noblesmelissa 0 #1 August 9, 2005 I saw the end of "Point Break" with Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. Now about 14 years ago, way before I tried skydiving, I thought that was the coolest movie (of course I was about 15 years old then...what did I know?). My husband and I were laughing hysterically. I love that scene when they rob the bank and are making their getaway in the airplane. They are flying low, like at 2000 feet, so they won't get detected by radar. Patrick Swayze still manages to get about 5 minutes freefall time though when he jumps... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashtanga 0 #2 August 9, 2005 I love listening to Patrick Swayze sing She's Like the Wind. It brings a tear to my eye. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ashtanga 0 #4 August 9, 2005 Remember the end of Dirty Dancing when Patrick was singing and Baby runs out to him and he lifts her and she does and arch? He was actually teaching her to skydive. This song was playing.. I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before Yes, I swear its the truth And I owe it all to you. 'Cause I had the time of my life And I've searched through every open door Till I've found the truth And I owe it all to you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliebird 0 #5 August 9, 2005 The other hilarious part about that movie is when Keanu jumps out after Patrick (whilst wearing NO gear) and then grabs onto Patrick and proceeds to have a heated argument with him in freefall. "PULL THE CHUTE!!!"... "NO!!!" I knew nothing about skydiving when I saw that movie and I STILL thought those scenes were ridiculous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmpnkramer 0 #7 August 9, 2005 It is called a Mr. Bill. Hard as hell to hold on. The cute can usually handle it. It is the person hanging on that cannot. Of course it is done higher and the other person is wearing a rig. Laters, K .The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!"

Ashtanga 0 #9 August 9, 2005 The funny thing is if someone was to do a little search for "Point Break" on here they would find 35 pages of discussion. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=forum_1&search_type=AND&search_string=Point+Break I'm sorry but it's funny when people come on here and they say, "Remember Point Break?"
