Did Survivor host Jeff Probst skydive?
xtreme replied to BobWright's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Yes! The skydive sequence was filmed at Skydive Elsinore. Jeff Probst showed up here on a Monday (for the first jump course AFF Level 1) with the mission to be "freefall filmable" by Friday. Jeff did an outstanding job throughout his training making his instructors' jobs a piece of cake as well as a pleasant experience for the entire staff at Skydive Elsinore. All the skydiving footage you saw of Jeff was actually Jeff! Yes he does his own stunts! A special thanks goes out to CBS, Survivor, and Jeff Probst for allowing us to be a part of such an incredible show. Skydive Elsinore 877-THE-JUMP -

Skydive Elsinore Fire Update: As posted yesterday morning; Skydive Elsinore’s packing room, video room, gear storage, and instructor room sustained a complete and devastating loss in a fire. The entire drop zones tandem rigs, student rigs, video equipment, radio equipment, etc. went up in flames. Along with drop zones equipment, all of the instructor’s personal equipment including: rigs, helmets, cameras, jumpsuits, camera helmets, computer accessories, and personal items were additionally lost. The outpouring of assistance that came forth via emails and phone calls within hours from across the nation were unparalleled and emotionally moving. I would like to personally thank; Jack Guthrie and Debbie Zimmerman, Larry Pennington, Missy Nelson, Paul Fayard, Jay Stokes, Dan BC, Phil & Debbie Chappel, Derek Thomas, James at Skydive Paradise, and so many others have generously offered student and tandem equipment in an effort to help us keep our student operations up and running. The real gravity and shock set in at approximately 8:00am Sunday morning when all of our instructors and staff came into work. The look in their eyes and emotions of the realization of a total loss, was one that nobody could hide. Everyone’s personal equipment, (tool’s of the trade) that they use to earn a living and support their families were totally lost; this is the real tragedy! The outpouring of offers and generosity from the brotherhood of skydiving to help the instructors get back in the air has been awe-inspiring; we thank each and everyone for your generosity for every jumpsuit, altimeter, rig and helmet donated to keep everyone in the air! I now make a plea to the skydiving industry to help out the instructors! This is what is needed and how you can help! #1- Money: An account has been set up on Pay Pal in which financial donations can be made. 100% of the money in which you donate will go directly and distributed to the instructors in an effort to purchase new equipment. This is what is needed most! Ø Go to www.paypal.com and set up an account. Then you make direct donations to the following account # Elsinoreappeal@hotmail.com #2- If you would like to donate gear for the purpose of resale or replacement. Please send equipment and note to: Ground Zero 20701 Cereal Rd. Lake Elsinore, CA. 92530 C/O: Fire Loss #3- Fortunately, the local community has stepped up and have loaned enough equipment that will enable the instructors to get back in the air; therefore, please do not send equipment for loan at this time. Thank you in advance for everyone’s support! John Hamilton Skydive Elsinore
