WatchYourStep 0 #2 July 31, 2006 Naked H&P from 3,000 AGL in 35-45 degree temp on the ground. The clouds weren't lifting and I didn't want to wait any longer. After I landed the 1st thing I did was take the glove off of my hand and put it over my member. "You start off your skydiving career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience.

MotherGoose 0 #6 July 31, 2006 Actually I saw a pic of a hula hoop dive in an old parachutist magazine. It looks like tons of fun but probably requires a good prep and dirt dive and definitely some outside camera. I'll keep that one in mind for sure. The naked jumps are popular too . . . but what if its not a really hot day and you get some shrinkage ???You think you understand the situation, but what you don't understand, is that the situation just changed.

MotherGoose 0 #10 July 31, 2006 Good luck with the Mr. Potato Head jump, it sounds like a hoot. If I wasn't at a Cessna DZ, I'd love to look into a nice pontoon boat jump . . .
