NWFlyer 2 #1 June 23, 2008 One of the locals can probably tell us how many of these made it into the print version of the paper, but the boogie got lots of great positive coverage for skydiving in the online version of the newspaper (including my 400th - yay! Can you spot all the other DZ.commers in these photos?). I wonder why they didn't include any photos of Tui's penis jump? http://www.sacbee.com/1071/gallery/1032143.html"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Bolas 5 #2 June 23, 2008 That inflatable tube looks crazy. Did someone ride inside it or does it not have a bottom?Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #3 June 23, 2008 It's just a big hamster wheel - open on both ends. I think the first group took it out of the plane with people inside, the second group just tried to take it like a hoop jump."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

This may be a stupid question but do you just let it fall on opening? Surely its too big for one person to open holding on to that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #6 June 23, 2008 Yeah that one was far too big for even one person to hang onto. I wasn't on either jump with the hamster wheel, but it required multiple people to control and needed to be jettisoned for deployment. The smaller inflatables can be held onto at deployment or let go."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Fozz 0 #7 June 23, 2008 The crazy wheel had 6 (I think) people in and was rolled out the first time (I wasn't on that one) they stayed in it for quit a bit On the second jump(pictured) one outer ring had ripped and was rolled up and zip tied for a grip 6 of us exited with a running out the ramp of the skyvan exit we lost one and Dave Thom (back to the camera) was almost sucked up the inside of it but flew an insanely outstanding recovery and hung on I am directly opposite Dave (not seen in the photo) but it was a blast and we held it until 9 K when the first hooper (and 300th jump celebrating dude) was on his way through and was burrbled by the lip and hit the far side riping it from everyones grip the launch was great and we (the anchors) could see each other underneath it and were laughing our collective a$$s off On Krisanne's Dragon jump I was front (head)end and Had a grip on Donny and Jason I lost Jason out the door and the handle Donny was holding came off in his hand I would pay big money to have had a camera showing Donny looking at me flashing a HUGE smile and showing me the handle I burst out laughing and watched the dragon and Krisanne, Monkeyboy, and Jason tumbling like a rock I never reached them again but had a great view!!John Fosgate "In the end, its always best to choose the hard right over the easy wrong."

monkycndo 0 #8 June 23, 2008 I was riding behind Krisanne on the Dragon. Not a fire breathing dragon mind you, but a cute one. Once it blew apart on exit, I was holding on to Krisanne for dear life. Cahill was out front and Krisanne was flying a big boxman trying to save what was left of the formation from funneling, I was in a position to try and pull myself into a rodeo position on Krisanne's back. Just as I started, Cahill went into a stand to fruitloop the rest of the formation. He said it was to try and get her face into view of his camera. I wasn't buying it. We had 7 video cameras on the jump. It would be fun to get them put together.50 donations so far. Give it a try.
