steveorino 7 #1 May 22, 2006 I should hit jump # 1000 in a week - 10 days. What should I do? Here are some info to help you decide. 1) I jump video at a one cessna DZ. 2) I have over 750 video jumps. I'd rather video a 3 way RW than be the 4th in a RW jump. 3) I can sit very well, but there are few freeflyers at our DZ close to my fall rate. 4) 7 attempts at my SCR but no cigar (I've been in on all of them, but someone was always out) plus, no guarantees for another cessna) 5) I can't go to a bigger DZ as I work at ours I wanted to video my wife doing a tandem with another videographer videoing me videoing her, but she won't jump. I thought about asking another relative to jump. 2 of my kids have 2 haven't (one, like his mom, won't!) Any cool ideas? steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gofast_ER 0 #3 May 22, 2006 do a 1000-way. oh wait, that wouldn't be possible. Or would it? I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #4 May 22, 2006 "5) I can't go to a bigger DZ as I work at ours " Somehow I don't think your DZO would bitch about you taking a couple of personal days off, eh? Come to Monroe, GA...we'll fix you up...but good! Yeah, I know, not possible but it's fun thinking about it! I'm still thinking on viable suggestions...give me a day or twoMy reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Pop high and give the rest of the people you are jumping with time to get down to the ground. Set up a line of people friends and family included.....as you come in the landing swoop past the line. Catch being that all people in the line have pies. Let the flinging begin. ------ Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh.

I did a Mr Bill back on my 500th jump. We used a friend of mines tandem rig and i put the harness on backwards underneath my rig. When we exited, he threw out, and when open he relaesed me and i climbed up on his shoulders. When we got to about 5000 feet i did a swan dive off his shoulders and opened at 3000. Now the DZO knew what we were going to do and he told me afterwards that there was a grandma there who was going to watch her grandaughter do her first tandem on the next load, and that she was watching. He said that she thought we were doing a reguler tandem and that when i jumped off that she screamed out, "Oh my god.....he dropped him" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JohnRich 4 #15 May 22, 2006 My advice would have been to keep it a secret so that you don't receive massive cream pie abuse.
