pleifer 0 #1 January 29, 2004 I was wondering if it has ever been done like tie a water ski tow rope to the plane and skysurf behind it. This has my curosity maxed. what about using like a bungee cord so that the slam on the arms would not cause problems? Would anybody try this? _________________________________________ The Angel of Duh has spoke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #3 January 29, 2004 I'm sure I've seen video of Patrick De Gayardon doing this on one of the early Travelling films or similar. I've done it from a S/L to get photos of a students perpective of a hangup. I used a climbing sit harness and a karabiner thru my chest strap to keep me head up. I just cut the S/L with a hook knife. It was pretty easy to stay stable.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

gus 1 #4 January 29, 2004 There's a Senseless Acts Of Video with Troy Hartman on a wakeboard. Was that behind a helicopter though? GusOutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #5 January 29, 2004 There are a couple videos on skydivingmovies.com (coming soon!) of wingsuits getting towed behind planes. One attempt behind a 182 or 206, don't remember, by Joe Jennings. The plane wasn't nearly fast enough, and he hung way below the plane. The other one is Felix Baumgartner behind a B-25. He was a bit unstable, and the swinging around did some damage to the tail end of the fuselage and eventually broke the climbing hardware holding him to the plane. Video ends with the car pulling up to some random house in germany where felix is drinking wine with a family wherever he landed. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was done with a helicopter. And I think I have a video somewhere of Joe Jennings 'bodysurfing' behind a plane- just a camera suit on, no board.

goose491 0 #8 January 29, 2004 QuoteThis has my curosity maxed. what about using like a bungee cord so that the slam on the arms would not cause problems? A friend and I were once discussing the possibility or a Winch that could let you out on a water-ski-type rope. There would be no 'slam' if you exited right and were fed more and more rope by the winch... it would also facilitate bringing the rope back into the plane afterwards.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #10 January 29, 2004 I am not sure which sensationalist show had it on, but there were two people that were towed behind either a 182 or a 206. They were let out on cables by winches out either side of the plane. It looked completely gay. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is on "Good Stuff" Is that the one with the yellow (I think) camera suit where he's swinging below something out-of-frame and then he disconnects and falls away? Or is there a different shot that's longer? -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dustin19d 0 #16 January 30, 2004 Yep thats the one. He cuts away from the tow rope, falls for a while, checks his wrist alimeter then the movie cuts to another scene. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
