riddler 0 #5 September 15, 2009 Swayze had an undeniable charisma. Point Break did get me excited about skydiving. I feel a little silly admitting that, but it's true. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xu9mx_patrick-swayze-chippendale_datingTrapped on the surface of a sphere.

NickDG 23 #13 September 15, 2009 I never met Pat, but I knew his brother Don pretty well. He's an accomplished actor, skydiver, and B.A.S.E. jumper. Sweet dreams Patrick . . .

rwieder 0 #16 September 15, 2009 Wow, what do you say? Class act, and actor. I loved Point Break when they did their last speed star. "Johnny, it's 1,000 feet...Pull The Rip Cord!" "After you Alphonse, I Insist!" (Swayze pulls Keauno's pc.) Reeves did an amazing rear riser pull just before he landed in the water for his 1st jump, wouldn't ya say? Swayze was a natural sky diver as well. He loved the sport and got up as many times as he could. Now he's gone, but not forgotten. He can have all of the tunnel time he wants now. See you when i get there bro. Losing you is a bummer, but you fought the good fight.-Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D22369 0 #17 September 15, 2009 Point Break did get me excited about skydiving. I feel a little silly admitting that, but it's true. *** it captured the thrills and fun and gave the non jumper a glimpse into skydiving and made them think... I gotta try that. of course the reality of skydiving is a tad differentRoy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Skies Black Death Patrick Swayze Yea, I was expecting that 5-way on my first jump or that 3 minute 40 second freefall. Seriously, what a loss, what a lucky guy, I bet if he could have a normal life and live to 80 he would choose what he had EVERY TIME. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
