jimmyh 0 #1 October 1, 2006 Check out America's Funniest Home Vdeos tomorrow (Sunday) on ABC at like 7:30 or 8:00. I sent in a video earlier this year of a tandem student backing out on jump run. It was hilarious, so funny in fact that AFV flew the tandem student, the instructor, and myself down to L.A. for a taping of the show. Our video was selected as a top three finalist. I'm not supposed to tell whether the audience voted our video 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Just check it out, I think it's pretty damned funny. -jimmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sockpuppet 0 #5 October 1, 2006 Is this the one with the tandem student shouting "i f*cking hate you..." or was that another video... ------ Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #11 October 1, 2006 That was funny. Billy thought the the guy was having a stroke. I'm guessing the guy wouldn't sign the waiver to let the video air unless they showed "Part 2" right?

Froggy 0 #19 October 2, 2006 That was indeed hilarious! The guy's reaction was so freaking funny, it was unreal -- almost theatrical!

'Shell'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jimmyh 0 #23 October 2, 2006 I'm glad ya'll thought that was pretty funny too. I've been watching America's Funniest Home Videos since it's first episode 17 years ago, and I've always wanted to have a video played on that show. So when I filmed Barry earlier this Spring, what with his whole crying and then jumping later in the day thing, I knew I had a video that would at least get played on the show. However, I had no idea that we would get selected as one of the top three videos of the show. Next thing I know, I got an email from the producers, and Bary, Mike Schechter (the tandem master), and myself are getting flown down to L.A. for a taping of the show. They gave us each $150, $50 dollars each per day for for food, and I spent all $150 the first night drinking down at Hermosa peer, so I was fully hung over during the show. Good times, and even though we lost to a stupid pug dog barking at the TV, I can finally say I shot a video that got on America's Funniest Home videos. Thanks for watching, and hey did it ever get uploaded to Skydiving Movies? -jimmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Elisha 1 #24 October 2, 2006 QuoteQuoteI know what place it got...through my secret source...I'm not telling though.
