dzswoop717 5 #6 October 7, 2013 At the end of the video, when the guy kisses the chick, the dudes nose is ripped open and his eye is swollen shut. He let the chick know that she might have blood on her face and she sort of wipes it off. Talk about early combat RW!!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skypuppy 1 #8 October 8, 2013 JerryBaumchenHi there, I just found this: http://www.britishpathe.com/video/world-parachute-championship If it has been posted before, I'm sorry. JerryBaumchen From what I understood the 4th World Parachute Championships were held in Czechoslovachia, not France? Canada was represented by Floyd Martineau, the first Canadian to participate in a world championships. I checked another source and and it confirms Bratislava. Maybe this is the French Nationals to select a team to go to the Worlds?If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

malooper 0 #12 October 10, 2013 Loved watching this! Thanks for sharing! Can't believe the difference…definitely do not think I would be jumping if it was still the round parachutes! It sure seems like a much rougher landing..Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. -Raymond Lindquist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
