plowdirt 0 #1 December 10, 2004 A good friend of mine who has been sitting in a chair for a long time, better side of 10 years wants to do it. I said yea I'm sure someone out their can make it happen. So we were having lunch yesterday discussing it and I said I'll do the research. Mike is about 5'10'' 209lbs he is a quadriplegic. What level I don't know(C-5, whatever) but, we surfed some big waves back in the day, traveled, fish boat, so much. Is there some info any of you could help out with. thanks Ed.

freefalle 0 #2 December 10, 2004 He wants to do what? A tandem? 100% possible. Pine Pinar at skydive Deland took a guy who was a quadriplegic not too long ago. Both TM and Passenger did GREAT. The passengers father who is a skydiver went on the load with them and I shot a video for him. Your in South FL? Its not too long of a drive up here. Give Pine a call I'm sure if it can be done he'll take care of it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plowdirt 0 #3 December 11, 2004 Thanks for the responce Chuck, and yes a Tandem. I wish we could have gone through AFF togather, and I know if he could have , we would have. Tomorrow infact I'm calling him right now and discuss it some more. Tomorrow I'll call Pine. I have a feeling there will be abit of tendems that day, the whole crew will be out. Thank You Freefalle.

Jib 0 #5 December 11, 2004 There was a girl out one day but it was too windy for Caleb to let them go up. I *think* Jerry was going to do the jump.

FlyingJ 0 #6 December 15, 2004 You should PM Popsjumper and CrazyRick on here. Or do a search on their messages. They posted about a jump that a family member made a few months back.Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plowdirt 0 #7 December 15, 2004 Thanks for the replies, I spoke to a couple of DZ'z and got the information I needed. Turns out there is a weight restriction at one and the other will do it as long as the Doctor says its alright via Dr's note, then my boy will be flying. He still has the thought in his head, you know how it goes. so I'll let you know what happens either way. thanks again. ED Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobsoutar 0 #8 December 20, 2004 Hi I am a C4 quadraplegic weighing around 200 pounds. Did a tandem last Friday at Zephyr Hills with no problems. Apparently the story is going into the Tampa Tribune the week after Christmas. Hope your friends jump goes well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
