tubes and gorillas.

[tdog 0]

Being the guy who does not ask for directions when lost I am going to admit I need some help here. It appears all this 4way stuff I have been doing has been way to serious, and it is time to let my hair down some... What is a tube exit and what is a horny gorrila?

A search on skydivingmovies.com and these forums and got a lot of "noise" but no good pictures or video...

(I know what a horny dog is, oh wait, I am talking about my K9 friend who proves boys will be boys even after being chopped.)

Anyway - anyone got some good text or photo education for me???

Sorry, don't have any pics, but a tube is usually done with three people. One is laying down face up with the legs hagging out the door. The second is standing, facing the door, right over the first persons stomach and holding onto the leg harness of the person laying down. The third is right behind the second facing toward the door and grabbing the inside leg harness of the person in front. The person on the floor grabs the leg harness of the guy in the back. The person in the back pushs the form out of the plane and right away you extend you arms and legs to put you into a fast spin. Usually the form starts spinning vertically, than rolls to its side than spins horizontally. The horny gorrila, I don't know too much about.

Horny Gorilla,

Front float with leg inside the door,
Rear float with same leg inside the door wrapped around the front float's.
Inside diver with the same leg wrapped around the other 2 (or more depend on how many sky divers). Everybody out the door and you lock your legs and back fly (like in a bath tub). You sit back relax and for the most part laugh your ass off. I did this with Nick and Kim at SkyDance and we were spinning while linked up as above. We were flat laughing our asses off. This is still one of the funest skydives I have done in my brief skydiving tenure.

Ask some of your friendy neighborhood freeflyers to take you on a horny gorilla. It is a good sit jump for a freefly newbie
