freeflyguy 0 #1 May 11, 2003 Evening magazine, news show, Channel 5 in Seattle, I think, was out at Kapow yesterday. The did a piece on Swooping. It was a blast, a lot of pond swoop shots, camera man is a ballsy dude too. I draped him with my canopy, and he didn't flinch. He also went up in the 182 to get some exit shots. Hanging out the door with huge camera. It was mostly, Andy, Keri, Luke, Layne and me. The way it sorta seemed is it will turn into and Andy Farrington show, but whatever. The anouncer guy was having a blast, and real positive towards us. Although he thought we were all gonna bash the ground. He got used to it though. Look for it May 19th or something www.eveningmagazine.com Much fun... ---------------------------- bzzzz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflyguy 0 #5 May 21, 2003 That was pretty cool Layne, forget his last name, is the one doing the barrel rolls out of the cessna. I had a couple shots. One was dragging the water up to the cameraman, and draping him with my canopy. Couple other clips too. One of the clips from a helmet cam swooping the pond. Cool... Fun day too. If I can convince my VCR to cooperate, I will upload it to DV then the web. Might as well get my 2 seconds up to four. ---------------------------- bzzzz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflyguy 0 #6 May 21, 2003 oh yeah, For everybody that has ever heard about it, Andy's famous rear riser stall in Flordia, where his shoe almost hit the camera man, is on this too. ---------------------------- bzzzz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeedToJump 0 #9 May 22, 2003 Thanks for posting the video up for all of us who don't get Washington news. It's nice to see some good, positive coverage of swooping on TV and not just what you see on Fox's "World's Worst" etc. etc.... Nice swoops!Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflyguy 0 #13 June 14, 2003 No, not a shameless bump to get this to the top... Evening Mag liked what they got so much the last trip out, they will be out again this Sunday (22nd). They are going to, or allready have sold it to National Geographic, so I hear. So if you are in the area, are good enough to not embarass yourself, and everybody else, or just wanna watch, Kapow a week from tomorrow. ---------------------------- bzzzz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
