Do you know any skydiving geologists or geographers?

Hi there

You will have probably seen me post already about a TV series I am putting together for Discovery Channel. And many of you have kindly come up with great suggestions for locations. Now I have a different request. Do any of you know of any geologists or geographers in the sport. I am looking for characters who could tell us what we are seeing from the air- and why- before jumping into the view!

any ideas gratefully received- and you can email me if you like on [email protected].

Many thanks from London, England.

Might be easier to find a geologist with a good on-camera personality then spend the money and send him/her to get their A license.

In the Navy, you can't put your hands in your pockets but I was always told not to put my hands in my pockets by people with their hands in their pockets. Kinda funny huh?

I know a hydrogeologist, Ph.D., former USAF officer, current community college professor, very experienced skydiver. As close as I can get.

But all you really need is someone to write the script. And a skydiver that can read.

Hey Sam,

Call or contact me.

I can describe the terrain, no land zones, rising terrain etc. I can tell you anything about how such spectacular vistas came into being.

I already have done interviews in Britain. See my makeithappen.com web site for links to the interviews. Just about anyone will say that I am a 'character'. ;)

And I've forwarded your request to a skydiving geologist I know as well. But Jan is definitely very knowledgeable.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

You "know" a few? You just don't want to be on TV do you?
