wildWilly 0 #2 April 10, 2009 that's 1 jump every 2 minutes. Good luck, but I have my doubts. Willygrowing old is inevitable, growing up is optional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millertime24 8 #3 April 10, 2009 At about 30 jumps per hour? Thats 2min per jump. I dont see how this is even possible.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fmmobley 0 #4 April 10, 2009 Jay Stokes did 642 skydives in 24 hours and in an interview he said 700 was possible. I wish I lived in Denver and could come watch.... Marion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

camero 0 #8 April 10, 2009 The altitude in Parachutist says 2100AGL. Can someone do the math on the last record? I have to go to work ahora mismo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NealFitz 0 #9 April 10, 2009 Theres a vid on the net somewhere it must be on the skydivingmovies website. i have seen it. they did an article about the previous record in the BPA Skydive the Mag in 2007 i think. he used a combination of porters and 37 rigs to do it. the literal time between getting out of one harness and into another was like 15 secondsDudeist Skydiver #170 You do not need a parachute to skydive, you only need one to skydive again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

regulator 0 #13 April 10, 2009 Are you referring to Kenyon Salo? I think his exit altitude is 2,100 ft. 30 Jumps an hour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeregrineFalcon 0 #14 April 11, 2009 I'm wondering what the actual effort vs people who give a shit ratio is. Of course, if it's worth it to him, I guess he should do it. However, I can see people saying, "Oh, that's cool," and then forgetting about it a minute later. What was I talking about? I forget. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't take the harness off; just attach a new parachute and go. Does the record require that gear-up be done on the ground, or may it be done in the plane on the way up?

I'd imagine the give a shit factor is quite high among all the people at the Wounded Warrior Foundation and the Special Olympics who benefited from the fund raising associated with the previous efforts."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

However, I can see people saying, "Oh, that's cool," and then forgetting about it a minute later. What was I talking about? I forget. I just know everytime I see Jay Stokes at the DZ I cant help but think about what an amazing thing he accomplished with those 641 jumps. If I make 641 jumps in 3 years I will be totally stoked, but in 1 day??? most I have done is 7, and I felt proud of that. I am pretty sure the list of people that can accomplish something like that is pretty short. Its actually almost unbelievable when you think about it...so I guess you could say I give a shit!"Tell ya the truth, I don't think this is a brains kind of operation."

LongWayToFall 0 #20 April 11, 2009 I was thinking, in the future the only way to beat this record will involve jumping over a canyon, with the airport right on the rim. The plane could just gain a little bit of altitude while it flies over the middle of the canyon, but the depth of the canyon would allow 2000ft agl. If the jumper didn't have a malfunction, he could just fly right back to the runway, or if he had to cutaway he could land in the bottom of the canyon. Good luck on getting 700!

I guess I don't have my "A" yet.(I'm lazy) but I can recogonize an incredible feat. I dont think a real peregrine falcone would think this was something to forget or not recognize.

They only used the Porter during one or two fuel stops because they quickly concluded that it was too slow. Mind you, any 17 seat airplane (PAC 750) with only two skydivers (Jay plus a gear-checker) on board would climb like a raped ape!
