Andy9o8 0 #6 December 8, 2010 I presume you mean what skydivers refer to as "skyboarding". It was more popular about 10-15 years ago than it is now. It is "legal" to do at any skydiving dropzone in the US whose management will permit that type of skydive to be made there. Skyboarding is an advanced form of skydiving that requires, as a prerequisite, a fair amount of skydiving experience, plus skyboarding-specific training. It requires an advanced skill-set that is above and beyond "regular" skydiving. Dropzone owners/managers will certainly insist upon this, plus the necessary skydiving license, and perhaps additional requirements, before they will allow anyone to make a skyboarding skydive at their facility.

ManagingPrime 0 #9 December 8, 2010 You know how fashions come back...I think skyboarding is comming back. When I have some more money I plan on flying a recommended coach in. My first exposure to skydive in the media was skyboarding back in the 90's. Still think it's pretty bad ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigMark 1 #22 December 9, 2010 Stopped Troy from climbing out with his brand new handy dandy ZP pilot chute sticking out, it still came out during the skydive. He landed pretty far from the dropzone...(I picked him up) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HALO1 0 #24 December 9, 2010 If you’re really interested, Oliver furrer will be at our DZ (Pacific Skydiving, North Shore) for about a month. Although I know he doesn’t skyboard much anymore, I’m betting he hasn’t lost any of his skills. Don't be sexist… Broads hate that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
