Ever assemble a Mr. Potato head in freefall?

Recommended Posts

I did for my 100th jump!

Ok, so I did it like, 2 months ago, but I just now got the video online :D So I thought I'd share.

I held the potato head the whole time- we didn't get it fully assembled -only 1 ear, a nose (which if you watch closely ends up falling off), and the eyes. We also lost an ear :)

Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz)

No clouds were harmed in the making of this video.



Pssssstt.......Spence....those weren't clouds. It was "industrial haze." Don't you know that we skydivers would NEVER[/B] purposely fall through clouds? :)

I remember thinking while Scott was telling me the story was how the fuck you guys could manage such precision during freefall.

as you can see... there was no real precision involved... :D:D

You've started something. When people ask what to do for their 100th jump, the new answer will be.

"Assemble a Mr Potato Head"

Want to bet that there will be several skdydivers buying Mr Potato Heads in the next couple days?

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing and listen as heaven whispers, "Do you like it? I did it just for you."

Actually, she didn't start it. There was a Mr. Potato Head contest at the Team Funnel Memorial Day boogie at SDC at least 3 years ago. I'm not sure if it was a Team Funnel invention or where they got the idea from, but there were some really great videos.

I remember seeing this at WFFC 02 if you want to go even further back :P

It was a lot of fun, even if I did get my air stolen a few times. Seeing some of the smiles on the jump reminds me about how much fun this sport can have. :)

Hey there,

I did it for my 100th, too!! Thanks for the advice on that, Daizy! :) We got 2 pieces in, and I landed with the eyes still in! :)
Here's the video of mine (including my spectacular funnel, oh well nobody's perfect. ;))
