TomAiello 26 #1 August 13, 2003 Yep, I owe beer. This was the first time I had ever cut away a parachute. Check out the video Hey, everyone else posts cheesy videos of their firsts, so why can't I?

There ya go, yet another on a good sized list of things you've done that I haven't...a cutaway.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

TomAiello 26 #5 August 13, 2003 It's in quicktime. Is that the problem? I haven't looked at it from a PC, just my (mac) laptop. I'm travelling, so I haven't much time to troubleshoot just now. edit: Here's the url, in case I did something wrong with the link I put up: http://homepage.mac.com/tbaiello/iMovieTheater8.html-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #7 August 13, 2003 Yeah, I can't get it now, either. I suspect that I posted, and enough people ran over to look that it crashed my little web site. Give it some time and it should be back up. I really think it's worth watching the video--it was a pretty unusual cut-away.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #9 August 13, 2003 A short description: Two (single canopy) BASE rigs. 1500 foot cliff. McConkey. Cutaway at around 700'. The best part of the video is listening to one of my friends saying "I really didn't think that was going to work..."-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #12 August 13, 2003 I'm now uploading the video to the skydivingmovies.com ftp server. I'm uploading three videos, McCutaway (my cutaway), Smell (a rather impressive wingsuit flight--not by me, as I fly like a brick anvil) and Lysefjord (another wingsuit flight).-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #15 August 13, 2003 Cool video! Must have been an odd feeling chopping a BASE canopy...especially one that appeared to be flying well.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #20 August 13, 2003 Nice 'save', sir. Do you think we should bring back the intentional cutaway for our U.S. "D" license if someone hasn't had one before then? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #21 August 13, 2003 Looks like the cutaway vid failed. You can try again, or I can grab it off your site after work today. Sorry, can't move the vids out of /uploads/ till i'm home so they won't be accessible till later today. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
