pilotdave 0 #1 December 7, 2002 My (extreme whuffo) brother bought me this DVD from amazon.com just based on the title. I had never heard of it. It's definitely not made for skydivers, but I enjoyed it. I had seen at least parts of it before on the Learning Channel. It basically has two documentaries. The first focuses mainly on sport skydiving and wingsuits. The second part is about how parachutes are used in many different applications. Covers everything from base jumping to para-rescue to the X-38. It was a nice surprise. Far less whuffo-like than I expected based on the cover. Don't pick it over crosswind or good stuff, but if you have those already, it's not a bad addition. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpoxon 0 #2 December 7, 2002 Any of it worth ripping and uploading? :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #3 December 7, 2002 Oh I would NEVER do something like that. If any of it were to appear on the server, it would have been uploaded by someone else. Since I know that only the rightful owners of videos upload them, it would definitely have been uploaded by the company that made it. Definitely.

VivaHeadDown 0 #4 December 7, 2002 This brings up an interesting topic. What kinds of things have people gotten from their whuffo friends and family that is skydiving related, but not exactly the kind of thing a skydiver would ever be caught buying. I got an old PS1 game from my dad that is supposed to be about skydiving. It was $10. It's actually a timed button mashing game, where you don't really control anything, but when you mash the right buttons in time the people "fly" into impossible formations. Very lame. I'm so embarassed. Next. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lippy 785 #6 December 7, 2002 My sister got me Parachuting, The Skydiver's Handbook for Xmas a couple years ago. Last year she got me this little cooler/chair with a note from her inside that said 'to keep your beer in at the drop zone'. That's what I've gotten from my 'whuffo-as-they-come' family.I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
