BillyVance 34 #9 March 22, 2005 Well, the boogie was a blast! Although only three deaf skydivers made it - me, John and Andrew, we had plenty of fun skydives. John and I spent most of the weekend jumping on Guy Wright's big way sequential dives. I don't think I did particularly well, not like I used to, but then, it's hard to stay up with a slow fall rate when the jumpsuit that was made for a 140 lb guy becomes a pretty tight fit at 165 lbs! We did one fun speed star dive where 22 jumpers were split in two groups of 11, with the goal to build the stars as fast as possible out of the Casa. John and I were in the #2 slot on opposing teams. We had a little competition to see which of us could dock on our team leader first. Well, I beat him by about a second, and I signed to him "HAHAHA" and he replied with the "fuck you" finger and a shit-eating grin! I think my team beat his team too. John and I jumped our asses off though, 16 jumps in 2 1/2 days. Andrew made a few due to limited funds, but we did get together to make a 12 point 3 way for the unofficial Georgia Deaf State Record! And on THAT jump, we broke off at 5000 feet and pulled our chutes at 4000 feet so John and I could do an impromptu CRW 2 stack with our Triathlons! We built it by 2500 feet and held it down to 500 feet right over the tarmac, then broke and landed just yards apart on the main landing zone. On the last jump we made of the boogie, Andrew and I built a 2-stack CRW formation, Andrew's first ever, with John in hot pursuit in hopes of building the world's first ever all-deaf 3 stack, but it wasn't meant to be. I am already looking forward to next year's Dublin boogie and hope to draw an even bigger group of Deaf skydivers to that one! Blue Skies!

skysprite 0 #11 March 24, 2005 Sounds like you had a great time! I would loved to have gone, but it just wasn't meant to be this time around. I would love to meet you one of these days though. I'm a beginning sign student, so my most frequently signed words are slow please, and again please!! Regardless, I hope to meet you at one of these upcoming boogies. ~skysprite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #12 March 24, 2005 Yeah, wished you could have been there, Mike. The nightly parties around the bonfire were legendary, but John, Andrew and I didn't hang around for them, except the first night. Justine and Alana were all over us for a few minutes though. It was nice...
