  1. Pretty cool didn't know it was you.Those were some amazing times. 10 Man Speed- No Show Exits
  2. Nick Lucas was a good friend.I haven't heard his name in a long time.I think of him now & then.The jump he died he was replacing me on a jump because I had been hurt the dive before. A friend & I drove his ashes to Michigan.He was a good guy & a fast diver. 10 Man Speed- No Show Exits
  3. Roger was a friend who I think about often.I remember being in the clouds & in the dark skydiving High with both Carl & Roger. Drawing straws on El Cap with Roger & Jim Handbury to see who went first.When we got down I found out all my things were stolen including money. Roger bought me clothes.food.& gave me money.The kind of person he was.I hope I fly with him in heaven. Bobby Gray 10 Man Speed- No Show Exits
  4. I can't believe i just saw that video.Thank you! I was under tht dactyl. You could land pretty soft if you timed a low turn. If you were wrong in your timing it was really hard. Stalls added fun to the boring ride down, 10 Man Speed- No Show Exits

  7. Bill Hi! Its Bobby. I have a picture of me making the first hand deploy jump & a picture of a 3 ring test jump that Andy Keech took. I didnt always have an extra reserve backup, It was a beautiful time in American history when Insurance comp. & lawyers were pretty much minding there own business.
