Vallerina 2 #1 November 22, 2004 I didn't see them anywhere, so here goes! 0:2:1 big case owed for my first jump on my Icon!!! I did two nice freefly jumps (one Jraf was on!) with my brand new Icon. It fits perfectly. It's so much smaller than my last rig! It's going to be a big pain getting the canopy into the bag, though. I have to at least learn how to shove that bad boy in there. I absolutely love my Icon, though, and I'll post pics tomorrow! I learned how to use a unicycle! Really...I did...I'm great at it, too... Thanks to hmatousek and her man for letting us take over the trailer! I also had big fun at an interesting "dinner." Doesn't everyone need 6 different beverages with dinner? eeneR and I solved all of life's problems last night. Overall, a very pleasant weekend!

Evelyn 0 #5 November 22, 2004 0:3:0 Only 3 jumps cuz got rained out the second day. But the third jump was a PMS initiation jump, hilarious. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixieskydiver 0 #6 November 22, 2004 :7:0 This was my second weekend going up to CSS to jump instead of my home dropzone and like the first time it kicked ass. They had a CASA all weekend and of course the people are hella cool. FFF kick ass. Now if all doesn't go according to the first plan I will be defaulting to the better plan which is going up there next weekend and getting my 200th skydive.

skysprite 0 #7 November 22, 2004 0:2:0 Got video of one of my jumps. You can now refer to me as Tiff the Turtle, cause that's what I looked like for a few seconds while I was stuck on my back spinning, while attempting to do a barrel roll. (Don't worry, I got flipped back over in time to geek the camera before waving off and pulling.)~skysprite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 8 #8 November 22, 2004 0:0:0 I went a-road trippin this weekend to go see another DZ. My buddy & I dropped in on the Couch Freaks in Winterset, IA, and we spent the weekend on the ground while the weather had the best of us.... It was a cool trip, though!!=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

op5e 0 #12 November 22, 2004 Ya really should specify what the three numbers are for, else us newbies might post it wrong . Took me a while to find out. 0:4:0 Jumps - Basically did 4 hop and pops from 4000 to improve my exits and also play with my canopy. Did riser turns, stall recovery, different landing patterns and pretty much had a blast under canopy. Love hijacking tandom loads Beer - Should be one beer owed for finishing my accuracy, and hence earning my A license. But small dropzone and no one going out for beers after i got away with it.

vt1977 0 #14 November 22, 2004 :1:1 One jump from cloudbase before the weather closed in. So fantastic to get my knees in the breeze again! Beer probably owed for something on which I am sworn to secrecy... Vicki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #16 November 22, 2004 Wow, ten jumps at Skyquest? I'm guessing the weather was better this year then last. Good.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

weegegirl 2 #17 November 22, 2004 0; 0 Jumps? You're kidding, right??? Not only does the weather SUCK, but I don't think ANY Michigan dz has been flying lately. But I still had a great weekend.

Did a couple tandem videos and some fun jumps. Since the uppers were hauling we figured it would be cool to do a 10 mile crosscountry. Unfortunately our spot was not quite consistent with the direction the wind was blowing from, so we ended up only 4 miles or so "in the right direction", crabbing the second we left the airplane. It was cool though.. another group tried it again later, perfectly upwind from the airport and made it back easily..... Is it weekend yet?

I finally packed a main though, then pulled it out, then packed it again. Now I just need to pack one and jump out of the plane with it. Didn't even get to ski because I was very sick at the end of last week and spent the weekend recovering. If it ever doesn't snow on a weekend here, maybe I'll get to jump again someday...
