Any locals in Twin falls Idaho or in Colorado would wanna make a trip to the bridge and that wouldn't mind a newbie tagging along for a couple jumps? I did the apex Base Course back in November and have gotten 10 jumps from the bridge since then. I'm proficient in packing and fairly proficient with skills I just dont know anyone to head out there with. It would be nice to have an experienced jumper looking over my shoulder. I live in Colorado so weekend jumping is my best option. Send me a PM or an Email at cameronphelan@yahoo.com if your willing to do some jumps together. Thanks!

I met Cameron at the bridge last weekend, but unfortunately only had time for one jump with him before heading back to SLC. He's a good guy and heads-up newer jumper!

Hey Ghetto, this is the Cameron you met on Saturday actually,and thanks for the jump, I'll shoot you a PM cause I'd love to see the photo your girlfriend shot. And cphelan I'll shoot you a PM also because your a newbie jumper from CO. named Cameron! How odd!? Me too!? Id like to get back to the bridge in a couple weeks so.. Laters, camero

Yo Cameron(s) yeah both of ya!! We're headed to twin the evning of the 15th and staying thru Monday the 19th. M sure here's room in the car or we can caravan a couple of cars. My buddy Kilo has some gear on the way and we're heading out to do his first jumps for his birthday weekend. It sounds like there will be a good crew out there! Lemme know if ya want to rally!

Yea! Yea! First jumper skills comp. Sounds like we'll have three people out there learning to jump. Your jumper gets;
5 points for landing in the landing area
-5 for landing in the trees or water
10 for an aerial
-10 for a bridal wrap
5 for going stowed
-5 for making it gnarly to watch
Good times to come!

Headed out there myself for a FJC that weekend; totally stoked for the skills comp

Dude, can't make it that weekend after all, have a wedding. We are going the 30th i think. You know you wanna go then too...

Kilo may want another bridge trip so 'maybe'. But chances are, we'll be slamming sandstone country!!

making it gnarly to watch

Seems like that is worth some bonus points.

Wish I could make it, I know I could rack up some high scores!! May see you guys in the dez' the following week though. Have fun ya'll.

Its on like donkey kong! Thanks for the help everyone! Looks like ill be headed out last weekend of April and Memorial Weekend. Wish I could make it out for the other trips but duty calls haha. Take care all and ill let you know when I score a perfect 35 pts on my first jump

So if my student does a stowed gayner, with bridle wrap,(gnarly to watch) and clears it lands in the trees in the lz he gets 0 points?

Seems flawed.

Sounds like i would deserve a kick im the balls for that...

We don't teach HandHeld Gainers. and the Bridal wrap negates the attempt at an arial.
So : Bridal Wrap + Gnarly to wath = -15
Landing area = 5 trees = -5

Your student got -15 and yes he does deserve a kick in the balls for causing your teams loss.

ha!

what if he, is a she (+20) and single (+15)

also with no prior parachuting experience whatsoever (+20)

team avenfoto, back in the running bitches.

I know a pretty (+15), married (0), female (+20)

with only a couple skydives (+12) who you could

PCA from the bridge and probably still win it.

TOUCHE!!
In the running again!

Green, We're NOT PCAing you, regardless of how hot you think you are
