Are there any celebreties that skydive?

I know Andy roddick has just taken it up, and didnt I read somewhere someone refused Tom Cruise a reserve repack?

Anyway, just wondered if anyone else does. I dont mean 1 off tandems or aff (like Gearge Bush Sr), I mean people qualified and turn up every now and again to hurl their heavily insured arses out of a plane.

Oh, anyone know if Simon Thomas (blue peter presenter, probably wont mean anything to you yanks) has returned to complete his AFF after he got really paralysed with fear after 6 AFF jumps.

Yeah see simon thomas at weston every now and again... hes def trying to do his AFF.

Any idea how far he is? Only on the TV special he got to level 3. Lucky bastard gets paid to go to america and then bottle it grr.. (Not dissing him, the fear is not a good thing to have)

Does he have a camera crew around looking like they're gonna make a special on him completing it?

Yeah I think they were planning to do a follow up on him or something.

Apparently he sucks though

Well we all have our sticking points. I did 20 s/l and about 10 3/5s delays.

He'll sort it (I hope).

Andy Roddick was just at my drop zone the other day with his coach. They were both doing tandems . Only one jumper even knew who he was and he told her that he was surprised that no one else recognized him. Pretty funny.

I've also heard that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman each have an A license.

don't know if it counts, but in Empuria there is a german porn actor
these german guys also had a politician.. but he commited suicide (no cypres, no pull) the day his immunities had been suspended...

The secret to life is not arriving at the grave in a well preserved body but sliding in sideways completely worn out yelling "holy crap" what a ride!!!

... Jimmy Oleander of Diamond Rio, I don't know what type of license he has.

Stephen Baldwin and Tom Berenger both got their A licenses while filming "Cutaway." They were published in Parachutists right along with us regluar folks! LOL I don't know if either of them continued with it, but they did well enough that they were able to perform some of their own jumps in the movie.

I cant imagine him doing a jump.

The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S. Thompson

Jimmy Oleander did the same promotion about a year ago at Mile Hi in Longmont, CO.

I've seen Kurt Russell at Perris a few times, years ago, but he wasn't jumping. I sat with him for a bit after he saw me take some students up and he wanted to ask some questions.

It seemed he just liked to watch the action, but he did add, with a smile, "I like it here, you folks are so full of yourselves no one pays any attention to me."

It made me realize the dark side of being a celebrity . . .

I'm sure there are lots of skydiving celebs out there, super active lives need infusions of adrenaline...
