Jillspop 0 #1 May 8, 2018 Stumbled across this site by accident; skydiving is a whole new world since my last jump back in the mid-70s. CRW apparently came and went while I wasn’t looking, 4- and 8-way sequential was in its infancy, style and accuracy was only just on its way out,and world record stars had 20-30 bodies. Quit due to military moves, and sold what was then a state of the art rig; 5-cell Strato Star in a WonderHog hand-deploy three ring circus (with a serial number in the mid-100s), and a 26’ conical reserve. Did most of my 273 jumps in CO and TX, at DZs that no longer exist, and have a few 2-digit D License signatures in my logbook. Starting to feel old.

Jim Fagan D-4974 It looks like you left just as I got started. Good to hear from you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 14 #3 June 5, 2018 You might want to get back in. The gear's never been better and the landings are much easier on the old bones. I had that same Wonderhog setup, except tapewells instead off 3 rings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TriGirl 268 #4 June 7, 2018 If it makes you feel any better, we only stopped jumping Style at the nationals a couple of years ago. We still do accuracy. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
