5 Point Duck


Had a great jumping weekend, on the whole. Saturday was winded out but I got 9 jumps in before Sunday night. Some really fun ones as well. A tube exit with Dwight and Tracie which went ALL OVER the place after we let the grips go. An awesome dive exit with Dwight and Justin, Point Break style. Of course a bunch of hop and pops to work on my landing, good flares but need better accuracy still. The most accomplished jump was with Josh, my tunnel coach. We put the belly skills to the test and the goal was an unlinked exit and the 5 points....on a rubber duck! Josh moved the duck 5 times and then I was to take take it from him and land with it. I got the last point right at 5k, broke and tracker....during the track I realized I had the duck in my right hand, my throwing hand...genius! I switched him into my mouth and pulled, both of us safe!

Love the lingo Si. One of the benefits of another sport is the new dictionary of cryptic slang. Loving it. Of course staying alive ranks high too :-)

Well, I'm lost. I just hope it isn't as bad as I'm interpreting. I need my naievety blanket. Keep safe, Si Si. Mumsie xx
