Chizazz 0 #1 January 19, 2006 Oooooh, there's a show about skydiving on the Discovery Channel right now. It's about Greg jumping out of a plane and getting in a new one.

tdog 0 #9 January 19, 2006 Quotefucker made it look easy didnt he? You put a drogue on a plane and make it fall an even 110MPH and I will fly relative with it too... Just kidding, he made it look so easy that it must have been hard... I was upset that he did not do it the first time when he was in the sit. Sit flying into the plane would have been real impressive... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also think that when most whuffos think of skydiving they think rw and big-ways, hence flat is probably better Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!

Its not a new stunt. In fact, Greg had done it before too (after dar). Discovery wanted something done for them.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashtanga 0 #15 January 19, 2006 I was impressed with the broadcast. Although it didin't surprise me coming from Greg. Wondering why there was no mention that 3 people on the episode had in fact done this before. Greg, Omar and Troy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #16 January 19, 2006 QuoteWondering why there was no mention that 3 people on the episode had in fact done this before. Greg, Omar and Troy. Because then Discovery Channel couldn't hype it as much. It wouldn't be nearly as cool if they told you, flat out "Oh, these guys have already done it before, we're just having them do it again." Instead, there's the implied tension of "will they or won't they be able to carry out this stunt?" I liked the program. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rogue108 0 #18 January 19, 2006 Dont forget he has Prop to deal with should he overshoot wing. Also hitting a plane in freefall wouldn't be much fun, people hurt enough. Not to mention damaging the plane. I think having the plane in a comfortable relative speed was the goal, regardless of orientation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hexadecimal 0 #19 January 19, 2006 Good Stuff has some plane catching on it... so it wasn't really groundbreaking, but cool to see on the Discovery Channel either way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
