Ladies love the Skyvan!

Recommended Posts

Women from all over will be fighting for the sweet seat this weekend at Hinckley (June 11-13)! A fast tailgate.....yummy! There will also be a canopy seminar by Lyle Presse, high altitude jumps, a hybrid challenge, and midnight volleyball (which I dominate)!

More info here.

I'm so excited! I love the Skyvan! I'm gonna try to do that bar hang thingy again! :D

Who's in???? I'm ditching work early on Friday, so if any downtown people want to catch a ride with me, let me know!
There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Well, I didn't title the thread, "Men love the Skyvan!" You're excused! :P

REAL men love the Skyvan, at least the ones that jump wingsuit. Where else can you launch a double rodeo with plenty of room or a tight 16 way wingsuit formation?
Lets hear it for the van! Can a brother get whooop whoop?

There's a different reason us women love the Skyvan;)

Val, the secret to doing the hanging thing is to get yourself in as tight of a ball as possible, kind of like you're starting a somersault, then reach down and grab the bar. Don't do like I did the first time, and lay flat on the Skyvan Floor. When you go to push yourself out, there is too much force with the legs going over that I think I hung on the bar for a split second. Just enough time to see the looks on the guy's face to my right before I fell off.

Dumb question time: which way did you grab the bar (ie palms facing toward or away from you while you hang)? Thanks for the tip, Mary! And can you believe that I've never been picked up by the grippers and tossed out the back? I want to do that this weekend, too!

Plams facing towards you. When you flip, your hands will rotate.

Yep ... sing along ... (to the tune of Somewhere Over the Rainbow)....

Somewhere over the Prairie
Skyvans fly
Boys like leaving the airplane
But girls like the seats OH MY!

The girls we like the vibration
The third seat back is so much fun for our cracks ...
