IslandGirl2005 0 #1 March 27, 2007 Thank you Vegard for the chuckle. After the last couple of weeks I wish I was there with ya in the intersection!Skydiver accused of mooning Fla. cop DeLAND, Fla. -- - A visiting Norwegian skydiver was arrested after exposing his buttocks to an officer, police said. Vegard Svarstad, 24, of Norway, was blocking traffic at an intersection early Saturday morning, according to an arrest report. When DeLand police Lt. David Heinig stopped at the intersection, he told Svarstad to continue across the street, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported. Instead, the man started to dance around, pulled down his pants and mooned the officer, Heinig said. Svarstad was charged with disorderly intoxication and taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail on a $250 bond. At a first-appearance hearing later Saturday, Svarstad said he was preparing to return to Norway. Prosecutors decided that his night in jail was sufficient punishment, a State Attorney's spokeswoman said. They dropped the charge and released him."When you have tasted flight, you will always walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward; for there you have been and there you will always be."

Anyway, I was glad for the laugh!"When you have tasted flight, you will always walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward; for there you have been and there you will always be."

pinkfairy 0 #5 March 27, 2007 http://www.news-journalonline.com/NewsJournalOnline/News/Local/newWEST02032707.htm There. Proper link in proper forum! These two weeks there's two training camps for norwegian skydivers in Deland Fl. One is for freeflyers and one is for FS jumpers. I'm only guessing this is a freeflyer. We are also informed on the norwegian forum that the name should not be revealed to "protect the parents". I was just inches from posting this link there. Well, I hope they don't read this forum, then. And of course, as there was neither video nor fine, it didn't really happen. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
