Chivo 0 #1 December 30, 2002 Two of them and they kicked azz! Three of my skydiving friends and myself got together in Elsinore yesterday. Yep, it was our load... the four of us in the helicopter. Jeanne was on the step while David, Pier and I hung from it. WOW! I loved it! Just wished it could've been @ 13k. Now I can't wait to do a balloon jump! Later, Chivo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 December 30, 2002 Skydiverbrian, kevin922 and I all did one on Saturday in Sebastian. We loved it too! Kevin said he'd upload the video after he returned home from his trip to FL. And, by a stroke of luck, I appear on the video the most!

skycop 0 #7 December 30, 2002 What kind of helicopter was it? Did you do a hover jump? Those are WAY cool!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shark 0 #8 December 30, 2002 It was a Eurocopter AS350B A-Star. We got 4.9 in a hover, depending on the uppers... Launched a 2 way with grasshopper, his 2nd helo jump of the day. Yep, it was well worth the 40 bones. I jumped a Jet Ranger earlier in the year and that was $45, and we launched a 4 way from 2800 and we were hovering in the base of the clouds.

skycop 0 #12 December 30, 2002 Cool video, I recognize most of those dudes and dudettes. I think Kenny is especially ugly, mainly because he makes alot of donut jokes in my presence!!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #13 December 30, 2002 Quote Now that was an awsome video Why thank you......the last part of the video is mine. That was my feet, Sunshine, and Rob (Rhino) in frame. I guess Wildblue left to early for me to have him in frame. What fun!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #14 December 31, 2002 The first jump is an all SGC load and the second one is half SGC and the other half DZ.commers.

lippy 918 #15 December 31, 2002 That video RAHCKS!!!!!!! My chopper flight wasn't nearly as fun...Or scary. Was that the Hollywood stunt pilot I've heard of?I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cepheus 0 #16 December 31, 2002 MAN that looks like a lot of fun!-- Skydive -- testing gravity, one jump at a time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #17 December 31, 2002 QuoteWas that the Hollywood stunt pilot I've heard of That's Rod Tinney.(SP?) He has flown every year since the beginning of time at WFFC. Best chopper ride you'll get as a civilian and pretty close to anything I have ever done in the military. I guess he used to be a test pilot fo Bell before he went into business for himself. The Bell 412 is certainly a staple of the WFFC and I hope he returns for MANY years to come. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycop 0 #18 December 31, 2002 I'm thinking about traveling to GA this weekend for the helo jumps however, I read the reviews on the DZ and they got slammed pretty good by several people. I'm no student, but the bad vibes have me concerned. Can anyone shed any light on this, do they treat experienced jumpers from out of town well? It's a long drive and I don't want to travel all that way and find out the DZ sucks! I can't control the weather, but I can control where I spend my hard earned bucks!

freeflir29 0 #19 December 31, 2002 QuoteCan anyone shed any light on this I'll be as impartial as I can......If you are an experienced jumper, with your own gear, travelling there for a special event with friends, and can take care of yourself......you'll be fine. I'm sure you will have fun. There are SOME right nice people I know that jump there. I refuse to go there because of their business and personal ethics. The almighty $ comes #1 there, with little regard to anything else. That's about as fair and unbiased as I can be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akaGQ 0 #20 December 31, 2002 Id still have to agree with clay. They do hold the $ at higher regards than anything else and its true that if you dont have your own gear you may as well hang it up. But I went once and there are some good people there just like you find at every DZ and there are some that are real dicks but youll find that anywhere you go. But anyhow Im off to bed.- GQ ... it was the love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty ... -Charles Lindberg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
