Have you had a chance to try the beginner board yet? --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites kevin922 0 #4 January 23, 2003 QuoteHey Monarch, I recall you were interested in sky surfing. Have you had a chance to try the beginner board yet? I thought about skysurfing once.. i actually did the interview with Troy hartman a while back, and try and keep in touch with him - i feel troy is a great skysurfer. I personally feel skysurfing was a neat accomplishment however it is just too dangerous. when the professionals at it stop doing it because they feel it is too dangerous, that must say something. Be careful if you get into it...

Have you seen some of the stunts he pulled for MTV??? I'm stunned. --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites kevin922 0 #6 January 23, 2003 QuoteTroy told you specifically that he quit sky surfing because it was too dangerous? Have you seen some of the stunts he pulled for MTV??? I'm stunned. Yes he told me specifically he quit because it was dangerous and because it was an inconvenience for other jumpers in the airplane.. Yes i've seen the stunts he pulled for MTV you can read the interview here we talked about some of them.

No, I didn't know him, but I have one of the tapes that Joe Jennings made in rememberance of him. I watch that video all the time. He was so awesome! Wow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DivaSkyChick 0 #8 January 23, 2003 I read that, saw where he bemoaned putting on the board in the plane (it does suck) but said he loved sky surfing... I can only think of two sky surfers that died actually while sky surfing. Specifically, Jerry and a guy in England last year or so. Do you know of more? Thanks, this is really interesting to me (obviously!)

I can still remember watching the X-Games and the commentator that was in the plain asked Rob something about what he had planned for the jump and if he thought they could win..... Rob's reply "I dont know, we're goin off though"... I will never forget that....

It's amazing that he was just trying to do a little mod to his gear and it all went so wrong....HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
