Gene03 0 #1 August 23, 2013 It was in the early '60's as a young kid I remember watching an impressive skydiving demo. Every summer Monday evening the community of Lake Tomahawk Wisconsin would have the locals playing a snowshoe softball game on a sawdust field. A good tourist draw to say the least. And yet another reason to drink beer. Prior to the start of the game a skydiver from Superior Wisconsin would do a demo into the field. I'd seen it several times before but this evening was particularly impressive. Chuck's exit was over the lake shore and a little too long. He tracked with smoke all the way to over the field. At somewhere under 1000 feet as he was crossing the pitchers mound I seen him come in and pull his ripcord as he was crossing first base, damn good track. At this point he was a man in coveralls with a helmet and gloves with this backpack on. Ya, no shit, the other demos were but a speck in the sky and then a parachute. He swung under with the opening shock, grabbed his toggles and did a 180 back to the pitchers mound. Another 180 and a stand up on the pitchers mound, as usual. Can you say HUMMIN IT? Any one else heard of the Yost brothers, Chuck and Butch from Superior Skydivers? I would like to thank Chuck for my first real introduction to skydiving.“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.
