Hell, I had forgotten about that. But now that you mention it, the pictures/vid grabs should be here on DZ.com in the picture gallery. Greg Gasson shot the video, he may still have it, don't think it made its way on SDM though. That jump was planned to start/exit as a rodeo then have the rider get off and then get back on, we did it. That was a fun jump.EDIT: They are still there under Eloy Boogie 03 as Birdman RW"It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #30 May 29, 2009 Scott and Betsy did some cool freestyle/birdie rodeo, fly, re-rodeo shit back in around 2003 at Eloy out of the SkyVan. I was on the plane when they launched. Otherwise, we had, two years previously (when Scott was still stationed in VA) done upside-down rodeos and double-upside-down rodeo jumps (actually hanging from both birdie's chest straps) at Raeford in 2001/2002. Fun, but definitely not original. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote And I know there is an old video on skydivingmovies (I think Sweden?) with a guy in a green/silver wingsuit doing some midflight (wingsuit/freefall) hookups. Always fun seeing some of the 'classics' again. I think I still have (like a lot of people probably) this one, and many other 'old' wingsuit videos downloaded and burnt onto VCD somewhere in a dusty cabinet somewhere...I used to watch this stuff over and over again (still do actually...)JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

kevin922 0 #33 May 31, 2009 Yeah me and Nate Tucker were doing that back in ~2004ish.. to get off we'd have the guy on bottom just close up his wings and the guy on top would just fly off. Also for the actual initial transition flying over top as opposed to sliding in worked a lot better too. Its fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
