kelel01 1 #2 August 28, 2005 0:0:0 But I did a lot of online job hunting and bought a cute suit in "my" color scheme - black and fuschia (which made my day). Also got a lead on working in my ultimate passion, but we'll have to see if the hours work out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frenchy68 0 #9 August 28, 2005 OK, people. New rule! Posting the freaking minky ass gay "Weekend numbers" thread is pointless. Why? Because people who jump on weekends are usually [B]NOT DONE JUMPING ON SATURDAY AT NOON!!! Give them a chance. They're people, after all. They have feelings too.

op5e 0 #11 August 28, 2005 :8:0 Did a 4-way weekend where I did 8 Jumps. 2 were 3 ways because I either scared some people away or broke them. Well they broke themselves. Had a ball and can't wait to do more 4-way jumps. - 2 Jumps landing away from the pits due to a long spot. - My alti got stuck on 1000feet when under canopy. Serves me right for buying a second hand alti. - Learnt a bucket load from having my jumps video'd and jumping with good instructors. - Attended a canopy talk which was started the cogs turning.

NWFlyer 2 #15 August 28, 2005 :6:0 Including Wednesday's jumps... three great freefly coach jumps with karenmeal on Wednesday. A solo sit, a two-way with a newly-minted A jumper, and a two-way with SeaKev yesterday.

shall555 0 #16 August 29, 2005 retired(apparently):3:0 Coupla low altitude jumps, then a 2 way with Dave H. with DZ pal Amanda shooting video. How fun! 3 points ( which is not bad considering I wasn't much good at RW *25 years ago* either ). Nice to do RW again after all this time.... shall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

windcatcher 0 #19 August 29, 2005 4:6:3 4 soft, standup landings in a row this weekend!!! This weekend I did: 1 practice track after docking 1 high altitude hopnpop from 9500---amazing sky, awesome clouds!!! I was close to God on that jump. 1 sit fly where I couldn't find Chad, so I just instinctively turned towards him, though I had no idea how to turn and didn't think but just did it 1 horney gorilla that went to crap 1 "catepillar" type jump, holding someone's leg straps behind them, someone holding mine,etc 1 4-way trying to make it into a donut; oops, after reaching and grabbing someone's leg, I couldn't get back down to the formation because I looked up when I arched...ooops!!! Beer owed for first 4-way girl load and jump, first catepillar, first high alt. hop n pop what an awesome weekend!! I had such awesome landings, thanks to my canopy coach who taught me a month ago; Jimmy T oh and I knocked someone's shoe off in freefall, but it stayed on for awhile and though it fell, they were able to find it Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...
