SivaGanesha 2 #28 April 7, 2008 QuoteThe JOES (over 80s) set a new record on Wednesday, with a 5-way. The JOS (over 70s) did a 12 way. The SOS have their turn today. Not that I'm likely to ever qualify for such a load myself--but are there any records in the opposite direction--for skydivers under a certain age? Given the common legal restrictions on skydiving under a certain age, the costs of the sport often being prohibitive for young jumpers, and the time it takes to learn the sport--it would seem to me that a bigway with all skydivers under a certain age would be just as impressive as these JOES, JOS, and SOS jumps. Are there any known records for the largest bigway with everyone under 25? under 20?"It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #29 April 7, 2008 Quote Quote FOFS (freeflyers over 50's) Are there any? at the POPS World Meet in Switzerland a couple of years ago I was lucky to film a couple of RW teams who, in my opinion, invented VRW (while trying to Flat RW) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spurgeon 0 #33 April 17, 2008 For the SOS records, you'll have to wait for the magazines. None of us can remember that many names at once... We're gonna be in Deland in January. I seem to remember you might be old enough. Come join us. These guys are *really* fun to hang out with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
