Kimberly Biggs is alive and well. She eloped with DB Cooper and is living a quiet life in the wilds of Washington. I thought I heard through the society pages that she is planning the wedding for this couple. http://imjussayin.co/woman-claims-she-is-in-a-sexual-relationship-with-bigfoot/ Hopefully we are all invited. Also, I hear they are accepting applications for best man/maid of honor.

What do you say to someone before a jump?
TampaPete replied to MartinRobichaud's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Is this the flight to Dallas? -
It did kill the plane.

It was done well. They followed four young ladies through tandem, did a quick story on Manny and ended with a big-way two-point attempt. It ended with the big-way being carried over to the next episode. I guess it will be on next Sunday.

Did anyone see “Skydiving” on NBCSN this morning? It was set at Skydive DeLand.

Aviation fuel and exhaust= possible lead poisoning
TampaPete replied to Doug_Davis's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Not eating the berries next to the road back then stems from the pesticides and herbicides used by the Highway Department not the lead from exhaust. -
Help a fiction writer with a skydiving scene
TampaPete replied to fictionwriter's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Remember, its fiction. Action fiction at that. Everyone is trying to give you literal advice of what is actually possible. You’re the writer, create the reality. Here’s my set up. Your action figure is on a small fast parachute (think Ferrari sports car), swings past the balcony and observes from above, sees the glass doors are open, grabs a front riser and spins a 720 building speed, straightens out at the correct altitude above the balcony and heads directly into the open glass doors. As his chute tangles onto the balcony above and everything else he cuts his main and tumbles into the room. Later he gathers up the chute, reconnects it to his rig, throws the mess off in front of him (see the attached video) and BASES’s off the balcony. It doesn’t need to be exact. It should be plausible and most of all it should be thrilling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe8OOD9uAOk watch at 1:00, 1:30,3:00 & 3:26. I suggest the 3:26 method. Oh, and enjoy the rest of the vid too. -
You just before filming Deliverance.

First 5 jumps were 10 second solo freefalls at 18. Jump 6 was a tandem 30 years later then straight into AFF and I’m still going.
