat D that was just phenomenal. I still can't believe they pay me to have this much fun! Went on a tracking jump for one of our jumpers 100th jump and had a great time.

The weak-minded have ever been ready to obey one who wields great power. Those who learned the powers of the dark side were quick to exploit this weakness—to make war. Again and again the dark side has surged forth, like a storm…devouring whole worlds and entire star systems. Those who mastered dark power became dark power.
