The Bow. That dastardly Bow. CG continues to struggle with the Bow exit, but give them credit for pursuing perfection. It would be easier to change exits and live in denial. A month ago, the team couldn't make it work. Saturday, they made successful, yet sloppy, Bow exits 5 out of six attempts. We know it is timing, it will take a team effort to correct, and we see improvement along the way. Stay tuned for tales of perfect Bow exits followed by two more points on the hill...
Other events and lessons from Saturday: Everyone on the DZ likes the team name except one, who said it was "gay", Cate prefers "Cate" over "Sweetie", the team loves Cheezit crackers (sponsorship and orange jump suits coming soon), high winds means less dirt on Chris' jump suit, and Dave has discovered he can maximize his cost:freefall ratio by pulling low.
Last - CG has proposed a bet with the other 4-way team that has formed at the DZ. All Friends of CG, that team has a bright future. The bet: dinner for the higher placed team in the May CASL tournament. No response yet. We'll add a link to their site just as soon as they come up with a team name that isn't, well, gay.
Tune in next week for Tales From Eloy: Episode I.

Comments anyone?

this team is going to beat Team Momentum, Team Gravity, and the military. Eventually. :)
great blog! made me laugh as I came to 'grips' with the reality that the reason the bow wasn't working is partly... errr, mostly due to my not pushing off the plane and presenting. pulling the formation down. doh! that is tails job, not mine!
Shermanator - it isn't your fault. I didn't push you hard enough out the door!
Sloppy exits are like riding a moped - they're both fun, you just don't want your friends to see you...
