 Hooray
for Woolly! Hooray for Hardcore Charlie! Hooray for Prickels!
This weekend we partayed like it was 1479 (except without the
opium to keep our complexions fair, but we did have the corsettes
to keep our figures thin…Prickels passed out b/c he's a
member of the Forestry Association for Graduate Students). Hell
yes, we partayed in celebration of 1.) it was Saturday night 2.)
Prickels made his 200th jump! 3.) Woolly made his 1000th jump!
and D.) Hardcore Charlie made his 5000th skydive! For those who
don't know, "Hardcore" Charlie made his first jump in
the military. He has some impressive history too, to include actual
combat jump experience! He parachuted into the Korean War! (scary!)
And hell, I hope I'm half as hardcore as he is when I'm his age.
OH yeah, did I mention he's 75 years old?!!!!! After a nice 10-way
form load, Charlie's own wife pied him in honor of #5000! haha,
right on Hardcore; you rock! Charlie then gave a very good speech
which highlighted how outgoing and otherwise awesome everyone
at Adrenaline Air Sports (commonly referred to as ASS) and the
Skydiving Club of Virginia Tech is. He talked about how he'd never
stayed at any other dropzone for "more than 2 days"
before they'd try to run off "an old man" or he'd just
get bored and leave. But he says he's found a special group, unlike
any other, here at this DZ w/ these people. And that's why he's
out every weekend skydiving his 75 year-old hardcore role-model
ass off! So next time you see him, shake his hand and congratulate
him; he's made several hundred jumps in the past year, how many
have you made?!
 Speaking
of 10-way form loads, 10-way was the name of the game this weekend;
needless to say, exciting stuff! One of the most "most radical"
jumps was Woolly's 1000th which happened to be Prickels's 200th
ass well. So Christie, Dancin' Justin, Prickels and Woolly launched
a 4-way star from the lead 182, and were then joined by Phil Matthews,
Buzzard, Giggles, Vordo, Richard, and Tracy (flyin camera) to
form the snowflake-like formation. Turned that to a stereo-in-out
(maybe that's what it's called), to a big-ass opposed
diamondoid, to a 8-way star with Woolly in the middle kissin'
on Christie, kickin' Dancin Justin in the face (by accident, d'oh!)
and geekin' everybody else as the entire formation plummeted through
3000 feet. "Wow, great jump everyone!
Thanks for making my #1000 spectacular!"
Some other
exciting stuff happened to, ask your local skydiving club representative
about that…I'm running out of space!
But night
rolled around and the freaks came out….hoooowwwwwwwwwooooooooooo!
The Skydiving Club treated everyone to an awesome cake w/ Woolly's
delicious near-naked ass on it and hosted an excellent cookout
with the food being preparred by our wonderful, handsome, dashing,
single (ladies....540 309 1281) pilot, Johnathan. Okay, that's
Woolly's phone no., I don't know Johnathan's, but Woolly will
forward any messages you have to Johnathan. The campfire...uhhh,
campfires came next and the full moon showed us Belligejen's true
colors: Red, White, and Drunk. Well, it was either the full moon
or the alcohol. Bar Force was back in classic form and the night
ended with an impassioned game of, duuhhh, what's that game called...uhhhh,
oh yeah, Kings and some boogie videos when everyone decided that
the fire was doing the job kickin out the heat any more.
So come on
out to Squires Monday night on the second floor right near the
display cases at the top of the stairs for all the 411 you need
on making your first jump or progressing on to get to the point
where you can jump by
yourself and have some fun with others! oh yeah, look for the
foxy blonde at 6pm
tonight to find out more! if you cant make it, email skydive@vt.edu
for the e-411!
Blue Skies....PEACE!
