Not sure how to get him turned around for a more stylish dismount?



More stylish?

Go sit on top of that slider and then the other guy makes a cutaway. Then land the canopy. :)



Please don't.
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

All BS aside, that kind of stunt WILL kill you, graveyard. However, I leave you with this parting remark...."Carry On"

To add to that:
That would be the "ghostplane" I believe.
It can be hard to beat the stunts of the 1980s jumpers!
I don't know where I got the attached photos; some place off the web.
(But I've also seen video where the trailing canopy spun up after the cutaway, and it took the one jumper some time to get himself free.)

Thats a cool stunt, but a bit different one. In the pictures there are supposedly two CReW fliers and the otherone takes over the other CReW fliers canopy. Also he does not land with one canopy but two canopies.

EDIT: I remember seeing a video where two guys land a mr. bill with the other guy sitting on the other guys shoulders. I think it was shot at WFFC perhaps late 90s.

This is a photo Of Mike Palmer (Slugo) and Bob Langston (Mr Bill) taken by Mike Sisemore back in the early 80's. Forgot to mention it was in Tahlequah Oklahoma.



Love it! Haven't seen this picture in years. Palmer's the man, and the man that taught me to skydive.

A friend of mine who was at Quincy when someone landed a Mr. Bill said that soon after they landed there was an announcement over the PA system: "Effective immediately, everyone must land his own canopy."
