funks 1 #1 September 2, 2003 I think this is a decent video but my god, the guy that does the narration says some of the stupidest things..anytime me and a jumping buddy of mine need a good laugh we start quoting the guy...anyone else agree with this? If you dont know what I am talking about, please watch Crosswind a minimum of 2 times and you will see what I mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When walking to the plane, the phrase "Explorers of the relative wind.." or any other misc. crosswind quote is often heard from my lips....it's a hoot! Almost as cool as flying up to my buddy and screaming "WHO WON....!!???" after a cool 4 way JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samurai136 0 #4 September 3, 2003 I love Crosswind.Especially the narrator; he has sort of that calming "Bob Ross" quality in his voice. The only weak bits in crosswind are the music to the swoop footage under the bridge and the music to some of the base footage in france.

mccordia 74 #5 September 4, 2003 The music from Crosswind sounds a lot like well known main-stream music. Just so much different that it's not a direct ripp-off. But still, I bought the DVD (already had the Video) and the segment with rushes (35 minutes of extra footage) has all the music without comment from the narrator. So I made a crosswind audio CD for myself to play at work. You just seeee all those cool visuals when your working....just drives me more nuts the I already was...now I definately can't think about work anymore...

Tonto 1 #9 September 4, 2003 Don't get married dude... Nomatter how good she looks - you're only with her cos some other dude couldn't take her shit anymore, and if you're tired of the script... wait till you spend 20 years with the narator... If someone paid me good money to read bad nursery rhymes to skydivers... I'd do it. It's all about the money. Anything that pays for airtime is goood. tIt's the year of the Pig.
