Whats the craziest thing you have done in freefall

Recommended Posts

Topless dive with a friend and my b/f. There is video, but it'll cost ya to watch it!
There usedta be pics too, but some punks in Paso Robles, California got those when they stole my bag full of skydiving equipment. Tip - if it's really important don't keep it in your logbook.
pull and flare,
lisa

its a cool dive up to twelve people link up in rows of 3
arms linked and holding the leg staps of person in front of you
the muff bros do it out of the casa you exit and hold on
the formation(if you want to call it that)does some crazy stuff
till it comes apart(our exit was on the 2001 quincy vid!)

We did that same thing at Lost Prairie this year out of the SkyVan. We were the last group out and the exit takes a tiny bit longer than a regular jump and we heard a voice screaming "GO! GO!" and we thought it was our guy keying the exit and it was too soon....here it was the pilot.....there was too much weight at the back of the plane and it was going to put it into a stall. oops! :$
Another fun jump was when we were in full snorkel gear, water wings and bathing suits and launched an inflatable shark out of the 182. I have attached a pic of that.... :)Tee

Craziest? I dunno I have alot of naked jumps, bikine jumps, topless, you catch my drift I think I passed up 20 when it comes to naked jumps. Although one of the radest jumps I was in a naked 29 with my buddy and we had a kiss pass in the middle of it before we let go and went into a sit only to see an awesome sunset over skydive elsinore.

BITE ME.... :P

Let's see -
Six way rodeo, with three guys in a round and three women on our backs
The nude dive where we landed three miles from Quincy
A Mr. Bill where we exited, Sluggo opened, and I rappelled down to the end of a rope while he flew in circles (not really freefall, I guess)
A lot of very funny AFF's. I remember one where, at pull time, he just started waving and wouldn't stop. Later he told me "I was waving you off but you didn't leave!" Another one where Carmen and I had Christine, a waitress, for a Level I and for some reason none of us could stop laughing the whole way down. First student I ever had who was laughing as she got in the door.
"Collection dives" at Quincy where I would take three low-time jumpers, we'd launch the exit, release to go to the second point, then I'd fly around and collect everyone and bring them back to the formation. We got three points that way once.

BWAHAHA! That might have been me! In the video of my first AFF, you see me wave off , look back & forth at my JMs, then wave off again more emphatically. I somehow had it fixed in my head that they were supposed to LEAVE when I wave off! After all, isn't that the whole idea?:D
My right JM just pulled the ripcord. But they understood that I was ready & able to pull, so they passed me.
BTW, what's a Mr. Bill?

Ok, I'm feeling left out, so I'm going to post more then once ;)
The ever so loved pumpkin jump (jump #30 for me)
Rodeo dive, on someone who didn't expect if coming (flying ferret)
Launched a 2-way @ 4k with Flying Ferret too (I know that's not *that* cool, but that was like jump number 22 for me...)
I am envious, though. I've never had a kiss pass and haven't done a naked jump (probably to the relief of everyone I know :D). Haven't done any of the other cool things like the magic carpet ride or a Mr. Bill or anything either. That's ok, there's still time. :)Ok, who wants to do a naked kiss pass? ;)

"what's a Mr. Bill?"
Do a search and you shall find it my son. Basically...One person hangs onto another while you deploy. Then ride the one chute for a bit.....then into free fall for sluggo again. Got to watch one at the Free Flight festival...very cool!

Actually Sluggo drops Mr. Bill. (Remember the old Saturday Night Live skits? It's always Mr. Bill that gets crushed or blown to bits or set on fire by Sluggo.)
