Sled14 0 #1 December 15, 2005 Did anyone see the commercial for the new season of True Life? From what I saw they have an episode documenting skydivers. Anyone know anything about this, like where it took place and if it features anyone on here? It didnt say when it would be on but this season so not too far away. Looking forward to it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites brits17 0 #2 December 15, 2005 Hah, interesting. They were going to document BASE, then I assume it fell through b/c it wasn't as convenient and less mainstream. I'd be interested to see how the skydiving is portrayed. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites flyinghonu 0 #3 December 15, 2005 A couple months ago there was some filming going on at Skydive San Diego - a chick doing her first tandem. I asked around and was told that it was MTV filming her. Looked more like two dudes with a hand held but who knows maybe that was it.

Yeah, I had talked to them several times. They had plans on filming me. They were going to come out to the Potato Bridge with me earlier this year. I called them back one time but I never heard from them again. That was fine with me because I had changed my mind about wanting to be on TV anyway. I can tell you they would've had a good show if they came! That's the trip I ended up breaking my femur and needed a hip replacement. They also missed all the fun contraptions and silly testing we did in Tom's backyard.

In the end after my trip I called and left a message with the woman I had spoken to several times previously. I told her I thought it was really unprofessional of them to just not call back and then told her the story of the great things they missed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Sheenster303 0 #7 December 15, 2005 From what I know, they follow Gunnar Jeannette who is/was? an ASC jumper and also a race car driver. They show him skydiving at ASC and then taking a trip to go base jumping with some of the staff from ASC.I'm so funny I crack my head open!
