Weekend Numbers July 4-6

Recommended Posts

2; 6; 2; 5; 8

Went to the unConventional Boogie in Perris and had a revisitation of why I love this sport! Started on Wednesday when I had to do a recurrency jump. One solo to fly my canopy that only had 3 jumps on it before I stopped jumping. The rest of the week I was able to get back in the saddle with formation jumps.

I did have 2 1sts: 1st Balloon jump and 1st Porter Jump (DAMN tight ass plane!)

Also got to be a part of someone's 500th jump; that was sweet! All in all, a fantastic week(end) of getting my wings back. Met some really cool people and had a blast!

8 WS jumps between 3 DZs, Davis, Lodi and Byron. Brought a new bird into the flock.
1 H&P :D jump on my new to me Sabre 150. She is 15 years old with less then 200 jumps. Still nice and crispy. I wish I got a photo because I am easily seen from the air. It is all neon in pink, lemon and lime. And she opens nice & soft. Me likey.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

5 4ways, including some 4 way scramble with some 5000+ jumpers, and 1 jump with a new A licensed jumper. The only bad thing was seeing LadyDivers frustration at being sidelined.

Sorry we missed out on the pieing but I was done - after being given shit a couple of times I was done and finally told this one particular person to take a flying leap....without his parachute:D:D:D I know it goes with the territory - :S:S

Actually, you did earn the pie. I'd told you that I would prefer a nice bottle of wine to a pieing and you opted to pie me anyhow. I just happened to have a contingency plan in place with your co-conspirators. :ph34r::D

Yeah, I saw the forecast and seriously considered coming out your way but decided to do the fiscally responsible thing and stay in town... been spending way too much money I don't really have traveling and skydiving lately. (And fortunately, Ms. Peace Officer did not slap me with multiple tickets for my trouble).

Yes, apparently the Fun Police should have issued a citation. :P

Ummm...

3 3 or 4 ways from the 182 at 5K
2 Hop-n pops from the 182
4 coaching jumps from the Caravan
1 insanely fun 12 way speedstar
1 insanely bad / fun 5 way funnel to pull altitude
1 4 way attempt that proves dirt diving on jumprun is not always a great idea

And 1 very, very special 7 way round with a tandem.

It was an awesome weekend

Beer-able events 200th Jump, 1st High Pull

My 200th was a great jump!! We built a 12 way Texas Star. 11 of us made it in. I was the last out and that in and of itself was fun watching it build. The jump was organized by Kirk V. from Airspeed who was organizing that day. Im still on a high about it. Thanks everyone that was on it. A nice range of different skill levels.

Also had a great 1st High Pull....


Thanks Kirk....

Had bad weather for most of the weekend. Those six jumps, all 8-way FS and all from fifteen grand, were squeezed in after lunch on Saturday. Add in the packing and the dirt diving, and next day I felt like I'd had a pretty good workout.
