It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these posts; mainly because I’ve spent all my free time jumping this summer and haven’t done much else. What can I say, I’m a lucky girl!
Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t cooperated much these past couple weekends, what with fall arriving at a much faster clip than I’d prefer. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fall. So long as it’s sunny and the weather is jumpable. There’s always a catch, isn’t there?
It’s been difficult going two weekends without skydiving. This weekend some friends and I even headed down to a local dropzone – after hearing that the plane was grounded at our home DZ – without a single jump to show for it. Sad, really.
Luckily, I slipped in a jump last Thursday when the weather was perfect! It was a fun freefly jump with friends Nick and Rick.
We did a three man rolling train, releasing once stable and transitioning into a sit. (Turn up the audio if you want to hear some fun commentary on the ride up.)
Nick is on the bottom with me in the middle and Rick on top (shooting video for us).
This was the only jump of the day as the sun was already setting once we packed up. Still having a hard time getting used to these shorter days.
Blue Skies!

Greatings, Interesting, I`ll quote it on my site later.
Thanks
Nice exit, I thought you all were going to go into a stable sit there after breaking up.
andy – yeah, well it didn’t quite work out that way. nick did a pretty good job for only his second sit-fly attempt. maybe without the RW suit he’d be able to hold stable better. next time we’ll all be there for sure
