sundevil777 102 #2 August 18, 2005 When you get a chance and a few more jumps, try rolling a tube out the door. This is not a freefly tube, what I mean is that 3 or 4 people get caterpillar grips on each other, forming a loop/circle back on itself. One person has to lie on their back with their knees at the edge of the door, the others then move in over the top to complete the grips, usually grabbing the leg straps instead of grippers. Then you just roll it out the door. It is really easy with tailgate planes, just slightly harder with a side door. It is really fun to see ground-sky rotating around so fast, and you are looking at your friends laughing along with you. When you want it to stop, everyone can let go of the same side grip to make a donut formation.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember many years ago some guys (maybe british) were taking a few rows linked together out of a C-130. Doing 3 rows out of a skyvan is certainly more ambitious.
