NWFlyer 2 #26 August 4, 2005 QuoteQuoteHow many guys have skydived with wood? That is one of the earliest traditions in skydiving - the very first two-way formation dive was completed by the passing of a wooden baton in freefall! One of those detachable ones? Like in that song? Cool!"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.

FlankSteak 0 #28 August 4, 2005 I know a couple that were doing it on a 727 jet infront of a 198 of their closest friends and they wanted to continue in the air, but to no avail - the guy went from solid wood to a water-logged Oscar Meyer hot dog.

jasonRose 0 #40 August 4, 2005 QuoteQuoteOk this might be a little off the wall but I am asking anyways. How many guys have skydived with wood? Fifth point of connection ring a bell? Blues, Dave Oh how I envy you Dave.. Some day I will get my tandem rating and apply my fifth point of attachment. Although having your wood buried throughout the skydive isn't the same as having the FF wind caress your tent pole. Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!
