BigM 2 #1 July 21, 2003 OK kiddies... I am not far from doing my 500th jump. I am soliciting any good ideas for a nice (and maybe unusual) jump to do on it... something that will make good video. I have some ideas but I thought I would tap the vast resources of the masses here! I am not positive but I think it will be out of a King Air, but possibly an Otter. One last note... I would like something with a good chance for success! Blue 111 and thanks in advance. All appropriate credit will be given for the "winning" dirt dive!

jmpnkramer 0 #5 July 21, 2003 Good Picture goto Sebastian or Titusville for the ground scenery as a background for the dive. As far as the dive well? you need some decent people to make anything work and even that is not a guarantee. Good Luck Big Guy. Laters, KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

darkwing 5 #6 July 21, 2003 I organized a mystery dive for my 2000th, and also a buddies 2,000th. Design the dive and the exit, but don't let anyone know what it is, other than telling each person privately who they dock on and how. For example, tell Dave that he does a left side-body dock on Tim. I was the base and was the only one who knew the entire dive. The dirt dive consists only of the exit line up and count. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guy jumped solo with the magazine in his hands._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

juanesky 0 #11 July 23, 2003 Why don't you try an 8 way double link tube dive, I have have success with them all the time, and after 15-20 sec (maybe not lower than 9K), you get a cue so you can start a magic carpet ride....... Anyways, have fun on your 500!
