kimemerson 7 #3 March 7, 2008 looks a lot like GWB. (That's George Washington Bridge, and not the current White House occupant). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #4 March 7, 2008 Quotelooks a lot like GWB. (That's George Washington Bridge, and not the current White House occupant). Yes I'd agree. I've driven over that bridge a few times. Can't be absolutely positive though. There were two guys who did a CRW stack and one rotation OFF the New River Gorge bridge in WV. They were from South Carolina, and I've done CRW with them. Can't quite remember their names right now as it's been at least 10 years since I saw them.

CFPasi 0 #5 March 7, 2008 I belive that the first bridge CRW was done in 1983. "The first BASE CRW jump was done on Bridge Day in October at the New River George Bridge in WV." www.skydivehame.com/cf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"The first BASE CRW jump was done on Bridge Day in October at the New River George Bridge in WV." www.skydivehame.com/cf I just remembered the name of one of the CRW participants in the jump I referenced - Burke Fitzpatrick. I believe he did it in the 90's, but not the first one to do it as your reference shows."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3331 137 #11 March 8, 2008 I saw Terry O'Malley and his son in 2005 at the HERD summer get together at a farm in Pennsylvania, he hadn't jumped for a while. I jumped with Bill Kowalski in 2002 and 2003 in West Point Virginia and Gardiner New York. I miss the Jumpstreet gang, they were good at what they did, always friendly and coached anyone that wanted to learn canopy RW---for free.I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

CReWLL 0 #16 March 20, 2008 It seems strange that you think those guys put together a 4 stack in about 10 feet. It looks like they are flying past the bridge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardwhite 6 #17 March 20, 2008 QuoteIt seems strange that you think those guys put together a 4 stack in about 10 feet. It looks like they are flying past the bridge. I didn't think that. I thought they jumped out of an airplane and flew their stack past the bridge. Perhaps my title suggested otherwise. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
