PhreeZone 20 #1 November 26, 2003 Ok... so after a very drunken conversation around the campfire Saturday night and being told by one of the best RW jumpers on the DZ that a couple of us freefliers showed real raw talent in RW if we would only do it... Sunday rolls around and we are jumping in the nice weather so 2 freefliers and 2 RW jumpers go up on a 4 way. This video is the result... and its not one of the Freefliers getting tossed off at exit either! I was pretty happy with myself for not screwing up too bad Which ones in the video are the freefliers?

dove 0 #2 November 26, 2003 I'm guessing the two who aren't in black. Damn those belly jumps last for freakin' EVER! Fall in dove. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newshooter12 0 #3 November 26, 2003 my guess is the two RW jumpers have the matching suits? anyone else going to guess... matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #4 November 26, 2003 Rule one to be a freeflier is you have to wear the loudest colors possible. Jamie's suit is so bright it actually glows in pictures and video. I'm across from him in the black. I forgot how much fun RW can be That was a FAST skydive... about half the time as a normal one for me Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #5 November 26, 2003 WHAT matching suits? None of those jumpsuits match anything! Anyway, this may not be a fair question because we don't know the skill level of all the jumpers involved. So, what you think might be an experience RW jumper -may- be the experienced FF jumper, but the RW jumpers just may be even less experienced. That said, here are my guesses: The most experienced guy is the one with the white top and dark bottom jump suit. I'm going to guess he's actually the LO. The next most experienced guy is the guy in white. I'm going to assume these are both the RW guys. The guy in green comes next, but he's a freeflyer with some RW experience. Maybe he didn't do FF right off AFF. The guy in the black jumpsuit with white grippers is the least experienced of all of them and I have to assume he is a FF guy. The camera flyer is a FF guy mostly that got rooked into shooting this RW load. Like I said -- just a guess and doesn't mean anything.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrongWay 0 #6 November 26, 2003 Hey, I also heard lots of good stuff about how ya did!! Keep up the good work, don't let it go to your head. BTW, you're not a freeflyer anymore, you're purely a part man/part bird. (I refrain from using the term "BirdMan" due to copyright laws, see section 5.2342.36543-9 for details......)

rehmwa 2 #7 November 26, 2003 I'm agreeing with Quade. White top, and all white are the RW, they are the least zoomie. No exit in this video, so it's hard to tell 'why' the guy in white either fell off or was thrown off. However, the other two are doing very nicely if they aren't normally doing RW. Also, it's just me, but I'd also say the RW types are the two in the full faces and the FF are the one in the open faces. ...

Remster 30 #9 November 26, 2003 I didnt see any freaks in that video, just a bunch of jumpers in the proper position . Nice jump ErkRemster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #10 November 26, 2003 Clockwise: Jumper in white - LO for the jump with about 1200+ RW jumps and a handfull FF Black with Silver grippers: Me with about 10 RW this year and no more then 100 total. Grey and black: about 250-300 RW and one FF Green and Yellow: About 450 jumps evenly split Freefly/RW Camera: 3000+ jumps, probally 1100+ RW camera jumps. Exit timing was really odd and no one saw the exit count as the OC in white left we all got drug out with him. Point is a really weird place for me to launch from being 6'2" After doing the jump then watching the video its making me want to use my tunnel time this winter on RW instead of the Freefly like I was going to.

Squeak 17 #15 November 27, 2003 I agree with Paul, But I'm not certain that the guy in the white tyop is the most experienced , maybe the guy in all whiteYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
