Halo6 0 #1 November 22, 2005 i just finished up everything for the A license last weekend, took lots of jumping but i did it. 2 on friday (in the freeeeezing cold), 4 saturday and 5 sunday. which may not be a lot to you guys but its by far the most ive jumped in such a short time. i did them all at the ranch in ny. it was great to graduate and have all these random skydivers congratulating me and just being cool people. and now i cant wait to rent gear, buy gear, jump my ass off and all that good stuff!

hongkongluna 0 #5 November 22, 2005 I had the pleasure of getting my A this weekend too, at the Ranch. Did a few loads with Justin. AND! we had the pleasure of our very own "How Not to Do A 4-way" (see skydivingmovies.com). Did a 4way with Joe (Dzo) & MJ, instructor. & boy was it ugly. My favorite post 4way moment? JOE: "Rainier, when you're upside down for that long, you should just let go" Rainier: "Oh, okay." I had the deathgrip on his suit :) RW is alot harder than it looks when the Golden Knights do it...-Rainier Sparks Brother #1 // "I vaguely heard someone yell "wait!" but by that point i was out the door."

LittleOne 0 #7 November 23, 2005 Congratulations! It takes a special person to skydive but it takes an even more special person to skydive when it is as cold as it was this past Friday and Saturday. I did one on Saturday and had to call it quits for lack of sensation in my hands. Now that you have that A, head to Florida with all the other snowbirds ASAP!

hongkongluna 0 #10 November 23, 2005 Hey Andres, THanks man! The canopy coaching didnt happen. Weather conspired against us & we couldnt get everyone together at the same time. Looks like a little more advance planning will be in order. Going to the phillipines for 3 weeks in Dec but will be back 1st week in Jan. If i can, want to visit Skydive Miami again!-Rainier Sparks Brother #1 // "I vaguely heard someone yell "wait!" but by that point i was out the door."
