as the traditional skydiver story starts out..."no shit, there i was, though i was gona die" well i didn't think i was but it was a wild weekend!!!!! HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!! oh man was my weekend sooooooo cooooooollllllll!!!! all started out on thursday when i took my rig to get the reserve repacked at Performance Variable (large german rig and chute maker). i took my sabre 150 with me!!! had the rigger repack my res. and put on some new velcrow, also asked him if my sabre would fit in the rig, he said yes, just have to shorten the closing loop a bit...... picked it up on friday. i should have had the velcrow replaced a long time ago it is so much nicer to close the top flap on my main compartment.......went to an airport about 100km away were my club was jumping for the weekend....nice strong winds to help my decent...... got on the 3rd load on sat. and did a hop n pop at 5k. 3 seconds of freefall then deployed.....seemed like forever for this sabre to open...i was scared from all the stories i had heard about slammers.(specialy since my last ride was a slamer that ripped my canopy) it opened beautifully though...right on heading. right off it was so much more zippy than my pd 9 cell. did alot of practice flares at altitude and even tried to stall it held the toggles at my waist forever, it never stalled. came up on aproach and the ground rush was wierd. came in at 1/4 brakes about 30 ft up, then let it have it when i got closer and made a perfect standup with just a little swoop. next 2 jumps were about the same, but i played with turns up there, man i loose so much more altitude, used to beable to do a 360 and almost loose no altitude, now i eat it up! i finnally see about the low turn injuries!!!!!!!!! okay then i made my 4th jump of the day (first time i ever made 4 jump in a day...BEER) it was into the field next to our club presidents new house. he was having a party for us skydivers there and it was a nice big field to land in. i set up my aproach and landed very nicely....on my butt!! then i proceded to slide 10 feet into a compost pile!!! that sucked but it was my first landing into a compost pile does that mean beer? we had a kick ass party and sang a bunch of german dfrinking songs....ya know the germans love drinking songs..... drove back to the airport in the morning and made two more jumps....first was from 11,500ft. more altitude than i've seen in almost a year.... went low on the tandem i was jumping with and never made it back up.....next jump i jumped with another tandem and i took a "cool" exit this time. was standing on the over wheel step on cessna 206 holding on to the strut and a floater bar. the tandem went and i dove after them....that posistion is a good place to view exits from. i went late so i wouldn't have to worry about being in the drouge's way. i finnally made it to them in the last 1,000ft and tried to dock but there was no time left. i then rolled on my back and watched them deploy above me...rolled back over and fell the last 1,000ft to opening altitude.....rode my chute back and the video guy followed me back...shooting video all the time of me flying....my new chute does look so pretty when it's in the air!!! oh i forgot to say. my sabre is turquoise top and bottom with neon green ribs!!! it looks sweet!!!!! well i hope you all had a kick ass weekend like i did. 6 jumps and many many beers drunk!!! wooooo hooooo!!!!!!!

mine's the 5th..... as to the nakie jump, oh well..........you'll eventually do it i swear.....evrybody will eventually....it just takes a crazy person (like me) or some one to talk one in to doing it (like us forum memebrs).......i bet we could get a good sized picture in parachutist if we got the worlds larges nakie formation going......would have to be from a high, high perspective so no one is offended by any nudity in the mag. though.....

yup dz life can shape kids lives.....i'm proof!!! i was first brought to a dz by my sister (she had the car) at the very young age 17 and then i was schooled on the right way to act in public and things that are funny.... but please be nice if you ever meet me at a dz...i'm still a little kid and when i grow up (hopefully never) i don't want to end up havving my mommy yell at me for my antics out around the town........having said that.....i need to go jump.....

as geek sorta said but i'm gona twist (really really twist)....ya could always enlist into the military..my life insurance is term for as long as i'm in and 100,000 cost $8 a month...skydiving is included!!!!!!!!! but of course ya'd be stuck in the military for atleast 4 years and depending on if ya like it that might suck royally!!!!!!!.but when ya get out say by by to the coverage!!..i'm covered for now.......maybe by the time i get out it will no longer be "high risk"....prolly not though......

joolee, birthday in august???? well then it set a birthday suit jump in august...mine just happens to be that month too. if ya don't want a b-day suit jump..there's always the bikini jump!!! i'll be making my early b-day jump/100th jump/nakie jump this july at cross keys i think....i could always take the hour flight to london and make skreamer drive me to your dz....i'll protect ya from the ooggaling, don't think many guys (hopefully none) would want to stare at a naked/almost naked wingnut, so i just stand by ya and they run away from fear of blindness......sound like a plan??? "if dreams are like movies, then memories are like films about ghosts"-counting crows

well i'm jumping a paramount "lite" helmet with an old (but small) GE 8mm camcorder.the camcorder sucks real bad, no lcd screen at all(even in the eyepeice). it was 50 bucks from a friend so i went for it. if i ever have to cut it away i'm not gona cry about it being smashed...the helet is very basic but does it's job. if i got to try a little better helmet i bet i probly wouldn't wnat to to jump the "lite" again, but for the money it is fine....
