Geez dude, chill !! Just b/c your a d license skydiver doesnt mean you have to down someone else! Mick Evans "Blue Skies"

Back in i think May of 08. I was flying a triathalon 220. I was at skydive temple, texas. It was a little windy that day, between 15 and 17mph gusts. So i was making my landing pattern coming in, however i somehow end up coming in downwind. At least 25 to 30mph. I was to scared and thought i was to low to make any kind of turn to go back into the wind. So i said screw it, here i come and brace for impact. I barely miss the RV's, and the main building by inches, not to mention a line of cars in the parking lot. I luckily managed to dodge all of that and slide in the dirt parking lot. Fortunatley for me the parking lot was dirt and not asphalt. My friend willy and walt were looking up and of course the rest of the DZ was in awe, literally. Walt said he had his finger on the send button ready to call 911. So when i hit and slid in, i just layed there. In shock i didnt break anything! Here come willy and walt running fast! Hahaha. I felt like the guy on fandango! Angels!!! :-D. Another jumper there mark small was there to bandage my hand up. Yeah, just a scratch. And needless to say, i went ahead and did another jump that same day :-D. Lesson learned: flat turns come in handy! Mick Evans Mick Evans "Blue Skies"

Michael Johnson? I dont' think we've ever met, but I started jumping at Skydive Temple as well. I am too in the military and did 2 tours in Iraq. Glad to have a fellow skydiver come back home safely. I no longer live at the DZ, but will always make it back when I can. Enjoy the trip home, and enjoy the first jump back. SDT is my favorite DZ and home away from home. Blue Skies to you !!

LOL !! Yes, music much more important :-). I've actually jumped with my Iphone 3GS, and recorded myself in freefall and under canopy. I just held with my life in my hand tightly!!! Lol !! Mick Evans "Blue Skies"

Hardly any communication. Too many rules. Could never get even a two way together. The Landing area was horrible.
