rhino 0 #1 March 10, 2004 deleted I won't have this up long. I've mentioned this incident over the years on dz.com. This was my first and last bounce. 3 years ago. Had to sleep with a pillow between my knees for a year it hurt so bad. Nothing broke but my pride. Triathlon 150 at 1.25. Take a look.. I'm taking it down in 15 minutes.. Rhino I did everything wrong!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhino 0 #8 March 10, 2004 QuoteAt least ya looked good doing it! Why thankya!! That was the beginning of my swoop mania.. Got my ass chewed by hooksnswoop and started my real training that day. I didn't touch my front risers for over 30 jumps after that.. The jump was not planned.. The only out I left myself was the hanger. What a dumb stinking thing to do that was. I'm glad I wasn't hurt and that I learned EARLY before I was under a canopy that could have smeared my ass all over the dz.. That one could have I just got lucky because the ground was very wet.

rhino 0 #15 March 10, 2004 QuoteFor us less experienced ppl, what did u do wrong? Did you do a front-riser approach or a turn? I did a 90% to the right and 180% to the left front risers.. Pretty stupid thing to do.. Just imagine how stupid I would have become had I nailed my first non-planned, 90-180 swoop!! I would have ended up in the incident reports after being convinced that I was totally the shit! SPLAT!! I'm glad I bounced... Rhino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
