  1. I'm taking up Base jumping with a space ball... seek and destroy, clear and sweep, what ever you want to call it, its all fun in games in the game of war.
  2. Blue Skies Charlie!!! You were always the person i could relate to on the the sport and had the same sense of humore as me toward new jumpers and the OLD ones, too. I'll miss miss you bro! Colon Berry
  3. Thanks for the 2 cents! Sounds like something i would try! I've had this thought of a "visual" demo jump for a while: a 10 way exits, the 'base' is two headdowners with large amounts of smoke on there feet and act as pylons, two other headowners fly around them with diferent color smoke, as two belly fliers do the same but in the oppisite direction with different color smoke as well, two wing suiters going the oppisite direction as the BF'ers, with smoke as well, and two really small high performance canopy pilots do the same as the above stated jumpers. I'm picturing a DNA strand looking smoke trail comming down from the sky at different speeds and directions.....wow, i think i had too much fun on New Years back in 2000, its starting to catch up with my mind.
  4. Ok, this is something to be tried. If i can pull together a good four way in the morning: Exit 4-way HD flower into the line of flight, release the grip and start a tracking formation with traditional track positions (Belly and back) with the other two fliers on thier sides tracking. If it flies good the first time start a rotation to the right that flies like a spiral....and then.....try it with smoke on the feet. Cool to see from the ground i bet.....
  5. Thanks, but i would have exsplained things the same way to him in a PM. I just wanted to keep this thread dedicated to sharing fresh ideas about things to do in the air that hasn't been done, not what wasn't done on the ground, or about bad mouthing a specific DZ or group. Lets keep it clean. Safty First, and all that dribble. CB
  6. Your barking up the wrong tree dude. I havn't worked/jumped for ECFF in 3 years. I did a few coach jumps with some friends or came out and did some high Alt. hop and pops, and test jumps on Military Free fall systems. I dont even live in ZHills anymore. I can say in the 10 years i did work full time as a Free Flier, it can be hard trying to please everyone on THEIR vaction, when it is your primary time of year to make some cash for your own christmas/pay the bills, rest if your going 24/7, ect. trying to do the tunnel, coach and have a life of your own. Sometimes as a full time Flier you dont jump in weather conditions that my impeed you from jumping for months if you break your leg or worse, trying to please someone during a boogie. Maybe you should try them on a non boogie day/week. I bet you will find things different from your last exsperience. I am a big advocate for Freedom of Speech, but any other post such as this should really be sent as a PM,... like i said at the bottom of the 1st post i made here.
  7. Hey I've got an idea..........Why don't all you original Freeflyers with 5000 to 15000 Freefly jumps who quit jumping because us low timers offerred you no challenges and you were tired of coaching us........ Why don't you guys get your asses back to the DZ and make some shit happen. ---------------------------------------------------------- Some of us had to grow up and start thinking about making some real money, stop living in a trailer, and build a house. As for the flying thing sounds like you got some spirit! I would be happy to come visit your DZ for your event as a fun jumper, if the Govt. will give me the time off. Keep me posted! As for the x, and other party favors you listed (you left some out....) they didnt become more important, just more potenent! CB
  8. What sup with you! Sounds like your keeping busy! I'll have to defanatly give that a try this weekend if we get desent weather here in lowwer Mizzizzippi! As for the "side flying", it's kind of like tracking,...but you go in circles, kind of fun and strange at the same time! Just my style. I wonder where one would be put in the exit order for this type of disapline? Something to ponder. CB seek and destroy, clear and sweep, what ever you want to call it, its all fun in games in the game of war.
  9. How about A competition where you have to EXIT doing a back FLIP and continue untill opening,..nice openings! Have you ever done a tracking Backloop? Does a fly do a bckloop or a barrel rool when he lands on the celing? seek and destroy, clear and sweep, what ever you want to call it, its all fun in games in the game of war.
  10. You know Mike Swanson has the best back flip,....take him out Nancy Keragan style before you get on the plane. seek and destroy, clear and sweep, what ever you want to call it, its all fun in games in the game of war.
  11. How about a competition that all teams exit at the same time from seprate airplanes and the team that does more compulsary/blocks/ moves (I.E-A,B,C,D) is the only team that the computure controled parachute/harness container is allowed to open and land to recieve a medal? Or better yet a Space ball that sends out a electronic signal to the slower person who is competing and disables his parachute. Or better yet, if you dont go FASTER Headdown than the fastest speed recorded your rig exsplodes!! Instead of U.S. Nationals or Space Games TM we call it DEATH RACE? OR EVEN BETTER YET, if you dont get a picture in the next months magazine you loose rights to fly a camera for life! I'm sick,.. i know, i know, it's my mind you see. seek and destroy, clear and sweep, what ever you want to call it, its all fun in games in the game of war.
  12. Yes, i'm at fault by not giving credit to the CRW guys by saying they are the first and still are the ones continuing "FREE & fUnKy FlYing"...just ask them!
  13. Thats what i'm talking about,.... and how about throwing in a compressed cart-wheel in between those moves, with a front and back track that dives and turns a verical 180 degress that direction, into a horizonal carve, with a hand dock, and then into a...?
  14. Hi, OK, I've been out of the whole free fly scene for bit, doing my own thing, but help me out here, any input is welcomed. Is it not possable for this forum to post and talk about NEW ideas and some imaginaitve skydives or positions to fly in here in the future? (Not talking about big ways, ladies. You rock. But about doing something that makes them say again "your a FREE Flyer" THAT BLEW MY MIND, i didnt think that was possable!) Your being past up by the Wing suit FLIERS. They seem to be the only people with fresh idas now days. Possabilitys is what Free flying is about, or what it was about back in the mid 90's. We sat around and said what if we could do this, or.... is this possable,..... and we went out and tried or did it spending our own jump tickets and brain cells, and found out through trial and error if it could happen with out lttle bit of ability. It took lots of jump tickets and many burned brain cells, but we did it, for the most part that was documented. Here you guys have a web sit to comunicate, and ask "IF" is possable, and make it happen. It would be nice to see some WACKED out ideas and get back leads or info if IT worked for someone some where, without having a patented or a trade mark put on it, or a "I'll show it to you if i make the nationals video." I would be happy to try some of the stuff your new minds can come up with, because mine is bURnT out, but my body and skills say yes i can do more than re-invent RELETIVE WORK> Me personaly,..i'm trying and spending money flying SIDEWAYS this weekend. I'll let you know how it went. I welcome some insitefull ideas to this thread, and say to those who just want to tear it down to PM me about what i just said, rather than turn it into an 8th grade pissing contest.

  15. FINALLY! Now I can leave this place too! Didnt want to leave you here all alone You and Me have been here (ZHILLS) the longest, Same time i believe,... I cant wait to get up to Mississippi and jump small Drop zone and get back to Full time HUNTING!!! Good luck to you Brother, and thanks for all the 8x10 memories & FUN jumps you have provided these past 12 years! Take what you want, give nothing back! Colon Berry
  16. If you want to get that technical,...how about adding in other factors like air density, exit altitude,, ect... The statement was and is: Jump With SOMEONE who is exspeiranced with a skyball, not a degree in physics......or better yet both. Jump with Jim ORiely,.. Just my 2 cents.

  17. phreeezonone has the best statement,...A single oz can be the difference between a nice fall rate and something that goes 200 mph. The tail length also has a big factor in the fall rate. Get an EXPERIENCED ball master to go through with you on how to first jump with their ball, then how to build your own. Also once you learn how... get training on how to ball master. There is a huge difference between jumping with a ball and being a ball master. Spc.

  18. #1 Jump with who ever makes you fell comfortable.Check your altitudude! #2 Get a good through debrief. #3 Make damn sure you understand what you need to do to improve, and not just jump on the fastested load...slow is smooth, smooth is fast...(my down fall with the other coach) #4 Check your altitudude! #5 Keep trying and never give up our put yourself in situation that could turn bad just because shes "cute".........
