Marz 0 #1 June 15, 2003 Screw th doctors, screw all who think differently! I got my ass to my local DZ today and after watching a few loads land, I manifested. I had to do it. I spent all winter wondering if I was going to sell my rig because of the epilepsy, and then that MS diagnosis last week... So I got my ass geared up and did a hop 'n pop at 4000 ft. I was in the door and all I thought about was "this bastard won't get me without a fight!" and I went. I did about a 10 sec delay (it almost took me that long to get stable!), pulled, had a really funky line-twisty opening, got out of that and landed cross-wind. The DZ owner was in the field when I landed, he knows what up with me, so he gave me a big high five and a big grin. I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!! And as long as I can, I'll keep doing it. I wasn't jacked like on other jumps, but I had this feeling of vindication, like I won out over something. I'm glad you guys were here to support me. Along with a few of my buddies back home, you're the people who made this happen. Thanks PS. my rig WILL NOT be for sale.
