RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 May 18, 2005 This was a conversation we had this past weekend...and no one knew any freeflyers past age 40. Do you know freeflyers over forty? if so should we have a FOF? _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMGR2 0 #2 May 18, 2005 We have a guy at my dz named Jim Bunn. Gonna guess he is in his 50's. One of the nicest guys on the dz too. Come to think about it, I don't think about it I don't think I've EVER seen him belly fly except going thru AFF. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 May 18, 2005 QuoteI don't think about it I don't think I've EVER seen him belly fly except going thru AFF. Didn't he try to do the 4-way RW scrambles? Am I thinking of the same guy?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My brother is 43. There's a whole bunch of us actually. Edit: Oh.. and Mad John, Pat works, I'm not sure but I think Brian Germaine um... Orly King, Olav, Kurt Issel is BAD ASS freeflyer I'm done for now. :)My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

bob.dino 0 #6 May 18, 2005 There's a guy on my DZ - several thousand jumps, AFF-I, TM, lots and lots of bigway experience - who's currently getting seriously into freeflying. He's got a 24yo daughter and a salt 'n' pepper beard. So, mid-forties to fifty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RkyMtnHigh 0 #7 May 18, 2005 So sorry Timmae...I forgot that we did have this "age" conversation at the bonfire in Dublin...so I wonder Olav's age...I've seen him a lot at Sebastian and Clewiston lately. But you can admit that there aren't a ton of us freeflyers over forty, right? I know RW dudes that are in there mid 70s... so okay in two years I join P.O.P.S and damn proud of it..but I wish we had a freeflying version of P.O.P.S.... _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hookitt 0 #9 May 18, 2005 Who knows, he announced it to everyone that I know. He had a "please come skydive with me because I'm 40" party a few months before you went up to Davis. Amazing flyer isn't he!My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerry81 10 #12 May 18, 2005 There's this Italian guy named Philippe Leroy who's over 70. I packed for him a few times when he was jumping atmonauti two weeks ago at the Atmo Pro2 boogie. Does that count? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 35 #15 May 18, 2005 When the POPS were doing their FL state record recently, I joked with one of the organizers that I was going to get the first POP freefly record when I turn 40 next month. I think I just need to do a solo. Katee, don't forget about Glen and James in Deland. I don't know how old they are, but I know they have grandchildren.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoudDan 0 #17 May 18, 2005 We've got Jack Barns at ASC, 67 years old, and an avid freeflyer. Good too. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #18 May 18, 2005 QuoteAmazing flyer isn't he! Absolutely. One of these days I wanna do some coach jumps with him. NorCal seems to have a huge group of really good flyers. And they aren't skygodish about it either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #19 May 18, 2005 several.. "Bullet" Bob is the most active that comes to mind.. and that guy can and does fly rings around nearly everyone, even at a dropzone like Eloy (it's the gloves )... quiet, unassuming and one of the coolest people to jump with around...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

blueskyserenity 0 #20 May 18, 2005 QuoteWe've got Jack Barns at ASC, 67 years old, and an avid freeflyer. Good too. I jumped w/ Jack this past summer. He is definately a bad ass ff. And a hot bod too for his age, at least a 9-pack ab. He was walking around w/out his shirt on and all the 'young guy's' were jealous telling him to put his shirt back on b/c he was making them look bad. I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to head up there and do a freefly birthday jump with you...unless you "prefer" to do a solo. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
