Sadly, he confused himself with 'Twardo:S

Old?!? You aint kidding. Anyone in that pic still able to jump out of a plane without dislocating a hip?:P



At least one of them can, and fly candy cane circles around you until landing dead center where ever the fuck he pleases.;)

No doubt. It would be easy to fly "candy cane circles" around anyone who lands 5 min before they do.:D Ill add, I can also put my canopy wherever I want. It's not rocket surgery.;)

I don't know, I can pretty much put my canopy where I want and I would say it is more like heart science...

To a stand up and no run out in a 5 meter circle? Besides you have a few more jumps than 500+.

No it's more like spotting 'science'...:D


The stick is spotted for crowd presentation of Old Glory who tries to fly an angle for the spectators not to be turning around or looking into the sun yet still remain within the wind parameters...the spinney smokey guy has to access his position and quickly run to another spot while deploying the smoke that will allow for a non-stop 2500' downwind spin that will not interfere with the other jumpers patterns & end up in position for a quick base to final. . . . while ON final using both hands to release & set the hot smoke up for a clean-safe drop during the flare to land.

You are constantly reading your drift, clearing airspace & 'spotting' while spinning down.

It's not 'hard' to do...but it IS easy to do wrong. ;)



The REAL challenge is doing it at night with blinding flares on your feet and spinning down a candy-cane of fireworks...what could POSSIBLY go wrong?! :DB|

That made me think of the story you posted in the scary stories thread about the night pyro jump where you chickened out after the first two lit their pyros.

I was thinking of that too.
If someone can find it and post the link, it would be appreciated!:D
