Jumpah 0 #26 April 12, 2007 QuoteP.S. Tim's one of the nicest and creative guys you'll ever meet. I second that...I jump at the DZ he's at mostly, and when he heard I was starting to jump camera I got an email from him saying 'dude, talk to me before you jump...I don't want you getting hurt'.

kkeenan 14 #27 April 12, 2007 QuoteOnly having one tandem makes me a "whuffo" now? How many jumps do I have to have to lose this "whuffo" status? Since you ask, in my opinion, stepping out of an airplane by yourself changes that status. You wouldn't get out of the back seat of an airliner and tell people you're a pilot, would you ? I don't mean to insult you, just to clarify things. "Whuffo" is not necessarily an insult. (Some of my friends are whuffos.) Good luck with your training if you continue with AFF.

diablopilot 2 #29 April 12, 2007 As to the hanger swoop, Tim is a pretty damed experienced canopy pilot and was attempting a stunt that went wrong. Good on him, and that's what comes sometimes from pushing the edge. Of course Tim does's seem to find and go over that edge alot.As to the two goofballs sucking it down on a freefly jump? I'm guessing they're pretty inexperienced, so yeah, it appears to be a pretty dumbassed thing to do. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

pinkfairy 0 #30 April 13, 2007 Wow, that freefly thing was scary. They said 3500' and that was what they got according to one of the guy's altimeter. (shit I had to go get my own, I'm so uncurrent I don't see that straight away) You've got altitude, and some of it has to be left for deploying yur canopy and landing safely. If you wanna do it again, I mean. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

brianfry713 0 #31 April 13, 2007 You can see the stunt junkies clip here, scroll down to the correct episode. http://dsc.discovery.com/beyond/player.html?playerId=203711706&categoryId=208816812&lineupId=164950249 Episode 18: AIRPLANE HANGAR SWOOP Joao Tambor would like to execute a hangar swoop. For this stunt, he will perform a skydive and then open his parachute to swoop end-to-end through an airplane hangar. Joao will have to gauge his line exactly right to fit into the hangar's entrance, as his clearance from the doors' edges will be extremely tight in all directions. He will then have to maintain his course in order to successfully exit through the hangar's doors on the opposite side. Adding to this stunt's difficulty, Joao must sustain flight (in a precise line) without any current. At any moment Joao's canopy could collapse, crashing him to the ground, or any miscalculation could send his canopy into dangerous objects. Joao has never successfully accomplished this stunt as he has always had to touchdown within the hangar, but with determination and precise timing Joao may finally make his once-thought-impossible dream come true.
