susanjumps 0 #1 February 21, 2013 It seems like a gazillion years since alt.rec.skydiving, and I remember being on it not long after I started jumping when I saw an unforgettable image of an ash dive. I can't remember the jumper's name, but I do remember his last name started with a "C". The jumpers in the ash dive made a C formation, and the vidiographer captured the image of a "ghost" jumper - his own shadow on the ashes as they were released. Does anyone remember or have this image? I'll never forget it and would love to see it again. Sorry if this is the wrong forum - am posting in the memorial forum as well. Thanks - Blue Skies SusanErleichda! "I just wasn't myself today," Gupta commented. "I wasn't any self today. I was an egoless particle of the universal no-soul."

RhondaLea 4 #2 February 25, 2013 Jerry Carmichael Chris Fiala did the video. Here's the start of the thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!searchin/rec.skydiving/memorial$20jump$20http/rec.skydiving/IU0jyr4qZeY/ACyTFmmRYdEJ Unfortunately, all the video and stills links are broken. I wasn't able to find it elsewhere, but I'm sure someone has a copy.If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

donno 0 #9 June 25, 2014 Cool! Do you know if the shadow was planned?Quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites raftman 12 #10 June 25, 2014 No, not planned. The angles of the sun, the jumpers, the vidiot, and the timing of the release of ashes would make that almost impossible. It would be cool to try though.
