christoofar 0 #3 September 30, 2004 You know, the only way I would do that (go to 16,000' in ballons) was wearing a rig. That would a an AWESOME skydive, not to mention one that doesn't bust out your eardrums (calm and serene) ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

turtlespeed 226 #4 September 30, 2004 sure would be expensive - but it wouldn NOT be noisy. Get to altitude and cutaway the balloons.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jumpmunki 0 #7 October 3, 2004 looks like a cheap way to get to altitude i love this bit ... Cluster balloons, like all balloons, are aircraft that require skill and training to operate safely. BWAHAHAHAHA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themitchyone 0 #8 October 4, 2004 Thanks for the link. That was very cool. But imagine trying to get 20 friends to help just so only you would get the ride "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unstable 9 #10 October 4, 2004 Hmmm, That would be a hoot to use an intentional cut-away harness to attach yourself to those balloons. Wouldn't be too hard to get yourself to a couple thousand feet...... I'll stop thinking before I hurt myself.....=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
