Recommended Posts

Okay, that's the one i was looking for... but "he has no hands-- how's he gonna pull" cracked me up.... the alti wouldn't stay on anyway! I know there's a ton you can find (it's a cartoon!)--- but the shadow on the ground threw me off as he is not under canopy yet.

Conway, I'm around... I'll have Amanduh point you out! See ya!
i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce

He could pull all he wants, it doesn't seem that his container has any openings! Silly man!:|

If that's s'posed to be his shadow.... it's in the wrong place...
The shadows on his body imply that the original light source would probably be above and to HIS left, yet he's casting a shadow that is left of him..

Sadly I have a plain old black/dark grey shadow like everyone else.

I refused to video this guy because I thought his lack of opposable thumbs to be unsafe.

One of the other, less conscientious videographers noted that there's nothing in the BSRs about having opposable thumbs. He even encouraged the jump. I don't want to name them, but it rhymes with bomb willups.

Anyway, just as I feared, and just as Tom hoped, the jumper in the picture went in with no handles pulled.

Tom is in negotiations with Surreal TV right now.
Stay tuned.

Since the shadow seems to be one of the many interesting things about this, I feel the need to relay a story:

At breakoff during a 4-way, I was tracking off. Unfortunately, winds were higher up top than anticipated and at breakoff I was tracking towards a cloud (scattered clouds, with none above so the sun was shining). I got enough distance separation and stopped my track so I would not be tracking through it. And then I saw what looked like another person through the haze of the cloud! For a second I freaked out; I thought I was about to get hit by an opening chute. I was wrong.

It was just my shadow. :)
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

His Harness is pink.
He doesnt appear to have any eyes, ears, nose, or mouth.
As was stated before - there are no fingers or thumbs.
His Cypress did not function - that is obvious because the apparent "ground" has his shadow on it - roughly calculated - he is 30' above the ground.

and last but not least - he doesn's seem to be falling very fast. I mean - I was looking at this guy for a good 5 minutes - hasn't moved much at all. He might just make it.
I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama
