Nice video but I gotta say I was quite disappointed when it turned out to not actually be an 8 point hybrid I was expecting to have my socks blown off



???

there were 8 points turned.



Not to be mean, but please explain how you counted 8 points on that skydive

Nice formation. I would say though, if you called the base out the door as one point. I only saw two points after that, as the hangers docked and hung, then did it again. Five points most depending on how you call the hangers. Nice though.

......


9- hangers let go
10- base breaks off
:P



If you apply wingsuiting criteria

11 - everyone approaches the airplane door
12 - people are in the same general airspace
13 - packing in the same room


anyway:

fun dive though, I counted 2 points - very sweet for someone's 100th. I like hybrids.

best to let go of bad exits and stop the bleeding early rather than hang onto it - but NICE recovery nevertheless

camera guy seems to like drifting to his portside - I suspect it something artistic :D

outside video didn't hear/know/whatever:( that the hangers were going to belly out and switch slots. i edited the video so you cant really tell.

however you want to count it, it was fun:)
and the base doesn't count as a point in anyone's counting, so nice 7 point hybrid.

"cupcaking" is good one though

Wow! A lot of sky gods shitting on your parade>:(

Listen man, that was an awesome 100th jump. Whether it was an 8 point or one point.

As far as the pie, anytime is good for pie;) 100 jumps is a great milestone that many never reach.

Congratulations and stay safe!

I guess everyone has thier own ways......Check Parachutist May 2011 ( this month ) page 53 bottom right corner.....last year we even pied a guy, Chris, for his first tandem.......after he had flown 2500 tandem loads, I think he deserved an honerary pieing.
