Baksteen 84 #1 September 29, 2008 What? No thread yet? Guess it's up to me then... --- :9:0 I participated in a 4-way skillscamp at Texel, solving some major flaws in my basic body position, getting some tasks for the coveted B-licence signed off and having a great time allround. Jasper, Paull and Gary as well as all the staff at PCT, thanks (yet) again!

poe62 0 #9 September 29, 2008 When we loaded the plane there wasn't much wind, so we all decided to land in one direction. The wind picked up a bit on final, so I followed everyone else like we had planned in the agreed direction. I just wish I had video of this landing. I bet it was freaking hilarious to watch. I can walk today, so I didn't do much damage to myself. ~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #11 September 29, 2008 :11:0 :Still married to Vskydiver11: 3 AFF and 7 tandems, time left for a fun 2 way with a fresh AFF graduate. She did 3 docks. No beer for me, but maybe for her.Hey Poe, try sliding out those downwinders if terrain and conditions permit. Does your DZ have an "out" area where you can land any direction you want? That's where I head when I want to land "the wrong way." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireballgrl 0 #12 September 29, 2008 :4:0 On friday night I did my 100th jump in traditional fashion Didn't even get arrested or thrown off the airport I guess I should have owed beer for that one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airathanas 0 #13 September 29, 2008 not telling: 1: Jumped a spring loaded pilot chute, rip cord rig out of a Cessna in Illinois. That's for me. Hadn't done that before. So much fun though! http://3ringnecklace.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poe62 0 #14 September 29, 2008 They sure do. It was my fault for not setting up for the other landing area. I honestly thought I could run it out though. Next time, I'll remember my legs don't go that fast. haha ~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baksteen 84 #15 September 29, 2008 Actually you should have been thrown off the airport for not buying beer "That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 15 #18 September 29, 2008 1 day of sleeping in and doing nothing:5:~1 Worked 27 hours out of a 30 hour block Thursday/Friday so I slept a lot on Saturday to make up for it. The weather was crap so we got to the DZ on Sunday and did 5 jumps. 4 freefly and my beer video for an AFF Eval course. HOLY CRAP shit goes wrong fast on the bottom end of those if the course instructor is pushing the students! It was fun to watch but it was more excitement then I like in the last 10 seconds of my skydives.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buff 0 #23 September 29, 2008 Well 6 if I get to count Wed night. Jumped a no moon night 3-way and turned 5 points. Landing was like sinking into a vat of india ink but pulled out the mad PLF skills and arose from the darkness just fine. Thanks out to Kelly (300) and Dan (500) for inviting me on the milestone jump. We each picked a random and made it work. 2 team jumps trying to figure out the Meeker exit off the 182. Packed alot over the weekend and came out ahead on the books $16 so I'm happy. ---- Jenny in KC, congrats and thanks for the "evidence". You are welcome at our DZ in Kansas anytime you feel the need to just get nekkid & yell door!It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.
