huge 0 #30 January 9, 2009 First jump of the year was out of AN-2. Perfect winter day, I guess that was first time in a month that we saw Sun during the weekend. Canopy ride was a bit chilly as temperature on ground was -8C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skittles_of_SDC 0 #32 January 9, 2009 Yeah, I've seen those. Scotty said he had one I could barrow if I wanted. I turned it down because I was afraid of breaking myself worse. Maybe I should reconsider. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmills0705 0 #37 January 9, 2009 Being in the frozen tundra known as Indiana, 4,000' from a C-182 on Jan 3rd was all we could get in. It was a little chilly, but damn worth it. Heading to sunny FLA at the end of the month. I feel for you on the tib/fib fx. I had the same thing (along with multiple ankle bones) several years ago. I made a jump 3 weeks after my second surgery... just do a butt slide in and you will be fine ;)Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #39 January 9, 2009 Quote I surged into some concrete as I was trying to avoid and obstacle on landing. Oh, a golf cart! I thought maybe the obstacle Skittles had been trying to avoid was a big round thing, about 8,000 miles across. I love the comment on that video, too: 'This guy jumps out of a plane and attempts to land at a golf course. He picks up a little too much speed near the end of the jump and ends up slamming into a golf cart.' Because if he hits a golf cart, then of course it must be on a golf course. A golf course with a windsock and an anenometer. And there's a plane parked there! What's that doing on the golf course?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #41 January 9, 2009 I marked "Otter" but then I remembered I haven't jumped yet in 2009 - my final jump at the ZHills boogie was in 2008. But it will be from an Otter tomorrow, so my answer is still valid. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

lekstrom10k 0 #46 January 10, 2009 After surviving the night jump and the closely followed night water jump at SummerFest last summer, thought you might get out of the pain thing. Tecnically it was anotherr year. About 1981 we waited all day for the clouds to go away and left . About three miles toward home it was severe clear Everyone did a 180. It got down to 2 jumpers to go. It was a very bright hazy day with a fresh coat of snow. I landed first with a total "White Out" and watched my ankle fold under on landing. They guy landing after me said he was glad I was ther moaning and groaning for depth perception. Since then I like to have people on the ground to land next to.
