jimmytavino 16 #14 March 20, 2003 Yeah????? well that was kind of boring...Why was there no mention of Skydive Arizona?? Or of the individual skydivers who coordinated the whole thing.?.. It was All Ripley's this and Ripley's that.,,,,, and How Ripleys,,, "brought in this aircraft," How the Skyvan "was designed JUST for this sort of thing"....anyway... My time would have been better spent reading forum posts...... That's TV for Ya' ........ sad to see that fine Helicopter get wasted,,, for such a "useless" stunt.......

skydyvr 0 #16 March 20, 2003 Quote That's TV for Ya' 3 minutes devoted to an amazing world record 300 way, and 20 minutes for a dumbass rubberband ball drop. Those Ripley's people have lousy priorities! . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lolie 0 #19 March 20, 2003 Quote It was kinda funny when they said "don't try this at home". Especially for the 300-way... I was like, oh yeah, I'm sure everyone sitting at home watching this is really thinking about gathering up their 299 closest friends, thirteen otters and a skyvan, and trying it out just for kicks... -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

flyhi 24 #20 March 20, 2003 QuoteIt was kinda funny when they said "don't try this at home". So does that mean no 4-way this weekend? No RW? No flatflying? What a loadacrap that whole thing was. I wonder if the average person was more interested in the stupid ball drop or the 300-way. I'm sure they could have found a human interest story or two in there. "Next on Ripley's Believe It or Not, 300 skydivers attempt to meet in midair. Over 200 of these people are known to have had an alcohol problem!" Too much, too little, either way, it's a problem.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFKING 4 #22 March 20, 2003 Quote I wonder if the average person was more interested in the stupid ball drop or the 300-way. Yeah....the coverage of both was fun to see, but it really pissed me off that the 300-way got about 5 minutes vs. the 30 minutes for the ball. i know the ball-drop was probably more appealing to the masses, but that 300-way probably comprised somewhere between 300,000 - 700,000 jumps worth of experience on one dive.....IT should have got the bigger build-up. Hats off again to all you world-record-setters here. Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MuffDiver 0 #25 March 20, 2003 SON OF A BITCH!!! I stayed up late because I missed the early airing of the show, then I fell asleep before the ball drop. Oh well at least I got to see the 300-way(the little bit that there was). I did catch the one quote of a lady when they were touring with the big ball, she said "everything that falls out of an airplane bounces" I guess its a good thing that we JUMP and not FALL. __________________________________________________ Don't take life too seriously.
