Douva 0 #51 January 13, 2005 Quote One of them told me almost exactly that. In one competition, they put chalk lines around the peas so that it looked like a giant bullseye. Then, the participants tried to do accuracy. I told a guy, "There is a light breeze so you if you face into it, you should have a soft landing. Don't try and do any low, radical turns to hit dead center. Land safely." "Dude, if I win, I get a car. I could take a broken arm for a car." "It's not your arm that may break." He was about 20ft off the ground and about to overshoot it, so he turned 45degrees (a little crosswind) and did a feet-knees-chest/face into the peas (hard). He stood up, brushed the gravel off of him and was basically unhurt, probably sore the next day. I remember the infamous Road Rules accuracy contest. Didn't one of the girls do a low turn and sustain minor injuries? I seem to recall the EMS having her strapped to a backboard at the end of the episode. That episode had a lot of skydivers pissed off. My friend wrote a pretty scathing letter to the DZ for holding an accuracy contest with AFF students.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to recall the EMS having her strapped to a backboard at the end of the episode. I was at manifest when the radio said to call for the EMTs. Manifest is not near the landing area. "What happened?" "One of the girls has injured her ankle." From the crew: "Ask who it is. It is Amaya probably." "Who is it?" "Amaya" Amaya was known as Princess Amaya. She even wore a tiara in her hair sometimes. She was absolutely hot, but she whined constantly. Any event that she lost, she whined. In a previous footrace event, she was losing so she "stumbled" and fell, thus giving her an excuse. I'm not sure what the extent of her excuse-making and whining was, but MTV has lawyers so they took every precaution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #54 January 13, 2005 QuoteHopefully RW will be better in Austin. RW Philadelphia had really lame people on it. It would be funnier if it was all skydivers. Really polar end skydivers, like a hard core FF competitor that was a gun nut, a hard core RW competitor that was extremely liberal, an old school jumper who was hardcore Style and Accuracy and a wanna be jumper/tandem queen. Man, that would be entertainment at its highest!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are the chances of finding those on a dz? Ya... now that I think about it, finding those on a dz would be almost impossible. Maybe the producers of RW need to recruit the next show from DZ.com I'm sure they could find those types of people an more here.

Douva 0 #58 January 13, 2005 QuoteIt would be funnier if it was all skydivers. I've said for years that a DZ would make a better setting for a reality show than most of the crap out there. I might consider pursuing it, if I didn't hate reality shows so much.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

AggieDave 6 #59 January 13, 2005 Quote I might consider pursuing it, if I didn't hate reality shows so much I agree, I actually wrote a paper in a communications class about that. Basically an American Chopper style of show, but set on a DZ. It would be good, if you ask me. Especially a DZ that's small enough to have personality but large enough to have a team or two. It would be cool.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
