I want to let everyone know, that just because classes are over, it doesn’t mean that skydiving is finished. We are still going to be making trips to the dropzone just about every weekend all summer long. I’m not going to be sending out emails every week like we do during the term, but the plan is still the same. If you want to jump, send me an email and we’ll get you set up to skydive.

Also, I’d like to say “thanks” to Brad for being President of the club for the past couple of years. I’m looking forward to running the show this next year.

And check out this video of a jump I did last week while skydiving in Hawaii. Jumping out of a plane over the Pacific Ocean and flying back to land on the beach was incredible!

We had several people make first jumps at the end of the semester that I’d like to give a hand to.

On March 18th we had Erin Ahn, Lindy Knysak, and Ryan Henrichs.

On April Fool’s Day, Michael Fergus, Derek Runge, and Brian Turek make their first jumps.

On April 8th, Jessica Levasseur jumped.

On April 15th, we had a huge number of people come out and jump: Zach Stutzman, Jeff Townsend, Rachel Hellmann, Stephanie Miller, Shrinivas Tukdeo, Benjamin Schuecker, Matyas Toth, Laura Thompson, Alexander Valencic, Kari Miller, Jonatan Jalfin, Mina Mojtahedi, Katherine Thompson, Rachael Waugh, Michael Zeunert, Justin Tobin, Isabella Knoll, and Martin Jacobsson.

On April 19th, Richard O’Rourke jumped.

On April 22 Justin Lee and Matthew Zimmermann made jumps.
