DSE 3 #28 October 24, 2009 Quote So, will you be in Elsinore for the WS event? Yes. I'm already here. I don't know that I'll be ready for the formation by then, but there is a glimmering hope. It would be an honor to meet you and share a beer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 3 #31 October 25, 2009 More than once.... Lotsa people saying "be careful." And being as careful as I can be, given that it's skydiving. Felt good to pop four today. Not sure I can manage more than that for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #37 October 27, 2009 Quote No pix. Wasn't supposed to be really very public, because I don't consider myself back til I put on the nylon....and I screwed up a little today anyway... Krip, our buddy Jay was there...and I'm grateful to him for catching that I'd missed my seatbelt. Was just a hop n' pop. Wanna gradually take it lower to be sure my back can manage terminal deployment. FWIW, progression has been 30 mins of tunnel time, running, squats, PLF practice, and upsizing to a wingload of .9:1 for a while. Now H n' P's for a while. http://skyvideo.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/anticipation-spoiled-the-rush/ if you wanna know more. It wasn't a spectacular jump, but I spiked it, which is better than a bounce... OK well you're definitely a smart mother fucker but I gotta tell you the same shit I tell everyone that I know that was injured. So deal with this, okay.MAKE SURE that you are fully helaed before you try to get in the air. IF you reinjure yourself you will just postpone the jumping longer than necessary. OKay I'm done. Im sure you know what youre doing so congrats on your return.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
