Low Altitude Helicopter jump?
fastphil replied to Scarface007's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I jumped a small helicopter with next to nothing airspeed from about 1000-1100 feet with a freepacked StratoFlyer; took a couple of seconds freefall to enjoy the proximity of the treetops and still had a decently long canopy ride. The problem with lower jumps requiring extreme accuracy is lack of canopy time to set up your landing. -
Always land facing south.

Anybody know where I could view Mike Sizemore's work or possibly get some reprints??

Wish I hadn't clicked on this one, now I'll be wondering all the time.

Agree; even bicycling Wolf Creek Pass it takes a good tuck to hit 60.

Looks like you're re-inventing Magnet Men

I liked it, but what do I know... -
How many dropzones have you jumped?
fastphil replied to SansSuit's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I can't remember, and there were BASE and demos and parties and other unofficial locations, so I voted boobies. -
It took me just one jump to get hooked.

No matter the maneuver, stability or lack of stability, time and space awareness are absolutely essential in skydiving. I guess you've figured that out.

I had plans to do that once, with a buddy; we were going to strap two lawn chairs together. We instead discovered some formations nearby (towers) that could be climbed and offered a free fall opportunity and went that way instead. BASE took off and we never got back to our lawn chair jump. I know, just another lawn chair whuffo.

If only we had a place where we could go to search for these things. http://bfy.tw/Zdd Thanks Flyer... would it be to much to ask to get me a blue ray disc while your at it?

Could that be considered a robot?

Sad too, Houston is where BASE got off the ground (Earth)...

Congrats, How about, "Love is in the air" -
Memories are the best possessions, and notice the BASCR card is sexist anyway...

Way Cool. Late 1970ish we did an 11 way nekkid star at Spaceland from a small door twin beech; my only nekkid jump and the most awkward seating for the ride up I ever encountered.

That's not nice.

I usta live next to a small airfield that had a similar crash; two planes on final, one above, one below, not seeing each other. These two pancaked in a field next to my house so hard they were mostly two dimensional.
-
I see what you did there. Can't we just let that one by as a figure of speech, like we do "manhole"
-
Wow, only her fall rate gives her away...

I would not hump Robover, just sayin'...

My Grandmother worked in a shipyard at that time. A very liberated woman she was.
