Decibel 0 #1 May 25, 2004 Myself and a fellow jumper are soon to hit the magic 100. Somehow, aside from doing our 100th jumps together, the idea came up to do it naked. She's much slower than I am, so we're planning on doing some kind of hybrid. We're planning on doing a practice jump or two with me in shorts & tshirt and her in her new spandex suit. Any advice? (Other than don't do it, which I can understand where I'm concerned... ;P) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 May 25, 2004 I've done a couple nekid jumps, so here's some nice advice. 1. If you're doing a hybrid, don't be a hanger, its hurts, trust me. 2. Wear a pair of "tear away" track pants over your rig in the plane, before exit, rip them off and stow them (or give them to the pilot). 3. Rubberband a pair of running shorts to your chest strap, helps with the walk back to the hanger if you're shy. Or if you're like me, you just walk back to the hanger butt nekid with a big smile are your face. As for the fallrate thing...fuckit, launch a rodeo out the door, that'd make for a funny jump and good video.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I was thinking about wearing a towel under the harness but the tear-away pants sound like a much safer and better idea. 3) Screw the shorts! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #4 May 25, 2004 Might I recommend a nice standup landing.. somehow.. a buttslide does not sound very appealing... when au natural. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 140 #6 May 25, 2004 go for Aggiedaves number3 and also for Amazon's recommendation... And dont forget the video. I was wearing shorts on top of my legstraps and a shirt "the wrong way round", took them off at 9000ft. if there's a thermometer in the plane, just have a look before exit... and ENJOY !!!!scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meltdown 0 #7 May 25, 2004 Dude, I would think you'll fall pretty fast nekkid. Please warn me so I can take myself off of that load. I wanna see you land in the corn field nekkid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoostedXT 0 #8 May 25, 2004 The advice of dave is awesome. Take the track pants, and then a pair of shorts in the chest strap. In regards to the fallrate issues.....might I suggest what is above about the rodeo, but how about a reverse rodeo? Oh yeah video.

happythoughts 0 #10 May 25, 2004 If anyone has nipple piercings, put duct tape over them. The chest strap may grab them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #11 May 25, 2004 Decibel, i know you both. I would suggest that you guys launch a rodeo with her on your back. Any of the HD flyers could keep up with you guys no problem Let manifest know, so that we can put the tandems out first then go on up, we don't want to scare them. QuoteIf anyone has nipple piercings, put duct tape over them. The chest strap may grab them. She does but they are bars not rings so no worries there. One last thing, I WILL NOT shoot video of that jump for you guys. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flypunk 0 #13 May 25, 2004 I beg to differ on that one dude, I have bars and they do get caught in the harness, put sports bandaids or duct tape over them. One hard opening is all you need to come down bleeding. ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decibel 0 #15 May 25, 2004 QuoteIf anyone has nipple piercings, put duct tape over them. The chest strap may grab them. Actually, I believe they are rings. We already have one person at the DZ who now sports a 'gimple', we don't need any more; I'm pretty sure she'll be taking them out or taping them.

Yes, should happen Saturday; probably in the morning. I'm at 97 jumps and Kim's planning on matching that Friday, so we should have 2 practice jumps before our 100th.

If you don't do the jump naked, it's just not the same. At our DZ if you go nude, it's the whole ride. Normally it's the whole load and the rule is that the pilot has to fly nude too! And who needs shorts when you've got that big ZP toga?illegible usually Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfishhunter 2 #20 May 25, 2004 Good Thread. I am trying to get the DZO here to Fly on Thursday so I can jump Nekkid on my Birthday! He told me to call him tomorrow and he will give me his decision. The rig I jump has a ROL Pouch so I am planning to just put my shorts in there. One thing no one has adressed is indecent exposure laws. Anyone ever get reported for flying around nekkid? MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose.

goose491 0 #21 May 25, 2004 Quote3) Screw the shorts! :) Naw man, dont screw the shorts!!! Bring 'em! Leave 'em taped/elastic-ed to your chest strap if you're not shy but do indeed bring 'em... both of you. You may not be shy at the DZ but you'll be trying real hard to make a designer coat out of your main if you have an out landing and have to walk a while back Have fun!

(Other than don't do it, which I can understand where I'm concerned... ;P) Decibel, In case nobody has covered the DZ policy on naked skydives with the two of you, it has to be the first or last load of the day. Also, I'm sure management won't want you to be naked around any tandem students, so plan on taking shorts or something that you can take off in the plane after the tandems get out. Since there are often families on the DZ during daylight hours, I strongly suggest taking a pair of shorts or something else to put on after you land, and I suggest landing down at the end of the runway where you won't cause too much of a scene. Those are just a few variables to keep in mind. If there aren't any students or families around, I'm sure you'll have a free hand to do whatever you want.
