Ron 7 #51 March 28, 2006 QuoteYa know what? The more I think about this, the more I realize I shouldn't be so overly critical. Heck, on jump 999 I put two 55 gallon drums out in the landing area about five feet apart and tried to swoop downwind between them. I turned too low and crashed into the ground, resulting in not jumping for a month. I guess it was all part of the learning experience and made me the more safe swooper I am today. I think you understand where I am coming from now. I would not consider what you did stupid either....It was a mistake based on the outcome, but not stupid. Now if a guy with 100 jumps and a new pocket rocket canopy tried it...well that would be stupid. But a guy with almost 1000 jumps..Not so much. QuoteCan I have a hug Ron? Uh....no.

Ummm..... putting 55 gallon STEEL drums in the middle of a landing area 5 feet apart and trying to swoop between them is stupid. I wonder why they dont use steel drums for the canopy swooping tour?

I wonder why they dont use steel drums for the canopy swooping tour? I have used trees. I'm sure others have as well. While maybe not the smartest move around, its not IMO "dumb".
