jumpjunkie2004 0 #1 August 21, 2006 Do you have a favorite entry in your logbook? Mine was my fourth AFF jump... CAT D1 with video... Good climb out, but left with knees up a bit. 2 practice touches while Instructor released. Great 90's with excellent heading control and speed. Five 90's with good altitude awareness and solo pull at 5K. Rear riser turns with brakes set, unset 90's. Good execution of flight plan with minimum radio assistance. Flare way to fast @ approx. 25', told to hold it and PLF. Awesome Freefall. Review flare height...not cleared from radio. So...here's why it's my favorite...I broke my ankle on this jump, but the instructor didn't mention it : )Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ntrprnr 0 #6 August 21, 2006 About 4 or 5 jumps ago - in Sebastian: "First Head-down ever - with Amy. OMFG! 203 MILES PER HOUR HOLY SHIT!" A FREAKING MISSLE WE WERE! Or something to that effect._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murps2000 86 #17 August 22, 2006 Funny, you got me looking through the logbooks. I found one from when I was doing my last tandem with an experienced jumper before I finished the course, and became "full fledged". The guy I was taking weighed 230 lbs., and we planned to go unstable on exit, but he agreed to settle down when I tapped him on the shoulder around ten seconds after exit. I didn't know it, but he went and asked all the experienced TI's what the best way was to F- with me on exit. It worked, and we got really unstable, so I got a little poetic when I went to log it. #646 5/19/02 Well, we left the Otter, and everything was cool, then Josh decided to act the fool. He flipped us & spun us & turned us around, and all the while we're getting closer to the ground. I slapped his shoulders, I said "Hey! Stop jerking! If you're trying to kill us, then brother, it's working!" I got the drogue out after we got steady. Holy shit! Six grand already!? Time to pull, and take us out of here. Pretty soon I'll be sippin' beer. Opening was good, and then what do I see? Is that my my old instructor Joe flyin' next to me? Sorry, Joe, if I can't hang around, but I've got a big boy here to get on the ground. Landing was okay, just some dirt on the gear. I thought "Hey, it happens, now about that beer..." Makes me wish I still cared enough to log like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drakeshelby 0 #22 August 22, 2006 Excellent post. I had someone do the samething to me on one of my check tandems. My butt cheeks were clinched to tightly after i got down so i had no flow of anything to the brain to be that poetic!!

darrenspooner 0 #25 August 22, 2006 "shamefully embarrassing landing. Hit the cross, three cartwheels, finally stood up tangled in lines and staggering, happened to be at the feet of tandem crowd, one of whom was a patient of mine". I'm a psychologist!
