smulder 0 #1 April 11, 2011 Went to the DZ this weekend to get a few jumps in but due to HIGH WINDS 19 MPH gust up to 39 MPH no junps. That's part of living in West Texas this time of year.

wmw999 2,121 #2 April 11, 2011 Some friends of mine who started jumping in El Paso a long time ago used to say that the way to check wind speed was to throw pea gravel up in the air. If it landed less than 3 feet away, it was OK to jump Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hokierower 0 #3 April 11, 2011 The winds this weekend in South Texas were pretty crazy too. San Marcos was gusting above 25 for most of the weekend. So instead, of jumping, I enjoyed riding my motorcycle in the hill country. If only I was allowed to pack, then I'd have been there packing and unpacking again and again til my fingers bled.
