[ARCHIVED THREAD] - WOOOHOOOO!!!! Wife is National Champeen!!!!!!!!!

Posted: 10/23/2001 3:15:32 PM EDT

My wife's team just won at the National Skydiving Championships!!!!! They were trailing for the first three rounds. Then they tied in the fourth, and pulled ahead by one in the fifth, and held on for the sixth!
I am so happy for her I could almost cry!I met her when she had less than 200 jumps and watched turn into one of the best women skydivers I know. She rocks!
Last weekend, her teams coach, former Golden Knight Joe Trinko, told me privately she should have a "Black and Gold rig on".
Check her out at this link. She is front row, left.Her name is Michele Porter (one L)

Send the team a congrats at this link[url]www.omniskore.com/comp/2001/nats/2001_nats.htm[/url]

I'm so proud I could bust!

That is awesome! I have always wanted to trying skydiving a least once in my life but still cannot "quite" get up the nerve.

Actually, ive been twice. Met the wife there, as a matter of fact. Some skydivers set their callenders by Quincy.For some, though, once or twice is enough. Both times I went I was VERY ready to leave after. Its like Woodstock for ten days, and I was on the wagon.Too much noise and shit going on from 7am to ??
There are lots of problems with the local town(read law enforcement) and very well may not be there next year.Attendance is down by half.
If your a skydiver, Quincy is a must have experience. At least once.

FWIW: We're locals, and we hate our town too!

The biggest issue is the liberal leftists posing as right wing christians that feel the need to enforce everything... While they need the money that comes into the town, they feel they have to right to dictate what takes place and therefore the law gets involved.

It's my feeling that if you don't like drunken bashes with rampant nudity, then stay the hell away and get a hotel room. Unfortunity, the "morality police" around here see it differently!

One further note, we ([i]Grin&Barrett and I[/i]) know Don Kirlin and Rob Ebbing, and they are both a couple of high society dicks!

A sexy-looking wife, and a National Champion too.. and in skydiving!

Congrats to her on her achaivement, and to you on such a fine taste! [:)]

To pasepecops:
Not a shooter yet. Had her out shooting once. She doesnt like the noise. Girl with a 45 was in the next lane.I had her shooting my 38 Taurus. Too much Bang. I gotta get a 32 or 25 for her. I showed her the Kel-Tec P32 and she liked it.
HEY! Good idea! When she gets back from AZ maybe I'll surprise with one!
Thanks for the idea.

Get her started in "Skyathalon"... It could be a new up and coming sport that involves the best of both. [:D]

Hell, the paratroopers have been doing it for years... just not for points!

that's great. glad things are going well for you. take her out the best places in town, treat her like a queen for a night.

then get her to "dive" onto you in bed later.

hehe

To Anti. Ive met em too. Agree.
I thought about going up this year to get my LEGP. I will check you out if I do but its unlikely. Quincy the event doesnt appeal to me anymore.
Did you know it has its roots in a skydiving thing called " The FreakBrother Convention"
What happened was the guy running that one went to jail on RICO for drug running and it fell into Kirlins hands.

Hell, it's only a matter of time till Kirlin gets popped for running...

You guys know him as the leader of the WFFC, we know him as a local Cokehead!

In Texas(Ithink) they have a " Chute and Shoot"
Accuracy jumping and target shooting.Check out this guy. His ads in "Skydiving Magazine" have drawn some ire. http://web2.iadfw.net/lopull/jsbio.html

My wife shoots...now if I could get her to skydive.

Tell her congrats from your second home Billy. She is a looker too, but both of you are certifiable for jumping out of a plane that is going to land in 10 minutes.[:)] Wish I had the guts to try it.

Waaaaayyyyy cooolllll! That's quite an accomplishment.

When I was young, I said there's only two things that fall out of the sky: bird crap and fools. Now that I'm older, I'm thinking it might be a rush! Does that mean I've graduated to fool? Ha!

Anyway, tell you wife congratulations!

Years ago, Playboy had a playmate jump nude [:D]

Ever since then I only watch nude female jumpers. Let me know when they're planning a nude jump [:D]

Congrats [beer]

Every now and then I have to take up women naked.We give the video for free. My wife doesnt mind...as long as I'm not naked.
I hate my job sometimes.
Edited to say:
I took up a playmate once, not naked. She was attractive but not nearly as they make'em look in the mag.Nice tits though.

Tell her I said CONGRATULATIONS!!! As for me as long as the wings are still attached I'm going to continue to fly it. It sure looks cool, but you couldn't pay me enough to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! [:D]
