Several 2/3 ways all but one were sit fly practice.


Were the 2/3 ways and sit for the "humps" column or the "jumps" column?:|

6 for the NorCal Canopy Piloting Circuit competition in Byron



How did that go? How many competitors did you guys have? Ours was this weekend as well and I had tons of fun competing in it.



It went pretty well.. I got a pretty good feeling out of it. Had a vertical on 2 jumps (one on the first speed, and one on the 2nd zone accuracy jump) and scored pretty well on the other jumps for jumping a Sabre2.
All the other competitors were flying VXs or Velocities, and I managed to whoop someone's ass on one of the speed rounds (had a 4.5 sec. speed round)

There were 9 competitors in this competition.. and I finished last because of my verticals :( But.. I'm really happy with the end results though..

Got three jumps in on Sat then the weather turned too freaky for me to jump in. Had a blast though. One of the jumps was a 7 way, several of the jumpers on that one where jumping before I was born. One started jumping in 1946 when my mom a was a year old. In my very short history in this sport that jump is the most memorable. It's monday and I'm still stoked about it.

Apparently I have not been paying attention to these weekend numbers threads... so can anyone explain to me what the three numbers refer to?

Thanks! Then in my case - :)
8 jumps. Geeked a tandem and videographer while wearing jeans and sweatshirt. Was doing circles around them in very tight proximity... loads of fun!

Mostly did CRW. Sunday was very windy. Try 80-85 mph winds at 13,000 feet! :o We were getting out about 5 miles upwind doing 4 stack rotations into the wind and getting pushed back towards the DZ. 5 jumps of that and we never landed off. B| Also, fellow deaf skydiver Mike Sweet made a 4 stack rotation jump for the first time! :)

I forgot to say, I taught namdrib (Steve) to sign "shut the fuck up". So when he signs that to me, I sign to him "go fuck yourself!" :D:ph34r:

Also, after one landing yesterday a little further down the runway from the main landing area, I was gathering up my canopy, totally oblivious to the fact that my DZO had pulled his DZ van right up to me and was honking the freaking horn just a few feet from me. Then I look up and he's laughing his ass off. Fucking bastard! :D I get in, and he tells me he was honking the horn and he couldn't believe I couldn't hear it. I yell "I'm fucking deaf! That's why!!!" :D:D:D;)

5 hop n pops and a 2 way outta the 206 with GP. I actually owe beer for hanging off the strut for the first time. I hardly ever jump the 206 and when I do, it's usually a 2 or more way.
