Icon134 0 #1 July 16, 2007 Figured I'd start... format is Humps:Jumps:Beerable offenses "My Girl is in California right now":7 or 8 I'm not sure and I lost count...:1 some RW (4-way), some RW video (practicing for tandems some more... trying to figure out the body position I need to be in), one tandem video practice jump... and a free helicopter jump... the Beerable offense was the helicopter jump... basically a Helicopter instructor just moved to the local airport (we ran into them at Buffalo Wild Wings last night) and is intrigued with the idea of carrying jumpers... he wants to figure out how much it is going to cost him to carry jumpers to 4000-5000 ft... and needed a gunny pig... of course I was happy to volunteer... and I hadn't jumped from this particular kind of Helicopter before...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

Ironmanjay 0 #14 July 16, 2007 :5:1 You ever have one of those days where the air just doesnt feel right flowing over your body. Every single jump I did just felt a little off I just called it quits after 5 jumps on saturday. I did do a first, exited from the plane with jason a hold of my chest strap, went straight into a hybrid and then went into a sit while he still held on.... that was kool !!!!!
