The Reserve Ride

It started like this. Head down coaching from Doug Oberle.

It continued on like this. Lots of fun. Then came the deployment!

At this point I am thinking I can save this! That lasted about 2 seconds.

The uneven risers soon had me on my back looking up while the canopy spiraled at the ground.

The little canopy got going pretty good! Finding the handles took about 4 seconds, they were almost as high as my shoulders.

Goodbye!
