Well its a year and a half later and I guess I got busy with other things. But its back on my agenda to get this video done. Is there anyone who wants to help me out with this? H

There wouldnt be a problem with dropping the lightbar if need be. We would be glad to donate the lightbar to the DZ as a party light:) Skyboarding it would be cool but I think logistically it might be harder (unless someone knows someone who would be willing to do it). We are trying to keep this on a low budget as we dont have thousands to invest into it. But we really hope to make it a reality!

Here is a picture of the lightbar: http://www.whackerusa.com/store/verveledlightbars/prod_37.html The jump could be done during the day as the LEDs are designed to be bright even in the day time. The lightbar with all accessories in the box is 34lbs but we could shave off a few pounds. Herschel

Hi All, I was a skydiver until I got married 3+ years ago (yes, I guess now I'm a wuffo) Being that I still have an obsession with skydiving, I had an idea for marketing my business. I am the owner of an emergency (police) lights company. We sell all types of lights for police cars. My crazy idea is to have a skydiver jump with one of our lightbars (while its flashing) and have a videographer (or 2) film it. I'm looking for standard DV quality video. Is this something thats possible (with a relatively low budget)? Any one out there who can help me please let me know:). Thanks in advance. Herschel

Sounds like I may have some luck asking my rigger. Its a cypres 1 so I guess it wont be in the window. I dont think it was on my card but I will check. Thanks alot guys! Herschel

Hey, I am working on selling my rig as I recently got married (yes I know, we are all warned that marriage will screw jumping

Does anyone here know if skys the limit or crosskeys are gonna be open today (sunday jan 2nd) for jumping? Im dying to get a jump in while im home.... Herschel

Hey all, Thanks for the responses. I like the one with "writing inthe field" so that when shes under canopy she can see it. The issue of having her right up against a tandem master is something ive thought about. Dont worry, I'mnot proposing anytime soon, just wanted to get ideas. As for my gear, thats mine! hehe. Anyway, keep the ideas coming:) Herschel Btw I'm an Orthodox Jew and the way we do the marraige thing is by going out with a girl only for marriage. (if that makes any sense)

Hey all, Ive been thinking for a while that it would be cool to propose while skydiving. The problem is, the girl I am dating does not skydive, though she is willing to do a tandem jump. Does anyone have any romantic way to propose while skydiving? My idea was to jump with a rose(either in my mouth or hand) and then land before her, so that when she lands I get down on my knee and ask her the question. I would love to hear all the crazy ideas:) Herschel

Ill be coming home to NJ in 2 weeks! will get some nice cold jumps in:). Hope to see yall there. Herschel

SkydivePA was nice. Only prob is that they are closed monday and tuesday. Anyone have a contact number for Beaver Valley Skydiving? Btw...there was a plane crash tehre yesterday, but I dont know if it involved skydivers. I was working on the ambulance in the next county over and heard it come thru as possibly skydivers...whos knows. Either way I would like contact info...thanks Herschel

Hey everyone, I'm writing a speech that I will be giving in a public speaking course. I am trying to get a rough date that the reserve parachute was introduced into our sport. Thanks, Herschel

Thanx for the info:)

This seems to be a general Bridge day info thread. Is there any place where we could camp out? Its gotta be within watching distance of the bridge becuase I observe the Sabbeth and we dont drive on Saturday. Also, is there a need for volunteer paramedics on Friday (I cant help out Saturday, but will be there watching)

I know its going to be expensive, but at least it will keep me some what current until I can get to Eloy (hopefully).
