TomAiello 25 #1 February 25, 2003 Just saw a segment on headline news. How do I get a job as a CNN reporter to get free tunnel time from the army? And now they're talking about giving reporters tandem jumps into combat zones. Yep, I need to work for CNN.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KawiZX900 0 #2 February 25, 2003 you should teach the military how to base jump, theres got to be a tactical application for that i Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

PalmettoTiger 1 #8 February 25, 2003 I'd like to see the segment; does anyone have a copy of it or link for it? I know that CNN has it on their main page right now (near the bottom under 'Video'), but it's subscription-only and I don't have that. If anyone does and has a way to save the video, please share!PTiger I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know i have found that skydivers are a close nit bunch always friendly to others, but i guess you get a bad one here and there. Think about what yo usay before you speek.

Yeah, I agree but some times the line between being funny and having a thick skin gets crossed and the shit just isn't funny. Don't be that one guy at the party who crosses the tasteless joke line."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
