FallinWoman 1 #2 July 7, 2001 So far for the week I am 0:3:0I am excited that I got through a whole day of jumping without owing beer. That happens so seldomly! I am looking forward to a few jumps this weekend. It will be hot but clear skies!There is a POPs accuarcy competition at my DZ this weekend. That should be fun to watch!I wish everyone blue skies and safe jumps this weekend!!Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister 0 #4 July 7, 2001 I haven't owed beer in ages. I am amazed by all these "firsts" you people seem to have. Of course, I don't jump much these days so maybe that is part of the reason. I also keep my mouth shut about certain firsts so I don't have to owe beer! Like, why bother telling people "that was my first five way!" etc. hehe Sis It isn't brave if you aren't scared...

Dutchboy 0 #5 July 8, 2001 Put me down for a 2:2:2, but the weekend isn't over yet. I also got 3.5 hrs of flight time yesterday, does that count toward my score?The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsey 0 #6 July 8, 2001 Hee HEE!!!! And I had forgotten how much fun it was to buy beer!!! I got to buy beer a couple of weekends ago after my first reserve ride! I was starting to think I would never have one.....WRONG!!!!"I live with fear and terror, but sometimes I leave him and go skydiving!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister 0 #7 July 9, 2001 Well sure enough, I said that and then had some firsts today (all on one jump) my score was 0:2:1...my mouth gets me into trouble doesn't it? Beer-buying trouble that is!My firsts weren't as exciting as a cutaway...just mild stuff like first jump at SDH (Hinton), first jump from a T210, etc. Weird exits from that 210...there is no step because it has retractable landing gear so you have to sit in the door with your legs dangling out and the person behind you pushes you out. Fun though!Sis It isn't brave if you aren't scared... Edited by freaksister on 7/9/01 00:30 AM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emma 0 #8 July 9, 2001 Hinton? Is that Hinton USA? Do we have a doppelganger DZ??? Or were you sneakily over in the UK, jumping at my DZ but faking an English accent all weekend?Emma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #9 July 9, 2001 8:7:2 beer was for first night jump and first landing in Farmer McNasty's field....that was cool actually landed in hay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sblue 0 #10 July 9, 2001 Well I was 0:9:0 for the weekend....I need to work on the second number. I need to make 30 more jumps by the 17th. I set a goal to hit 500 jumps by 2 year anniversary in the sport. Lets all pray for blue skies for the next weekend...Shawn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grogs 0 #11 July 9, 2001 0:3:1 myself. The 1 was for my first night jump. Sounds like you might have lived up to your nickname this weekend, huh Mouth? QuoteThere is a POPs accuarcy competition at my DZ this weekend. That should be fun to watch!And probably a bit scary too. They had an accuracy competition when I was up in Cross Keys. It wasn't an actual POPS competition, but several of the competitors were qualified for SOS, even if they weren't actually members. They would get so focused on hitting the target they'd neglect other things like flaring. Ouch! Fortunately they were all jumping big accuracy canopies, so no one got hurt.

mouth 0 #13 July 9, 2001 Grogs...I gladly opened my mouth about the night jumps with a nationla director there to sign me off and the hay field since the entire load was there to witness it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #15 July 9, 2001 0:2:1The beer was for AFP graduation. The 2 jumps were my level 7 and my high solo. I totally chickened out of my low solo. I did the high Saturday morning and was planning on doing the low right after but got winded out. Then sat all day thinking about it and getting more and more nervous. I can't explain why...but now I'm not anymore. I want to do a couple of just fun solo jumps practicing my exit on each before I do the low solo just for my own piece of mind.cielos azules y cerveza fría-Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister 0 #16 July 9, 2001 Emma...nope, I wasn't in the UK this weekend (unfortunately! that would be fun!) this DZ is in Oklahoma of all places, but it is one of the coolest I have been to yet! Sis It isn't brave if you aren't scared... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #17 July 9, 2001 1:5:0 for me!! Woohoo, I had a great weekend. I did have a few firsts, but I don't think they were very beer worthy-first time doing a 5-way, first time jumping both weekend days, first time jumping with a hangover, and first time hanging out at the river with the gang afterwards. It was awesome!Andrea"Up high, I feel like I'm alive for the very first time" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chronistin 0 #18 July 9, 2001 1:1:0 for me.both could've been of better quality, but the jump was my 50th and I jumped my first Nitro, so I'm kind of satisfied.GreetingsChronistin aka Andrea*************************************http://www.wortwerkstatt.at/skydiving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister 0 #19 July 9, 2001 Way to go Chronistin! I had my fiftieth as well! I didn't think I would ever get there! LOL Took me a year! Those last five or six were hell, in the way that they took forever to get to 50! It was like...46...47...48...49..50!!!! Yay! I looked at my total time and I have 31 minutes and 56 seconds of freefall! Blues, Sis It isn't brave if you aren't scared... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallinWoman 1 #24 July 9, 2001 Just wanted to join the club.I hit 50 last week.... am up to 58 now. I seem to be on a roll. I am also just about to my 1st anniversary of my 1st jump, so Sis it looks we are on a similar slow pace!!Once my rig comes in, though, I will probably jump more. Right now it is just too expensive!!Blue skies,Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
