crashtested

Its all funny, i'm a funny guy...... Written to be read quietly (just so you know, when planning a comercial, thats what people do, its so people in different countries who are on your team know whats going on) (so in actual fact that part is not funny, my crappy drawing is funny, but the fact of showing people what they were signing up for, not so much)

That was just a piccy of me with shaving foam on, heres the story board idea

to the max!!!!!!!! Video of the jump this thread was set up for will be up on thursday next week. There will be a technical page up on here a bit later on, for those acccountants out there, who want to know a bit more about it all. I've attached my original story board ( i was a little drunk, so it may look like a 5 year old drew it) So you can get the idea...........

It was never that scary, i just thought it would be fun for you to try out your reserve canopy.... Your handle does say "pull" afterall, and you did geek me in a particuly nasty way. its not like you were in the door!!!!!!

In the back of my first log book, it gave you all free fall times and delays, with you pulling at 2500 I took that as this was a normal height to pull at, so jump number 19 my 1st after getting my A licence 2500 comes and I throw, canopy snivals a bit, under canopy for 1400, with my hands on my handles, couple of turns and i'm on the ground..... CCI was not so amused.

You don't need to learn how to swim, we just need you to thrash around to attract the sharks, You'll be perfect!!! Urmmm but seriously swimming would help... I don't think the brand we're working for would apriciate you being torn apart by bull sharks. Although we could use it for the out-takes. No publicitys bad publicity

Ok, Game on, can you dive???? If you can it would be great, if you can't you need to get at least your open water!!! And you need to have a really good think about it... i'm not shitting you when i say I will organise this, as it would make quite a funny story. You sure your ok with sharks, and hanging out with mountian dew drinkers, if you get here and pussy out, your on your own, and South africa aint too friendly right now!!! I'll PM my details to you once we have a green for go with the budget. we'll see if we can get you on board, and see if you need to get a diving cert or not! The shot is in 2 months or so, July i'm guessing 4 days sunday - thursday, shot will be done in 1 day, the rest will be cocking around me thinks

Dough I take anything from you as a compliment.... Speaking of extreme, You still have not said if you are going to be out bait for the next Comerical, all expenses paid to SA or Egypt, all you have to do is attract the sharks. We'll make sure your ok, (When i say "ok" i mean will make sure we get the shot) With the "cough " cough" Xtreeemee thing.. I am from Gen X so i just can't help it, sadley i am that person from the mountain dew advert..... (i thought about it yesterday, (i'm the love child of bill and ted, its really scary and slightly embarresing) although personally i think mountain dew is for pussys. I prefer tp drink vodka between shots, normally by eye balling them on my way up to alltitude And i don't pull low..... my cypress does it for me You can PM your awnser about the shark shot.. I'm betting you'll say no, but you could surprise us all!!

I think its quite funny..... but my humour is slightly more twisted than some. the fact that you docked shows some skills under pressure.

Congrats on the d licence thing, huge achivement in 2 years

Skydog, as we spoke about last night, people will judge there abillitys and make there own choices in this and any sport, Some people will just critisize, not admire feats of skill, or not surport ideas, because it has not yet been done, rather then get involved and make the impossible possible, and surport others in the sport. Its a shame that sooooo many people we know have become so sick of jumping tandems everyday that they have forgotten why they entered this sport becoming bitter and twisted and full of resentment. If the next couple of comericals happen it will be intresting to see the reaction of the other communitys.... i'm 99% sure it will be a million miles away from what we have encounted at home. Shark advert in egypt me thinks end of summer. I really really have a big fear of sharks, dough what you doing in august

Seriously he hurt my feelings..... I call bullshit ! "Extreme" wildmen dont have feelings that can be hurt. Although they do have bones that can be crushed and innards that get sqooshed out the arms and legs of their jumpsuits when they get extremely "extreme". bozo "Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars. "

You did hurt my feelings a little. I did say again in a post that i used a bad example of pushing the limits, by using low pulls as that example. The was created mainly to look for people who are in the sport to push boundrys, i am intrested in where that is being done!!

Why on earth would you think i pull low, if you don't like the poll don't respond you sad little man. tut tut tut

What you got against skaters and mountain dew drinkers. You must be skatist... I have re read how the poll is written and have not got my point across, as well as i could have. I was trying to get an idea on peoples opinions about pushing the boundrys in the sport, Kind of like the first wingsuit jump, or the first skysurf, or the first 100 way crw, etc etc. And how far they were willing to push it ato achive there goal?? Did the first skydivers idea get shot down when he thought of adding wings to a jump??

His tackle survived... Why he did not wear the protecting unit i have no idea, i guess he was being ballsy Hahahahaha I owe alot of you big time for joining me on my off the ball idea, shark bait next. or project ice man may get the go ahead, how are you climbing skills b? Big thanks to you all

After the pain we went through it deserved to be petrolised.. Hell yeah

Footage will be appear in due time, everyone was "awsome" The chair lived!!!!

Jumping with a barbers chair and shaving a guys beard off whilst he was in the chair, which was being held aff style by a couple of guys to keep it stable. I though i'd make it clear so i edited it a bit

I agree with about teaches not teaching well enough. Unfortuntly people become Insrtuctors becasue they enjoy the sport and want to jump more often, rather then being a good teacher who would like to become a skydiver and then instruct. People learn in different ways, some by doing some by seeing, some by reading, some by being told. etc etc.... Unfortuntly even the basic teaching methods are missed by some Instructors due to them not being taught.. its quite ironic really

My actions could only risk myself no one else.

I have just got back from a trip to spain, on it people were surpirsed by some of my actions and ideas, and style of jumping. In other Extreme sports I participate in my ideas and style are normally looked upon with smiles, banter, and good humour. Within skydiving I find extreme actions or ideas are looked upon in a slightly stranger way, is the sports filled with extreme accountants, who love to push the envolope as long as it all adds up, or do people think that the sport is risky enough without adding some of the above options in*?? HOw do you view yourself as a skydiver,, is doing the sport extreme enough, without pulling low or doing different things?? Just a thought

I had no idea PDF only used Santa for there Rig deliverys - maybe i should tell them about DHL!!!

Delivery time was put back to august....... Yesterdays news Delivery time is now Late december......... Awesome

I just purchased a camera , the Sony DCR-SR32 HHD camcorder. I am using it for a bit of filming on the ground, not for the sky. Could it be used as a skydiving camera though???? Are there any clams or box's it would fit????? And does anyone use a mindwarp as there camera helmet??? Only one thread previously on the dcr's but that went cold.. any info would as always entitle you to a Choccy bar
