Hey everyone! It’s been quite some time since my last post, I’m so sorry about the fact that we haven’t come up with much new content this past while. I’ve had to take a year off from skydiving to sort of reassess where my life is as well as pay off some debts that I sorta just left lying around… I’ve been staring at the skies waiting till my chance to get back up there. I missed the 100 way Canadian record attempt that was done at Parachute Montreal. They didn’t manage to break the record due to weather issues,… » Read more…

Hey everyone! I had a very eventful day last Saturday, it started off with my celebration jump for my B license. We did a 7 way that went to hell, was someone’s 100th jump and the idea was that we would do a hybrid (some belly fliers, some free fliers). The plan was that we’d have a 4 person base (I was in the base). With 2 people hanging onto us and one stinger (He was on camera filming and would randomly hook on and off in freefly) Our exit was fairly unstable and I ended up separated from everyone,… » Read more…

It’s been 4 days since then, and I’m still feeling the after effects of Saturday. I started everything off by partying with some friends Friday night and got to bed around 4:30AM… Woke up the next morning at 8:00AM to pick up some friends at the Metro (Subway) and then head to the DZ. My mom, being a pastry chef decided that she wanted to make me some cookies and brownies to bring with me, so I had about 3 boxes of junk food with me along with my skydive gear, a small ziplock back full of cherries, my box… » Read more…

Not Bad for a Wednesday

“Not bad for a Wednesday?” Ryan yelled over the noise of the small Cessna 206. “Hell no!” I answered back. It was almost sunset, and I’d been jumping since three. My training seems to be coming along nicely, I just need to work on targeting my landings better. But here I was about to get my first real freefall jump. He flashed the climb-out/get-out signal. Next thing I knew I was hanging on the strut of that little plane, looking back at a big grin and a thumbs up. “Fuck it.” I remember thinking, then I let go. Freefall. There’s… » Read more…
High altitude jump woo hoo!

Only 6 more sleeps until I get to do a high altitude 4 way jump with some friends. For those of you who don’t know what that means… Normally, when you do a skydive, you jump out of the plane at 13500 feet. Or in some cases 10500 feet (if in a smaller plane). If the plane is between 10000 and 13000 feet for more than 30 minutes, then they have to have oxygen available for the skydivers with a minimum of 1 mask for every 10 jumpers. If above 13000 feet, everyone needs oxygen for the duration of the… » Read more…
