skybytch 259 #1 July 23, 2001 Woo Hooo!!!Checked the mail today (yes, I know it came yesterday, what can I say, I'm lazy), and instead of a pile of bills I found a big ol' envelope from the USPA. Inside was a real nice letter from Chris Needels thanking me for my [radio announcer voice]"outstanding contribution to the sport of skydiving" [/radio announcer voice] and my 10 year membership certificate!! Damn, now I really feel old....pull and flare,lisa----I am a nobody. Nobody's perfect. Therefore, I am perfect! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFKING 3 #6 July 23, 2001 Cool, Lisa ! So......you started jumping at 18 ?Let's see......in ten years I'll be....WHOA ! Definitely too old for all these PLF landings ! And by then, it will be known as the U.S. Wingsuit Association, as the sport will have bypassed 'chutes altogether....The "Endangered" PLF King Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mouth 0 #9 July 23, 2001 From one Lisa to another.....YOU ROCK girl.I'm with Zennie in that we were glad to get those sheets and jump out of trees. By the time we hit 10 years we will need automatic landing devices so PLF, Zennie and I can land without breaking a bone!!! PLF...please don't break anything before it is developed.
