DSE 5 #1 January 10, 2014 Grant Thompson, a relatively new skydiver, has reached 1 million subscribers on YouTube. He celebrated with a skydive, and you can see it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfINUz-utdg&feature=youtu.be Congrats to Grant! (I'm disappointed all the cake explosion angles weren't included).

ChrisD 0 #2 January 11, 2014 He certainly didn't appear to be "new," what a great site he has and a great vid as well!!! CBut what do I know, "I only have one tandem jump." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tink1717 2 #3 January 11, 2014 Nice cameo... Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #4 January 13, 2014 The cameo was a challenge being that I was also the camera op. Grant was an AFF student a few years ago, went uncurrent over the last two years, racking up a total of 40-odd jumps. Before this jump, he needed to get current again, and do a few training jumps before we/I was comfortable with him wearing a tux, hidden chest strap, etc. Other than being target-challenged (winds were pretty high), he did well. This was shot with a Sony NEX 5, Sony AS 20's, and Replay XD's. A GP3 was used to capture one angle of the cake pop. I wish time/budget had allowed for C/C.
