Noodle dives are fun, with an extremely high level of zooiness. :P

Every one dives out, gets relative with no contact, and then beats each other with pool noodes. :ph34r:

... and skydivers made their own parachutes from the skin from Terradactal wings...





I still have my old 'PARAdactal'..and these NooBs think Z-po is hard to pack!:S


I KNEW that's how the PARAdactal got its name! :P

When I started, there was a guy that would come out to Cal City once in awhile and jump a double keel Dactal. Unfortunately, I didn't know enough at the time to watch and appreciate what he was doing when packing it. :(

electric 4-way



get yourself some liquid courage, and do an electric 2-way instead. Unlike RW, the less people you have the more interesting it gets. :ph34r::D

By the end of the year, I hope to be the first person (that I know of) to solve a rubix cube in freefall three jumps in a row. I challenge you to beat me to it :)



you're my new hero!:P


Don't give me credit yet, My solves are still between 2 and 3 minutes each. Down from the 5-10 minutes it took me a few months ago, but that would still hurt the same.

THE LIST:

rodeo
[...]
ride the wingman (is there another name for this?)

Rodeoes can be done on horses with or without wingsuit.

I actually practiced once without suit with me in a delta before I put on my suit. I now have about a dozen - they're fun, but you don't get to see the rider's grin until you're back on the ground. They make a great base for a tracking jump too :)
Hybrids make for very nice twoways - jump with a light girl or very small guy in a baggy suit, and work on your fallrate.
Johan.
I am. I think.

Maybe someone has a picture or can do a vid-cap from an old video to show folks here what a leg-lock in RW is (was).



It's not exactly old footage, but it is retro. Clicky (YouTube).

I thought "Electric" what-ever-ways involved acid or LSD, not just plain ol' "liquid courage"?
:S

Is that You Tube footage of Air Moves at Perris? Sorry, I can't open it, I ain't got the bandwidth... :S If so, then it would be circa late 80s or 1990-91?... right?? Anyway, I agree, not that old, really, but seeing as how a lot of the folks here were not much past still crapin' in their pants then... kinda old to them... :S
:D
:P

I'm pretty sure not... the description makes it sound much more recent than that; a (European) club were using the '86 dive pool for fun in their competition.

so me and a friend of mine where doing a sort of reverse rodeo where i was the horse (so we could see eachother's smile and such) but when i went to flatten out/backfly she was more on my thighs than anything, forcing me into a sit. so i was in a sit, and she was in my lap. is there a name for this?
