Ketia0 0 #1 July 10, 2009 How many of you have been asked while viewing your skydives how you keep up with the airplane? Today im at work, watching my last 10 skydives, and seeing where i can improve and think about it some more. 3 different people walked by and saw me watching it. Then they asked how i kept up with the plane!!! But i got major propage for being a skydiver!! "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds.

JohnRich 4 #2 July 10, 2009 What do you mean by "keep up with the airplane"? Vertical descent rate? Horizontal forward-throw speed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigra 0 #4 July 10, 2009 When I used to keep a few skydiving pictures on my desk, people would ask how they took the pictures- from the ground or did the pilot take them from the plane? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tell them I let a stills camera go when I'm in freefall and it gets a little chute of its own. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cocheese 0 #8 July 11, 2009 And they wonder why we say "the drive home is more dangerous."It's 2009 and you know why we don't have flying cars yet? Because these people can't drive a freakin car on the ground yet. That's why. Like we're going to give them flying cars.Ok back to the topic: A smarter person would ask: "How does the the PLANE keep up with YOU?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
