how about the one of the weather balloons used by kitteridge from outer space?

as far as "I" go... i have 29 jumps...anything in THAT video as far as terrain, elevation, etc. is my enemy. However...i did stay at a holiday inn express last night....hmmm...here i come Whistler!!

cool man, that'll work. thanks everyone for the answers, ill keep it to the plane until i get a better location and more experience.

phreezone...i actually had two places in mind...primary-snow trails in mansfield, secondary- perfect north of bellefountaine if you are familiar with those. Stratostar- i appreciate your concern. It is well meant and brings only good and is not taken for granted and i dont think porterhouse was bagging on you. He was just trying to make sure that I didn't feel like you were. Thanks for that porter, in case I was intimidated- my girlfriend likes the shape of my head btwjavascript: addTag(':)') javascript: addTag(':)'). Phreezone, you might be more familiar with those ski slopes/foot hills and might see that the only reason i considered it with my experience is how small the slope is. I dont and still dont think it is even possible to get airborne and definitely not anythign like in that video. I just think i could get higher second hand smoking reefer in my friends car or maybe jumping the trick park ramps which i pretty regularly do and yes...have been broke on mulitiple occasions. well...im here on campus at OSU and got class so ill be back later to check on here

somebody asked about the size of the slope, not sure on feet but i would say a whopping 500 vertical max pretty much eliminating the option of starting out low and then wrokinb my way up.. there are . There are wide open (50yds treeline to treeline) slopes with no lifts over them but it is a very small degree slope. I think I'm going to let this one die. But if i do decide to maybe mess around with it at the even lower point on the low mountain, then will the snow ruin my canopy? its ohio "snow" chemicals and stuff...just wonderin

im just a 29 jump a license. Is it stupid? its an ohio hill, thats right, hill, or maybe speed bump, and i dont even know if i can get it up.....ha.....the canopy anyways...what kind of experience should i have. Seems to me that its much safer than anything else skydiving related. Some questions though. I own snowblades, skiis, and snowboard. Which should i use if any to get up speed, or should i run? what about stopping....not too much landing area as far as distance goes...maybe 200-300 very slightly sloping feet. I fly a Sabre I 190 will the snow hurt my canopy as I would like to skydive with it next year too? Ive been meaning to ask the instructors at my home dropzone aerohio but havent been up there recently because of a sinus infection.If this should not be attempted at all then shout out and put me in my place. I have no experience with this kind of thing and noone to tell me how to do it. Just looking for some info. Im also figuring this is a more of a beg for forgiveness instead of an ask for permission typep deal. Has anyone ever done it legally on a hill? thanks .....oh...and Troy Smith for heisman

not me, but I am brand new. First jump two saturdays ago through the Ohio State University class at Aerohio. I love that place in spite of its recent misfortune and will continue to call that my home dz even though it is 2hrs and 45 minutes from my home town and there are much dzs closer. Made my past three jumps the day of the tandem incident and was there when it happened. Even talked to the girl before hand. I am 19 yrs of age and look forward to an amazing time and one day the earned right to call myself an experienced skydiver. Post reply if you want an autograph! Talk to you all soon!
