BASE?



Not technically "sky"divers... but yeah I could have included that...

Then again, I DID list Ground Launchers... :S oh well...

I believe that's Greg Gasson, and he actually has a safety harness mostly hidden under his jumpsuit. ;)

Not sure if I covered most disciplines, but this is a good start. :P

Yah! CRW Dogs Rule! So far! :P



I mean no disrespect to those who have been injured or lost their lives, but it's the ones in the hospital.

If someone pulls a really badass stunt and gets away with it, then they are a really badass expert.

If someone pulls a really badass stunt, fucks up and gets spanked, they were crazy.

The deaf ones.











(not really, there are a few blind skydivers that probably fit the category quite well)



The blind ones take a back seat to NO ONE, as far as I'm concerned... ;) :D Oops, I missed that sentence at the bottom! :$

I second that!

Walt



I third that! :D

I remember him trying to strip the bra off a DD cupped girl sitting in front on a raft dive at Quincy, 1997 while he was one of the dudes hanging on the raft... Only he could probably get away with THAT! :D

Scotty is one crazy MF, but one of the best skydivers I have ever jumped with and for sure the best cook!

Walt



Yup... I have been his wingman on quite a few big ways and he's real picky about how people take grips on him... ;)

His food is legendary, and usually worth the price.

Edited to add: He has a picture from years ago, of a specialty big way skydive he organized. It was probably about a 20 way, with the skydivers forming the shape of an erect dick with two balls, and timed perfectly with the one skydiver at the very tip of the dick just deploying his parachute! You get the idea? :D:D:D:D:D I laughed my ass off when I saw it...

Test Jumpers.
Like the ones in the video BreakAway.(just 1 example, military test jumper as well)

They go through all that gear set-up just to help
others see what it looks like, so we can decide what we may/should do if/when it happens to us.

My buddy Travis did exactly that skydive at Lost Prairie a few years ago for his 1000th. Of course he was the tip of the head. ;)

I take it that you are talking about the actual discipline rather than after the beer light goes on:P

This would make a good poll - "who are the craziest skydivers once the beer light goes on"

The Base jumpers would not be crazy at all as they have to stay sober so they can do their midnight flits to shush shush jump objects...

It is an annual Zhills tradition. We did it last winter again. We call it the "Christmas Candle" jump.

"Dirt dive for the CC jump" sounds better over the loudspeakers than "...cock and balls jump". :D All the jumpers know what you are talking about.

Tony Hathaway has some very funny video of it.
:D
