skyjumpenfool 2 #1 February 1, 2009 What do you get when you cross several diehard jumpers, a helicopter, and a frozen Minnesota lake?? Yes, this is where Grumpy Old Men was filmed! A very healthy group of skydivers came from all around to participate in this year's Frozen Helicopter Boogie held near Center City, MN. And no, the dog pictured (Smidge) did not jump today. However, she does have several skydives and is expected to apply for her A licence latter this year. Post your helicopter boogie photos below...Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #3 February 1, 2009 Short sleeves and no gloves when there's snow on the ground? You people are crazy! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyjumpenfool 2 #6 February 2, 2009 QuoteQuoteIt was warm out on Saturday, almost made it to 40! Well, then how safe was the ice? It's been below 0 here for a couple of months now. The ice is probly close to 3ft. thick. It'll take a couple months of above average weather to melt the ice. We have plowed two lane hiways on our lakes in the winter. We can usually drive our cars on the lakes well into March. As for more pics... Poker game at my house this Saturday, Stop by and I'll put all the pics on a disc for you. PM for address. Below... #1 lots of great woofos getting a positive look at our sport. #2 Really cool 2WD Motorcyle with studed tires. #3 Joe sliding in another tandem student. # 4 The infamous "Super Dave" takes on a snow bank.Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Last week there was a group that loaded a house, yes a house, on a semi trailer. That house was located on an island in Whitebear Lake (I think it was WBL) and moved the house from the island to the shore...I think we got some thick ice here right now!
