grimmie 186 #53 May 29, 2008 The King Air was Perris Valley's. Jim Wallace was Swayze's stunt double for jumping. Patrick showed up at the DZ one day and the word spread like wildfire, pre cell phone days! There is an old Parachutist article about the jump sequence filming. I'll try to dig it out of the box in my garage. I think Jeff Jones and some other Perris regulars were in it. One of the movie's producers used to jump with us. He broke a finger really badly on an exit and stopped jumping after that. Business at the DZ's worldwide went through the roof. A lot of wannabes wanted to just put on a rig and jump. Some AFF jumpers thought they were going to get 5 minute freefalls over Lake Powell!! It was pretty comical at the school for a while! Skydiving has been waiting a long time for another "I gotta jump, that's too cool" movie. It's weird how Terminal Velocity, Dropzone, Cutaway (bad script, cool skydive scenes) youtube, etc have done nothing like Point Break did for skydive students. I'm too young to know the effect the "Gypsy Moths" had on jumping. Nick DG will have to fill us in on that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
