Deleted 0 #1 June 7, 2001 i'm trying to find some skydiving videos, particularly some with a lot of swooping footage, but i'm having a hard time finding some. what are some good videos out there, and where is a possible place i could rent some? do you have to find specialty shops? i've checked blockbuster's "miscellaneous" section, and a few other sporting goods places around town (i live in memphis, tn), but nothing's turned up yet.....any help would be great!

skybytch 273 #2 June 7, 2001 As far as I know the only videos with any skydiving in them that are available to rent are Cutaway, DropZone, Terminal Velocity...If you want real skydiving videos you're gonna hafta buy 'em. Most of the larger gear dealers have a good selection available - http://www.square1.com is a good place to start Some to get - Flyboyz Party Mix, Crosswind, Good Stuff, any of the Chronicles series...pull and flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zennie 0 #3 June 7, 2001 Chronicles III is great but way too short for the $35 price tag. Good Stuff is cheaper and longer.How long is Crosswind?------------Blue Skies!Zennie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #4 June 7, 2001 QuoteHow long is Crosswind?52 minutes, $49.95... a bit under a dollar a minute, not including shipping of course But! Worth every penny. Some of the coolest canopy swooping, wing suit flight, BASE, freeflying and world class RW ever caught on film. Patrick Passe is one of the world's finest skydiving photographers and his experience and ability really show in this tape.[sales pitch off]pull and flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RemiAndKaren 0 #5 June 8, 2001 Didnt see it on the square one site, but Antigravity by Patrick Passe is great... its a bit old now (gotta be 4 years) but the swoop section with Rickster are great... the rest of it is very good too: 8 way French vs US when only 1 point split them , 3 way skysurf , Pilatus/Freestlye , and theres gotta be other stuff but I dont remember it all...

Dutchboy 0 #6 June 8, 2001 I bought this when I was in Gay Valley (or is it Gay Perris?). Anyway, this video is really cool. Didn't like the $50 price, so it isn't as good a value as Good Stuff, but definitely has more swooping.The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RemiAndKaren 0 #7 June 8, 2001 mmm making me want to get that Crosswind from P Passe... I agree, he makes excellent videos.What did other people think of Norman Kent's latest: willing to fly?Extremely good parts in it, but overall it left me felling "mmmm, gimme more jumping, less introspective-new-age-wonderings". IMO.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
