Jump 251 - A Pinyon Signature Event

Mr. Jon Pinyon (a.k.a. Superman) organized
this jump, a four-way freefly transition
thing. Jon, Stephanie, Tom and I were the
participants. We exited head-down, spun to
a sit position and then commenced
transitions on Jon's command.

It was interesting to see Jon organizing in
mid-air. Usually organizers do their
organizing on the ground or the plane and
then hope for the best in the air. Jon was
motioning and waving people here and there
throughout the dive.

It worked. About 45 seconds into the jump
we all found ourselves squared off and
facing each other in the perfect square
that we had planned on the ground.

My transition was a lame 360 sit spin but I
didn't want to lose everybody as I was the
only one with a camera. Stephanie had a
nice transition. Tom had a nice transition
to his moon gazing position (a tough one to
pull off with style, which he did).

Great jump.

The Cobalt had been giving me sweet
openings all day, but it was tired of
giving. It slapped the heck out of me with
a hard opening.

That's OK. I absolutely love this canopy
and am really enjoying my landings about 50
times more now.
