kevin922 0 #1 March 3, 2003 i just saw something wierd on realtv. these guys hooked themselves up to hotairballons while strapped into kyaks. went up released the kyak -- opened a chute.. then swooped into a pond in the kyak. Anyone ever seen this? Looked kinda fun :) They showed some testing in a wind-tunnel.. wasn't skyventure though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #3 March 3, 2003 Troy Hartman got tossed out of the Perris Skyvan and did a similar stunt for Senseless Acts of Video. It was weird seeing his sit suit wings strain to fly the kayak in freefall.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
