freeflyguy 0 #1 June 25, 2001 I get to do my first demo jump tomorrow, Swooping a golf course. Yahoo!!!I promise not to crash into the nearest body of water. As tempting as that may be. But after all, they do call them 'water traps'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #4 June 25, 2001 I could do a great demo of doing a sliding landing on my ass. Other than that, I'd pretty much suck for demos, no matter how much fun it was for me. Justin"If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflyguy 0 #5 June 26, 2001 Beer!!!I made it, and had a ball. 3 of us dressed in freefly suits, and one dressed in a Gorrila costume with a cardigan, mask and all.We circled the target for 10 minutes, figured out a landing and approach, so all was well. I was first out, since I was loaded a bit heavier than the others. As soon as I had a good canopy, I noticed they had moved the "X" onto the putting green. Uh? So much for landing plan "A". So I used landing plan "B". Improvise. Set up over the pond, right turn to base, slow braked left turn around a fir tree to a short final, noticed a hump on the fast approaching green, punched it up and over, and skidded down the back side, ran it out and all was well. The other two chose to weave through the putting flags, but still came up good.Then the "Golfing Gorrilla" did his flailing exit, popped a good stilleto, and spun toward Mother Earth. All the while the anouncer was telling the crowd how we were the gorrilla's teachers, and that he had a whopping 20 jumps. He missed the target, by a mile, and dissapeared behind the trees. We got some worried stares. Then the the Real whuffo Golfing Gorrilla comes walking out of the trees with an open rig and branches stuck all over him. Our skydiving gorrila landed on the driving range.I think the drama of it all my have been lost on the high dollar golfing crowd, NBA celebrities included, but we had fun.Then we packed, loaded the van, went to the nearest airport, flew home and bailed out over our DZ.2 free jumps, and a banana. Not bad for a fun days 'work' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
