French Boogie on OLN

Recommended Posts

Saw most of this show today; the next airdate
is next Tuesday early in the AM. Still don't know
how they manage to stay in freefall for ten
minutes, must be the air or something...

2:30AM - 3:00AM HIGH FIVE
French Boogie
Skydivers are thrown in to the air at 3000 meters and free fall for 10 minutes. The idea of the boogie is to forget the competition spirit in order to have fun. It is a great occasion to freestyle alone or in groups, with boards or wings. At Brienne le Chateau in France, the French boogie brings together lots of people with the same passion and enjoyment for this sport.

Yes:

1:00PM - 1:30PM HIGH FIVE
Base Jump
Jumping from buildings, bridges and any other land based objects is the core to base jumping. Highly illegal generally which seems to be part of the thrill! Jumps at night and also in broad daylight and the risk that the parachute may not open are all part of the thrill.

Were they using the humoungous chopper at that boogie?



Yes they were. The show also featured a CRW 50-way
diamond that was busted on the last (bottom) slot,
if that jogs your memory.

would someone please explain how I can be thrown into the air at 3,000m and freefall for 10minutes?



That's either the result of a typo or skydivers
messing with the wuffo production company.
