Travman 6 #1 September 9, 2006 Congratulations to Neil "Fergs" Fergie who yesterday completed 50 jumps in one day at the Temora DZ in NSW, Australia to raise money for several charities. He completed the 50 jumps with plenty of time to spare. Go for 100 next time fergs... or 700 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #2 September 9, 2006 Feh, Jay Stokes did that before breakfast today. Seriously, that's awesome, and nice to do it so support a great cause.

Travman 6 #3 September 9, 2006 It was also great to receieve the good media coverage. Its nice when a news report on TV about skydiving doesn't start with "A skydiver was killed today..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to Know that Fergs is about 5 times older than Jay is and were they 50 birdy jumps or did Fergs lose the wingsuit for a dayYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjosparky 4 #5 September 9, 2006 QuoteYou need to Know that Fergs is about 5 times older than Jay is You need to know that Jay did 640 on his 50th. birthday.My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #6 September 9, 2006 so how much of a delay did he take? At 50 jumps, you could get reasonable altitude, maybe exceed Jay's 11 or so minutes of FF. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travman 6 #7 September 10, 2006 I believe Fergs was using a C-182 to get to height which made things move a little slower and he did it during daylight hours rather than 24 hour period. But certainly respect to both of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pela 0 #8 September 10, 2006 I just wonder how he did that? 640 jumps per 24 h ? He jumped every 2.25 min !? Can some one explain how that operation looks like? I'm not to try to say that he didn't do that, but just wonder how that whole operation looks like ;)adrenaline Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
