Sangi 0 #52 November 29, 2008 Oh well There are people who are truely talented There aren't many people like Travis or Scot... So I doubt that every 100 jump jumper will start doing this and anyway, as the article said, it's hard to find people who will do this with you...

MarkTL 0 #55 November 29, 2008 I want to thank everyone for their replies... I am not doing this to be brave or impress anyone but rather for myself. If this event does happen for me it will not be recorded on camera or talked about. It is something completely personal that I wanted to do for a long time. It will push me beyond my limits. Jumping out of a plane without a parachute is the ultimate mind and body experience( for me). Your mind telling of all the dangers while your body just wants to jump. I know most people wont understand this but that's how I feel. I am not planning on doing this any time soon as I am still a novice skydiver but hopefully some time in the future I will do this...Live life with no regrets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keithbar 1 #57 November 30, 2008 that was some crazy shit. and i'd advise anyone against it. but I would bet that the something that flew off was the can he took a swig out of and had in his hand when he exited. see littering thats another reason not to do it. i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrewwhyte 1 #59 November 30, 2008 Quote I'm sure no jumper with 100 jumps will start doing chuteless jumps or start standing on a tandem, they can't even decently backfly or sitfly anyway Uhm, you realize that sitflying and backflying are completely useless skills on a chuteless jump. Well maybe you don't. I suppose they could be used to show off during the chuteless jump, just in case you were getting bored with a regular chuteless jump and needed to jazz it up a bit.

It'll go easier on skydivers in the media. Besides, there are several "chuteless" skydives, but I've never heard of a chuteless BASE jump. Why not be the first?

keithbar 1 #62 November 30, 2008 the 1st time I remember it was when they tossed out a weighted copper pot that was small drouge stabilized with a belly wart reserve on it and the guy dove down to it wearing a full harness with extra long risers going down his arms. hell this was prob. the days b4 velcro. I'll bet their were snaps on them. and he allready had the hooks in his hands. I allways thought if and this is a BIG if nothing went wrong that shouldn't be that tough. hell for me the toughest part would be riding that 24 ft. flat down.i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .

keithbar 1 #64 November 30, 2008 I saw a video on you tube were a couple of crazy bastards did a base mr. bill and bill wasn't wearing a rig. you could tell they were loading that canopy up and they swooped over the water at 15 20 ft. or more and the guy dropped into the water. you tell from the splash down that that guy payed for his stupidity.i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .

I hope you don't even think about doing this at X-Keys and fucking it up for the rest of us (jumpers/pilots/DZO/etc.), but most importantly, yourself. God forbid your plan wouldn't work out, why would you want to put a "wreck", and I say "wreck" because it was an intentional fuck off, not an "accident", on someone's conscience? Meaning, think of other people besides yourself.... Believe me, dreaming up fun and exciting stuff to do when we get a cubic shitload more experience is probably normal, but let's not forget that we're human, humans make mistakes, and with skydiving you may not get a second chance.... know what I mean?Always be kinder than you feel.

SkyBastard 0 #68 November 30, 2008 i equate this stunt to be no more than sitting in with a rally driver without a helmet and no seat belt. if he crashes you're dead, but it was soooo much more 'pure' to do it without the helmet and seat belt, right? sure. go for it.Dude #320 "Superstitious" is just a polite way of saying "incredibly fucking stupid".

catfishhunter 2 #73 November 30, 2008 Geez.. First no one is going to do it ANYWHERE on a USPA Dropzone so don't go all balastic teling anyone not to do it on XYZ dropzneSecond jumping out of a plane is stupid to most everyone in the world. 3rd Landing a 37' canopy is way more stupid then this STUNT to ME. 4th A big Way Head down or 400 RW people in the sky has more things that can turn to shit then this jump. 5th if just jumping out of a plane was enough we wouldn't have RW, free flying,birdman,speed skydivng,crw,style and accuracy etc etc etc So for everyone that thinks just jumping out of a plane should be enough then you shouldn't get on another load unless it is a solo flat belly. Better yet you shouldn't do anything but a Static line as that should be enough. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #75 November 30, 2008 Quote 3rd Landing a 37' canopy is way more stupid then this STUNT to ME. Perhaps, but how many times has Pastrana jumped vs Cani? How many times did Pastrana practice this stunt before the real thing? How many flights with an intentional cutaway of the 37 before landing a normal canopy did Cani make before landing the 37 the first time? (answer: lots) Yes, these stunts are interesting and exciting, but I still question how much they are "advancing" the sport. Yes, skydiving has risks, but there is a difference between highly experienced, proffessional stuntmen doing a carefully calculated, well planned and rehearsed "gag", and these kind of publicity stunts. I'd like to know how it would have been promoted if it hadn't worked out right.
