Amazon 7 #27 June 7, 2004 :7:0 A great weekend at Snohomish. Met some new people and on Saturday I initiated 3 new Pink Mafia Sisters. Got to meet Austin a new to our DZ guy who videoed AcmeSkydivers initiation. I also Initiated FlyingSquirrel and Christy who normally jumps in Utah but was up here visiting her friend. This evening at 730 PM I initiated the DZO’s girlfriend into the Pink Mafia. Welcome to the Pink Mafia Elaine great jump launched from the Caravan and flown flawlessly. The AFF student that left after us had a hard pull and then line twists and had to cutaway. Luckily I took a bearing on some trees to where in the JUNGLE to the east of the student field the canopy came down and after stumbling thru the blackberries and salmonberries and stinging nettles.. I found it just as the sun had set. Great ending to a wonderful day at Snohomish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChasingBlueSky 0 #28 June 7, 2004 :6:2 6 jumps all freefly, and 2 parties this weekend - at two different dropzones. I had wayyyyyyy to much beer Saturday night. We called it quits close to 5am and I think it was about 19 beers I killed off!_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Dumpster 0 #32 June 7, 2004 0:3:0 We had a really nice weekend for a change up here at Sky Knights. Got to the DZ late Saturday afternoon, (My daughter Sarah and I both work Saturday mornings - ) did a couple 4-way dives, and Sarah made three jumps through AFF level 6. One more AFF jump then I can start taking her up on coach jumps. Met TJ Landgren and partied with him Saturday night. Very cool dude! We had such a blast!! He vidoed Sarah's Level 6 jump. She looks GREAT! Spending an hour and a half in the tunnel while beginning AFF make such a world of difference! She's catching on to canopy control very well - (Right now she using the clubs' Clipper main-) I beleive Scott Miller will be up at our club sometime this summer and I will be signing her and myself both up for his course. In the meantime I promised I'd spend a day with her doing Hop-n-pops out of the Cessna, so she can OD on canopy skills. It was a very good weekend!

Stacy 0 #33 June 7, 2004 :0:0 went to arkansas for a wedding with a hot guy in a tux this weekend. Met up with Kris and drank wayyyyy too much beer, saw some she-males, took Galen to the gallows and went to a real rodeo. Wedding was uneventful, but the after-party was great, since another girl and I ran out with the rest of the keg!!! __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dterrick 0 #36 June 7, 2004 :8:several. Kick-assest weekend I'd had in a VERY long time (without involving cat.1). Earned my Coach 1 rating (case) First head-down (part of the course) First spinng mal (altitude disappears VERY quickly ...) Flew a Nimbus 1986 (...I hear the 2000 models are da bomb) - Got a chiropractic opening under a Sabre 210 on my final certification jump. Had the lesgstrap ball up while flying a Bluetrac (painful enough to avoid a right hand pattern) Round reserve ride - 24 ft of Lopo is NOT enough unless the spot is good enough to drift to the peas. 3 way Horny Gorilla with the DZO and the other successful coach candidate that hit 169 mph before things got wooly . Our plane threw it's alternator bracket Friday night and cost us 3 hours of jumping/coaching. The weather bit us on Saturday and took out another 6 hours. Sunday afternoon at about 5, our tanker truck ran out of 100 LL and, without fuel, we all went for Chinese food. 8 jumps and 9 canopy rides in 48 hours, a new rating, and a lot of beer owed. Weeeeeee that was fun (and damn I'm sore today). I wonder if my Instructor/Jumpmaster course in July will be ablte to beat this weekend?

wildblue 4 #44 June 7, 2004 0:3:0 Hop n pop then got two decent jumps in before my head wanted to explode. I even flailed around with Scottbre! Really bummed that I missed out being on the 5 point hybrid (4 way belly, 2 hangers, really impressive moves by the 4-way guys)it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fast 0 #45 June 7, 2004 80s:5:0 The jumps were ok this weekend, but more importantly we finally had some decent weather. Went out saturday night with dumpster and a buncha others from our club for one members birthday and to show the two guys in from out of town a good time. Learned quite a bit about how to improve my sit from TJ Landgren... good coaching goes a long way. I know saturday night was a blast cause I was dragin on sunday ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
