Swoop-n-Chug contest at Skydive Chicago, June 2004, for Project Horizon III. I was coming in too hot, so I decided to grab the beer on my way by. I ended up winning with a score of 16 seconds.

Malfunctions:

9 or 10 cutaways (lost count). Pretty much every single one was line twists that I couldn't kick out of. (I have many false portions of teeth due to the 3 rings under a lot of tension coming across my face upon cutting away! Then I learned to start covering my mouth with my left hand.) You end up on your back spinning at the ground under a high performance canopy having no idea what altitude is being burned. One time I managed to actually pull both toggles until I could tell which one I had to pull more of, and upon doing so, stopped the spin. But I wouldnt necessarily recommend that... :o)


Most Memorable Jump:

Jumping into Lane Stadium with 7 other friends for the home opener against Syracuse in 1997 or 1998 - I forget which year.


Jump Philosophy:

Enjoy every moment of the sport and if you have a malfunction - don't worry. You have the rest of your life to pull the reserve.
