BillyVance 34 #1 April 25, 2005 A round of congratulations for Mike Sweet, a Deaf skydiver living in Talladega, AL, for being in a 4 stack CRW jump for the first time today! I was also one of the other participants. We also made 4 rotations, one by each jumper! I am not sure, but this might be the first ever 4 stack that had two deaf skydivers in it. I would have to check with Fred and David to see if they did that before. Congrats Mike!

maggott 0 #5 January 24, 2006 Yay Mike!! I'm not Deaf, but I'm hard of hearing and ASL fluent... Done a bit of stacking in my day (and still a bit from time to time). Glad to know there are others out there grabbing fabric! Though it's hard to sign with your hands full of nylon! Right on! ~Rick~Maggott __________________________________________________________________________________ "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?"

robskydiv 0 #6 January 26, 2006 Way to go Mike! I've never done CRW but always wanted to try. It must have been a rush to do the canopy formation. Harry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentFreefall 0 #7 February 2, 2006 High five Mike! David and I made first two stacks and downplane. I will check up my log book to see if I did 4 stacks with him or not. I remeber my first 4 and 8 stacks with my uncle. It was about 18 years ago. Now time for us try 4 full deaf stacks.. SCRW?? not screw!

peaceskydiver 0 #10 March 4, 2006 I know I am late here, but congrats! I am ASL fluent myself ( i see there is someone below that is). Mike does have the advantage of sight at most. Glad to know that there are sone deaf skydivers out there. I have yet to meet one, but glad that I can communicate when that time comes :-) peace christi "From Wings Came Flight" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
