After leaving [for the object] "knowing" that the conditions would suck.... well they ended up being great! Ended up haveing a nice 2sec delay from an A.

My jump went well, But I know others must have some "Friday the 13th Jump Horror stories"

whats yours?

The winds are doing 26 MPH right now = not even thinking about going downtown.
And I was gonna see if I could get unlucky and have my first object strike tonight, damm.

Nice calm night at the PT, had two people new to cali with me and called another local to show. Cherried a new groundcrew dude.A little moonlight pushing through the clouds. I went first and didn't think about it until now, but I was jumping an old base rig I bought from the dzo. It was an old "hunch" from DM with a Lazer 250 main. It used to belong to David "Wildman" Grant , anyone rember him? I didn't do any thing to it, just inspected and packed it. Right on exit, I gave props to a couple of "missing friends". Everything went great, fri the 13th,WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT!

Let's see... first solo, at night, strong wind... full moon, 13th jump on Friday the 13th... all went great.

As for the horror... Getting the hair out of the rig was kinda pain, and I also snagged the PC mesh on my claws. And nearly fell off the A because the transformation caught me midclimb, yeah.

65 degrees, winds 10 degrees off center, 4 MPH on the ground....... Chance of lighting storms that never came. Son of a bitch!!!

It was a beautiful night to be introduced to California. I was thinking about it being Friday the 13th right up until the words "want to make a base jump?" Thanks Pete! Our missing friends were remembered well tonight on the tower.

No horror stories yet...and hopefully none to come.

Was a perfect night, no wind, no clouds, full moon, lots of snow and not to many cars on a 700ft S.

just perfect!

aint night yet,but weather has been perfect all day,i have saved my packjob for tonite to reopen my 180ft A(there has been repair crew on it the past 2 months)

Not a horror story... It was a perfect night, full moon, some snow on the ground to reflect the moonlight, just the perfect amount of wind to give me a nice separation from at that time an unjumped 405ft A. Opened up a new A and I actually didn't realise it was friday the 13th until I got home. :)

Rain, 25MPH wind. 240 feet B.

5 jumped somewhere in texas. Winds honkin. We all had a blast.

Hey Little Stranger, 13th base jump on the 13th.Got more balls than I. Dave

Nice day with friends on the E near my village, minus 15 degrees, beatiful 2hour hike up, two meters of snow on the exit, 10sek.
Some beer after the jump....

Holy shit. That's near your village? Sweet.
