cpoxon 0 #1 May 14, 2005 We completed a 104-way today (6th jump today, 11th in total). Interesting formation with six rooms (BillVon is in one of them). Jumped from 1 Skyvan and 4 Otters from 16,500 feet (18,000 MSL). We're going to do it again in the morning before going sequential! Very cool....Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AudreyRowe 0 #2 May 14, 2005 Very cool! We spent last weekend at Langar staring at the clouds and horizontal windsock, hoping and failing to get a 50 way done. Make sure you bring lots of photo's back to make us jealous! Give Taz big hugs from me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites cpoxon 0 #3 May 15, 2005 We dropped to 103 people today but we held the formation for over 9 seconds on the second dive. We dirt dived the val is the best . i had to sleep next to her. second point (really cool concentric rings), and went up and did the dive. One of the lines had a break but we transitioned to the second point. It wasn't quite complete, but it was incredibly cool to achieve what we did. Then we did it again, and again it was very close but a couple of people were out. The next dive had a couple of minor funnels and then on the last dive, the base funnelled and that was a very funny jump, so no fully completed 2 point 100+ way for us yet. We have 3 more jumps tomorrow. Hopefully doing the 2 points on the first jump in the morning and then on to something really funky that Tony has dreamed up for us. Now we are in the bomb shelter having a 70s polyester party (not much polyster but lots of 70s tunes).......Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Vallerina 2 #4 May 16, 2005 You rock, Craig!!!

Just arrived home and I am knackered but trying to stay awake to realign my sleep cycle. I had an awesome time in Perris.

Seriously, I think we completed 4 or 5 100+ ways. And we were sooo close on a few of the 2nd points.... It was great to meet up with a lot of old friends from Alberta, the UK, Spain, Holland, and make new ones from all over too.
