The Kiss Pass was very well entrenched in skydiving when I started in 1973 (in Idaho). The genders of the giver and receiver were unimportant. Sooner, rather than later, a new jump pilot would get one on exit. We always made sure it was from a guy, as we just wanted to shock/disturb/confuse the pilot.
Perhaps this is the great down side to the full-face helmet.

Our DZ is just north of Michigan International Speedway. We often get pilots for NASCAR drivers coming from southern states with nothing to do until Sunday night, after the races, Alot of them jump too. We had one on a load that went a little low and back a few feet looking lonely . At break off I swooped him and gave him a kiss pass. After landing and walking back I saw him wiping his mouth with the back of his glove. After spitting he said "Ya dont never kiss a good ole boy".Later he said thanks at least he got to touch somebody in freefall. Their back home fall rate was faster.It was always good for a case of beer when Mr Macho had to admitt he got his first kiss pass from a guy.

This tradition has been pretty much killed off by full-face helmets. Too bad!

Hi Lady,
Everyone pretty much nailed the tradition. On the subject, the late Nancy Doyal used to log all her kiss passes and for a hundred kiss passes she started the "Gold Lips" award. Even gave out numbers. I think she even had a little stamp shaped like lips.
PS she 's the lady who kisses Norman's camera in "Freak Bros'" video.

I don't know where or when they were invented, but my first one was in 1973 over Z-Hills. I think it was a weekday and not many people there, so this girl (Paula Zitzelburger) asked me to go up and do some two way with her. After maybe two of the maneuvers, she pulls me in and we make out for the rest of the dive. Fantastic! (she was beautiful BTW).
Maybe they were invented on both sides of the country at the same time

I love kiss passes. I think it's a very sweet gesture. Of course, now that I have a full-face, it's either I'm forewarned so that I can borrow an open face (or go without a helmet) or end up getting my face shield licked. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

Not necessarily , Tim.
I was doing a jump at Cal City, at their grand opening, a hundred years agoand a guy named Jim Carr swooped in and planted one on me....yuck, yuck patooey !
Been there, done that. Both ways I might add...though women are a lot more fun. And the name is Tom.

Nancy Doyle ? I remember her from Elsinore and Perris. Sorry to hear of her passing.
The most excitement I ever witnessed on a kiss-pass, was when I pinned Larry Yohn, and laid a big old lip lock on him. Damn, I thought he was gonna pass out. It was also his SCR jump so it was extra special for him. He could hardly wait to buy the case of beer and celebrate. That was a fun night at Perris. But then, all Perris nights were fun.

I somehow remember my first kiss pass from way back in the day (log books really are kinda handy...). I've no idea how the tradition got started, but after I got mine I asked the burly bearded dude what the hell that was all about and he told me to relax, it's a tradition. I said really? His response was something to the effect of " Yeah, it's tradition... and us instructors use it to help us judge just how aware you students are in the air. Sometimes, students don't even remember it happening." I'm like 'wow... really?' and he's like "Yeah, really... that and the coolers are empty and I like Budweiser. If ya hurry back, you can make the sunset load!"

It probably started from watching too much Bugs Bunny.

Actually I "met" Mark over Perris. We went through some thick industrial haze, my goggles fogged over, and all I could dimly see was the mustache.
