outlawphx 1 #1 April 20, 2006 Anyone else see the "freefly schurken" video on SkydiveMovies.com? About 50 seconds into the video there is first person video of someone riding a spinning main with major line twists into some trees. Talk about someone having a guardian angel! A few hundred feet in another direction they would've landed in a field or on the runway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squeak 17 #6 April 21, 2006 that was very cool how'd they get on top of the Box?You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob.dino 1 #7 April 21, 2006 Quotehow'd they get on top of the Box? There's a ditching hatch above the right seat of some Skyvans. If it's removed you could climb up and out onto the roof. Of course, it's in front of the props, so you really don't want to slip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkwing 5 #12 April 22, 2006 Great, more stupid people tricks for the unskilled to try because it looked easy on the video. I can hardly wait. Of course that is not to say that they weren't fun to watch, and maybe even do. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy_Copland 0 #13 April 22, 2006 Big video but well worth watching. http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=3648&string=breaking%20thru At the end some fella rides a spinning mal down to a fucking silly altitude because he cant find his cut away. He only looks a couple of hundred feet up when he pulls his reserve and apparently he walked away from it, amazingly scarey.1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

Rooky 0 #14 April 22, 2006 QuoteGreat, more stupid people tricks for the unskilled to try because it looked easy on the video. I can hardly wait. right! I would recommend watching the end section of the break thru video, Andy mentioned, after that. the guy with the black canopy was quiet scary. But the most educational part is the "messing with PC in tow" (at the very end) part including cypress fire, little main-reserve entanglement and many swear words. much more impressive, than cool looking stunts. at least for me.

mdrejhon 8 #16 April 23, 2006 QuoteHere is the video, by the way. Nothing like riding to altitude on top of the plane.DAMN! I said "F***ING crazy skydivers" several times during this one. Definitely a keeper among my favourite "crazy" vids that I save to my laptop. (VX39 landing, catapult BASE, rocket birdman, Flying wingsuit 6 feet above ski slope (Loic Jean), etc.) Stuff I'd never do. Safe jumps please... Don't get killed! That spinning linetwists into the trees was definitely shocking. (In fact, I believe a copy of that should be edited out and saved to the mals area!) Obviously, some of these videos set a bad example but I just simply have to save them to disk for my laptop! The big video (breaking_thru.wmv) is a great one, more balanced too. Landing spinning linetwists is something I never want to do. (I yelled at the video, cut away, cut away, cut away...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
