kuai43 7 #6 September 18, 2010 How about a martial arts-themed jump? After landing first, I set up a board-break for Bobby P. I told him if he could hit it, I'd hold Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen.

Nutz 0 #13 September 20, 2010 Quote why not? The reason I was given when I knew someone who did them is that my canopy is too small. I think it is because noone wants to take a risk on me. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimp 1 #19 September 20, 2010 At major accuracy meets in Europe, every jump is a demo jump - into a "sheep pen" about 60 feet across. Thirty to forty teams of five jumpers each, an eight jump competition, non-stop action for three days. At this comp. in Thalgau, east of Saltzburg Austria the locals go all out to make it really special. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nutz 0 #21 September 20, 2010 Quote you're kidding, right? Let me say that I know the score, I can go and get a Pro rating and do my own demos and not invite the a-holes that didn't invite me. A couple of years ago I decided I would do just that. Then I started thinking about all I would have to do, buy an accuracy canopy, do ten jumps in a weekend for which I would have to pay a packer, not to mention the jumps. Then I have to learn a whole bunch of new to me regulations all just to say "nenner, neener" to a couple of assholes. It became much less important to me. I guess it still bothers me since I posted to this thread and replied to you but if it is my only regret in skydiving I haven't done too bad. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

BillyVance 34 #22 September 20, 2010 One of mine... on final to landing on a narrow sandy beach of a wave pool at the water park. There really wasn't anywhere else to land. It was either land there, or go in the pool. Parking lot was jammed full, and the park had 5000+ people everywhere. Thankfully, I aced it.

Brains 2 #23 September 20, 2010 One of my favorites. Demo into the Texas Ski Ranch which is a cable lake wakeboard park. We jumped in on a Satuday and Sunday morning/early afternoon. The landing area is an island surrounded by five towers and cables all the way around at about 30 feet up. They told us on the pre jump briefing that if we hit it, it would be a min. of $5k to fix. Our pilot gave them one hell of a flyby over their boat lake in the kingair before each jump too. He had people in the boat duckingAerial view HERE Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gadget 0 #24 September 20, 2010 Demo into the Goffert stadium in the netherlands. With a big thank you to the dutch airforce for providing the jumpship. Exit speed was 165 Mph If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertDevil 0 #25 September 20, 2010 We did nine demos last week. This one is my favorite, and the only one I have pictures of. We jumped into a small town in Utah for their town celebration and their football game. They had a great time. And so did we. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
