100 Way Attempts at Pit Meadows '86

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a video of the jumps we did at Pit Meadows in '86. Maybe the best day of skydiving I ever had. We did five 100 way attempts in one day. We got a 97, a 98, a 99 and even a 100 way when Norm Kent docked 100th in place of someone who went low. Most of the same group met again at the Nationals Boogie a few weeks later and made the official record on the second try. (The first one was a comedy of FUBAR) It was really cool to do it in front of the crowd at Nationals but the five jumps at Pit Meadows were even more fun. I'm wondering if anyone from back then might have the video of those jumps. I sure would like to be reminded of how good I used to be. ;)

I'm going to post this on History & Trivia also because I'd really like to see it again.

I'm pretty sure I've seen those jumps, on a VHS tape somewhere. Back when I was starting out in the early 90's. All my VHS tapes are boxed up somewhere in the attic, along with some of the VHS tapes of MY 100 ways in the late 90's. I haven't had a working VHS player in a long time. The good old days...[:/]

Nothing makes the good ol' days as good as a bad memory. But there were times..

If you ever run across those tapes, I would pay to have it put on a disc. I can watch a mediocre skydive with ME in it 100 times. A world record 8 way maybe 8 or 10 times.
