matt1215 0 #1 November 26, 2006 $550:1:1 Bought a new bed this weekend. Nothing fancy, just bigger. At 6'3", my feet have always hung off the end of fulls. 1 jump at DeLand Friday as part of Scott Miller's canopy course. Made a really nasty landing for Scott. Turned my final a bit too low and learned about recovery arc the hard way . Made an ass of myself, but walked away with only bruised knees. My time riding a full Otter down from 11k. Clouds rolled in after takeoff and weather hold ended the day for jumping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #2 November 26, 2006 :2:0 Made two jumps yesterday, a tandem and a 5-way freefly w/ tube. Today's my 5th day off in a row and I'm having mimosa's while everything outside is getting covered with snow. Bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns are just waiting on my motivation, so the right company is the only improvement this morning could possibly stand. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

WatchYourStep 0 #7 November 26, 2006 1:14:A Few 14 great jumps at Skydive Dallas. Several RW loads. Two of those were fun 6 ways that turned 6 points. 4 or 5 wingsuit jumps an excellent stand. Overall great weekend. Completed my first log book Thanks to everyone at Skydive Dallas. I'll be back down in a month or so for some more fun.

happythoughts 0 #11 November 27, 2006 14 jumps. The weather was so perfect. It was like we ordered it. Some wind to make my landings soft. 75 degrees and cloudless with no humidity. It was a little too warm for the bonfire I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdctlc 0 #15 November 27, 2006 -:4:Lots of $ Shockingly I was able to get 4 in in the NW yesterday, 2 Wingsuit Jumps and 2 Tandems. None today as it is snowing which is another shocking thing for the Seattle area. People I am sure are loosing their minds.. Also did some shopping. A few of the more spendy items included a new eliptical trainer, new Ceramic Top oven/range and a new (ground based) family digital camera. I spent more and put a hurt on my bank ccount but those 3 are just were the bigger ticket items.. Buy for Christmas and use it now I say! No reason to wait, Right?????

It was totally spur of the moment, getting on the plane, "wanna jump with me?" sorta thing. We exited with me holding onto his foot for dear life with both hands (when he told me to do this, I was thinking "how is that going to work?"). I did my best to get stable on my belly with my feet as he went head down. Add a barrel roll and a dock, and WOW was it fun. Good times! Thanks again Steve! I also downsized to a Nav 220, which is quite enjoyable compared to the 260. Also tried a Falcon 215 (not quite as zippy as the Nav 220). A bit of tracking work, and a bit of leg turn practice, and voila!, a very enjoyable t-day weekend at the DZ.A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras.
