Skydiving spoof on MTV (supposedly)

Recommended Posts

The debut of the MTV show Boiling Points on Monday (jan. 5) is supposed to include a segment they taped at Skydive Jersey Shore this summer. They conned a bunch of people into thinking they got a cheapo skydive and kept upping the ante with outrageous things like duct taping the passenger to the tandem master (one huge guy, by the way - see pic attached.)

Two of the people involved in the spoof wound up making actual skydives later that afternoon. We provided that footage (one of the tandems was shot by me) to MTV. Hopefully, they'll use it to show the fun side of actually getting to jump from planes in addition to the pranks they played on the unsuspecting wuffos.

Boiling Points airs at 4:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. eastern time tomorrow. One of the MTV folks from the show said that'd be the time the skydiving bit aired. I'm sure they'll rerun the show ad nauseum in true MTV fasion over the weekends.
