Very cool!
LMFAO... very cool... I see what you mean about the Bloodhound Cheeks... :clap:
Sweet! One of the guys I fly RC with (and who helped me get a job at FedEx) is a skydiving instructor and he said he'd hook me up... I just gotta grow a pair first ;)
You got bigger stones than me.
Nice vid! Looks like fun.

From what I hear, that plane was held together by more than its fair share of duct tape...Quote:

There is never a good reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! :)
Seriously though it looked fun.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! Looked like you had a blast!
I wish I had the nerve to do that...everyone I know that's done it has LOVED it! I was doing good to do the "sky coaster" at Sixflags!
and I did this one in Scotland on
Princess Street in Edinburgh on New Years Day:
It was an awesome ride. I'd definetly do it again.
I'm going to get my video to Shawn so he can chop it up with his and James'.
My uncle was a paratrooper in World War II. I ask him how many times he jumped out of an airplane. He said "Once, after that they had to push me."
Looks like great fun! It's in my to-do list, hopefully I'll get to do it soon. :D
I couldn't make myself jump when I went bungee-jumping. Stood there and stood there...Had to close my eyes and just lean till I fell off. Can't imagine what it's like from several thousand feet higher.
as you saw, they don't give you much of a chance to reconsider, once you are in the plane you are going. I think Kamil saw the altimiter on my instructor and it was somewhere in the 12,500-13,000 ft range when we left the plane. All I can say is that if you are thinking of doing it....DO IT
Uhhh....... Nope!
Why does the guy with the parachute get the helmet and the newbie only gets goggles?
