Corey came to Star Skydiving Center for help in pulling off this event. I am the S&TA for the DZ and I am also the individual who prepares the paperwork for the FAA in relation to demos or off-site jumps. It was interesting walking into the local FSDO and asking for permission to perform an off-DZ parachute operation, and that I could not tell him why or where it would be at that time. Hollywood needed the paperwork lickity-split, and two days to pull it off. FSDO was willing to work with me on the matter. The only reason I say this was even possible was by going to the FAA/FSDO office upon receiving my PRO rating and introducing myself to them. I also took over the paperwork to establish trust. Anyway, Corey told us this was "BLACK-OPS" "HUSH-HUSH" type a thing. He asked if I would like to be camera and jump with him. Of course I said yes, but with a bit of hesitation. At our dropzone we are fortunate to have Marcus Harris from Eloy working for the summer. Marcus and I are close friends, and have been for a few years now. So in looking at the stunt and what was to happen, the client, Corey and his business, the family, the safety of the jumpers, the fact that my name is on the FAA rules to follow, the name-sake of our dropzone and the history of who has flown and shot a skysurfer; Marcus was the best choice for the job. Bar none. I felt it best to stay on the ground and make sure that my jumpers were safe. Although I did enjoy the practice jumps that we all three had in preparation of the event. It did go well, and even with the short timeline. So Congratulations to Corey Barton, skysurfer, and Marcus Harris, freefall videographer, for making primetime must-see TV. Solid exit and clean maneuvers. And a thanks to Corey Barton for allowing us to be a part of making a dream come true for a deserving family. Thanks to the local FSDO for being understanding and not laughing at my request for a waiver with no location or reason why. And to Sarah Harris, our manifest expert, for being a great liason to Extreme Home Makeover staff and our tiny company, and to Kathleen Walker for flying the jumpers for the event. Thank you ltdiver for noticing and posting. It is appreciated. "Riky" "Make your plans dark and as inpenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt" -Sun Tsu rocket

I coach/instruct at SnakeRiver Skydiving, but I also jump at Skydive Idaho, that is all for me. Anyway, I would recommend either one. I would more recommend Star than Skydive Idaho though, given your numbers, and I do not know your background/training/etc., but jumping at a new DZ, just off a 4-lane freeway, with helo and plane traffic, it may be a bit overwhelming. Then again, I do not know you or your abilities. SnakeRiver Skydiving in Star has a lot of open area and a private strip for the DZ. And like was said before, I have yet, also, to meet a jumper here that I did not like. "Make your plans dark and as inpenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt" -Sun Tsu rocket
