Do we have Katie to drag round this year??? We are gonna be in soooooooooo much trouble. Oh guess what, I don't have to work the booths, I am gonna help aPat here and there so I should be pretty much FREE!!!! Can't wait

Got to jump that last year on my B day in Kingman. We dropped 6000#'s with a 220sq'. Flew fast, then of course 2 G12's (I think 12's) landed it safely. Oh except the load that went in because the static line was hooked up wrong. What a mess.

LOL - the Pink Patch raffle jar, next year, will be there, but with a lock on it and no slot on top for tickets. Yup and it will be full of tickets. Did you see that other post about, Mouth and Mary organizing a 40-way flash for me??? Think I can't get video on that jump?

HUM, maybe we should leet him buy all 20 tickets! He is a seller of tickets so ya know. Mouth is just going to keep spending my money. Buy a plane ticket, buy 20 jumps, what else. I guess I am still paying for that chocholate info? Does that mean 20 flashes? 40 pair? Hmm lots of altitude, will I ever come down.

***You know what's funny J*, your 'two'-First-jumps were in the same postition: Fetal * hmmm, is it possible to do a Fetal-way? MANY Many Congrats to a Beautiful Friend, with a Phenomenal Family! i saw lots of Care-Love in the Schrimsher's eyes throughout skyfest --- truly Sweet! i'm so honored to know that my first jump with you was a successful hybrid! Freaking-A!!!! i KNOW your 20-way hybrid will Rock! wish i could be there to celebrate with you J* thank you sooxoxoxooo much for the story, i LOVE and appreciate it!!! That is sooooooooooo funny, I never thought of that. It is funny that I didn't arch for my first few jumps, as kids we played skydiving all the time and arching was part of that. I guess I can blame my mother for not arching. Another funny one, I have a pic of my brother hanging upside down in the hanging harness when he was about 7. To see it today you would think he is in the perfect headdown position. Mel as usual you are so kind. A Fetal way hmm isn't that called Sit Flying? Ok maybe not. I still talk about that Hybrid we did. It rocked!! Thanks girl.

Yeah baby, TeXXas. SCR hmmm I like it. You have to do the ceremony. BTW when I was flippig through the logbook, I discovered that I have logged 86 successful SCR's that I know of. Thats not regular 8-ways real SCR's that I can tell. Can't wait till I hit 100 SCR's, maybe it will happen at SkyFest 05!

Hey where did you get that saying "spot for your freebag" I have heard that before, haven't I? I am thinking of a Hybrid 20 way, yes I know thats sounds like a lot, you know me, but its fairly simple. Be good man, are you coming to PIA?

Only if you can see the reaction on his face and what is causing that reaction (preferably in 6.3mp Digital). Congrats, J! You have been in this sport a long time. You have seen it evolve into what it is today. Some of the changes you have witnessed are for the better or worse, subjective to who you discuss it with. However, one thing that is incontestable is the amount of effort that you and your family put into keeping this sport alive. Cheers my friend - Hey, I have an Idea . . . go make a jump, if you can, at the same DZ it all started at. Locate all sthe same gear. Go nostalgic! Not possible - umm - I mean feasible? Plan it for another day . . . still a "No-Go" - then grab a case of the beer you used to drink back then - surround yourself with friends and see if you can remember the funniest weather hold story between the bunch of you. (Of course, you would have to post all the stories here after you are done) DO NOT forget the video camera - we'll need the footage later.!!! Thanks Man, it is appreciated. Funny you should say that about the gear. When I was in Ok city 1999, I went to Carlos Obrannan's place to make a jump, as I walked through teh hanger I did a double take at a couple of rigs. I got home that night and called Bob Chaffin and asked him what he did with that student gear, he said he sold it to some guy in OK. I mentioned Carlos's name and he said "thats it". I couldn't believe it! I just saw the rig that I made my first jump on 15 years later!! Come on dude I didn 't drink back then!! It was illegal. My brother would snag one beer from each icechest throughout the day and have a 12 pak for us after we finished packing. My parents never drank so I don't know how we hid it for the hour drive back to the house at night. On second thought, they knew didn't they!!

Only if he won the raffle ticket that allows him to see the prizes. Look, but no touch Can I purchase the tickets NOW!? Wait a second don't I sell them??? Is that the true meaning of a "Pink Patch"

Do you think Sun Path would mind??? Naah.

Thank you My sister was pissed that I got to jump a Square, she made her first four years earlier and had to jump the T-10. We used the squares pretty early for students. I think it was because of my father, he donated money to Steve Snyder for R&D on one of the first squares. Steve gave him No. 0001. I actually jumped four years ago at his memorial boogie. I even left it in his old Security system. Stood it up in the peas. What a ride!! Told my self I wouldn't do that again, but I did one year later at SkyFest. Now.....I wont do that again, I made it twice that was enough. Congrats to you! Red Eyes Blue Skies and Sore thighs!!!

Hmmmm got me curious??? Thank you, come on down! Just don't bring me any chocholate

Thank you, that means alot. My parents are the ones that did all the work. I think the only reason they had kids was for the packing I want my Pink Patch Can you believe that, my brother & I bring that old tradition back and neither of us has one....... PP PP PP PP I want my Pink Patch!

12-12-1984 Seagoville Texas Square parachutes were new to the students, "D' ring for ripcord with spring loaded p/c's and a radio strapped to the top of my proteck. My father was the JM, my sister was in the plane for the laugh (exit) my uncle (not really just called him that) Bob Chaffin on the radio and my mother and brother on the ground. I have been waiting for this day for 17 years. Our father made us wait till we were 17 instead of 16, he was afraid that since we grew up on the DZ we might take training for granted. I could never figure that out, my brother and I would play PLF as kids and when he was in that part of his training course for other students he would call us over to teach it. We would always complain because we were usually busy packing the students rigs for .50 each. We started packing rounds at 6 years old, and before radio's were used we would take two round plywood paddles painted with the "safety orange" color and guide the students down from their first jump using the peas as the marker. So back to my jump, I climbed out of the a/c with my sister and father looking at me. I hung from the strut smiled at my dad and went straight into the fetal position as I let go. The square came out and I was the happiest kid on earth. My uncle guided me to the center of the peas where I did a one foot stand up landing. Flat packed my canopy, my sisters, my fathers then made another jump. I have been told that my first jumps were really back in May or April of 1967, I was born Oct -1 1967. I hit 20 years with USPA in August of this year (same time my mother reached 40 yrs. and yesterday was 20 years since my first jump (that I can remember). My 20 year high school reunion won't happen till 2006. What should I do this weekend at Z hills for this milestone? Just thought I would share this, do I feel good about this because I have been around for a while to see the exciting things that have happened to the sport, or do I feel bad (old) that I have been around for a while? Thanks for reading. J Schrimsher

Yea Baby. More girls, more girls... That always seems to be the topic.......

Just hold off two weeks after the fourth and come play with us in Texas. You can ask your sisters Mel & Ali they were there, I think they initiated 11 girls into the hood that weekend. SkyFest 05 www,skyfestboogie.com BTW I think I have a Certificate for you from SunPath If I have the right person you won it at Rantoul while on crutches???, if you drop me a line I will send it out.

Ok girl wrong fest. Must be SKYFEST you meant to type..... Right??

I totally understand. It is like how when Ford cars first came out they were the best, most dependable, all round car made in America, so everyone bought them. But now-a-days other car companies have surpassed Ford in technology and safety, but Ford continues to sell based on their name and the fact that they're made in good 'ol America. Are Fords now the best cars on the market?...well I'm sure Ford owners believe so....... Well I have to agree with you there, I tried the Ford thing, no way no how ever again. Nissan baby Toyota was before the Nissan. P.S. I own a Toyota
