Trinity, Rick, and I ventured into the world of dock diving today! We entered in 3 waves today with each one having 2 jumps. Trin jumped every one of them plus lots of practice jumps. Her best jump of the day was 12' 2''. She seemed to have a blast. I can see that technique and timing is critical. Ultimate Air allows 2 people on the dock so we were able to try Rick holding her and me throwing, me making her sit and throwing as she approached, and throwing with her watching and then taking her back and sending her.I did manage to throw the wubba into the crowd on one of the throws! Needless to say that wasn't Trin's best jump! (Dock dog needs new handler!) Lots of women did come up and confess that is why they don't do the throwing. After that Rick felt that he could do a much better job than me, so he tried a practice jump. Trin went about 6 feet.....We'll be back at it again tomorrow....Karen M.
