Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites slotperfect 7 #5 December 10, 2006 A couple of years ago, Greg Windmiller and I took Bill Jolly, D-26, up on his first skydive in over 30 years. He had over 4000 jumps when he quit, and came back to the sport briefly at 86 years old to go through the first jump course with his grandson, a Marine. Bill told us about his first skydive. He bought a military surplus ("cheapo") main and harness/container, borrowed a chest mounted reserve from some Navy Rigger friends, and went looking for someone to take him up for a jump. He found a biplane cropduster pilot willing to let him perch on his wing for a ride to 3000 feet in exchange for $3.00.

When he went up to do his first clear and pull from 3,000' , he smiled at the instructor, stepped off...perfectly stable...did a backloop, waved at the instructor and pulled. The instructor was pretty stunned by what he had just seen. It turned out that this guy had bought himself a set of gear while still a student and taught himself to pack it from the manual. His family owned a farm and an aircraft and his brother would take him up for jumps. He had over 100 jumps like this before he came back to the dz.

He made an IAD or two...whatever we felt was required before starting him back on a freefall progression. When he went up to do his first clear and pull from 3,000' , he smiled at the instructor, stepped off...perfectly stable...did a backloop, waved at the instructor and pulled. The instructor was pretty stunned by what he had just seen. It turned out that this guy had bought himself a set of gear while still a student and taught himself to pack it from the manual. His family owned a farm and an aircraft and his brother would take him up for jumps. He had over 100 jumps like this before he came back to the dz. He never came back to jump with us again after that day.....maybe he's still jumping over his farm-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.

wildcard451 0 #21 December 10, 2006 QuoteSo, has anyone been taught to jump from a 'mentor'? or something like just being thrown out of an airplane? so, as in, a very un-organised way, or an organised way, just never done before? NOT-Static line, AFF, freefall progression, military stuff, etc. Hey man, fuck all the haters. Let's grab your casted leg, I'll tie my pull arm behind my back, and let's go make a 3 way with a supermodel that has no clue what she is getting themselves into. We'll have the time of our fucking lives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will be saying, "Dude-arhma, I was only keeding." You will not get a Bishop slot with this attitude. I think it will be called Calvinism. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
