Evelyn 0 #1 June 7, 2008 Okay, so who else would love to jump this weekend but can't? I just want to know that I'm not alone . I would love to jump this weekend but my team isn't training and due to the cost associated with being on a team (slots, camera guy, coach, packers, possibly tunnel, hotel, etc.) I tend to curtail my jumping to just team training days (unless a boogie or special event). So I'm looking at a perfectly good Cali sky and saying DAMN . So help me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one not jumping on a beautiful day .

Evelyn 0 #3 June 7, 2008 Quote I'm not much of a team player. I say screw the team, go jump. No problem jumping without the team, my team mates are probably jumping today. I just can't afford to!

vskydiver 0 #7 June 7, 2008 It's rainy here in the Great Northwest. Weather probably won't be any better tomorrow either. We were scheduled to get some big way practices in for the record attempt at the Leap for Lupus boogie in August tomorrow but it doesn't look like that will happen now.

JK, I'm catching up on things to do around the house, but I'd really rather be jumping .

Scoop 0 #9 June 7, 2008 Don't worry. I made the big mistake of selling my old rig, now I'm trying to acquire everything I need again. Really sucks. If you are having a break or are struggling DONT SELL YOUR RIG! Just chuck it in a cupboard somewhere as one day you'll wish you never got rid of it.

I love my rig and would never sell it even if I stopped skydiving (it has lots of good memories and probably isn't worth that much anyway - planning to get a new rig soon and keep current one as a back up) .

wildcard451 0 #13 June 7, 2008 <--- on call. Amy Chmelicki (yeah, I know I can't spell it) and some of our home grown tunnel rats are visiting from AZ this weekend for a freefly jam and I'm stuck at work all weekend. Fuck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evelyn 0 #14 June 7, 2008 Quote weathered out today and tomorrow is my son's graduation party - sigh - next week hopefully Yeah!! That's the good thing, there's always next week! Team is training next weekend so I'll get lots of jumps, though hoping we can do extra jumps Sat. so I can do dinner with family for Father's Day. Congratulations on the graduation!

Hey Brandon, Sorry to hear that! Sucks being a doctor, huh? My team went to Eloy a couple weeks ago and did a couple hours training in the tunnel, awesome (Eloy tunnel is bigger than Perris tunnel so we could do all blocks).

Glad to hear things are going well for you. I still have fond memories of being roomates at the Eloy boogie and our awesome horney gorilla (maybe not so awesome to you since I wouldn't let go of your leg). Hope to see you again sometime.

Then you are commited for the season and have to jump regardless of time/money constraints. And it is a lot of fun and you will improve your skills.
