PhreeZone 20 #1 January 14, 2003 With the long winter break I've been thinking long and hard about why I take the extra risk of jumping a camera and I'm wondering how other people justify the risk.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #3 January 14, 2003 Yeah, put me down for the first four. A favorite time for me is after dinner on a jump day hooking my camera up to the TV and showing my family what I did. That way they know all the people and all the stuff I'm talking about. Sharing the experience is number one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy 0 #4 January 14, 2003 For me the most best / most favorite /most fun - of all video, is Tandem. It doesn't get much better then getting to look someone in the eye, give them a wink or grin, & shake their hand as they experience their first jump. Between getting video tadems and do them as well, life is good. Getting pics published in newspapers and magazines is pretty cool too. Yeah, there are risks involved, but the benefits out weight them big time Fuzzy Ambition / Ability: Know the difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SniperCJ 0 #5 January 15, 2003 Ma, we need multiple responses on this one. I like doing tandems for the money, but I also really like being part of that person's first jump and giving them something to remember it by. Im all pumped when I get a roll of film back and Ive gotten a really good shot. And jumping with my 4-way team gives me the competition part of it. You gotta do you job or the team might as well not have been there. Ill take the first 4 also! JC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billy 0 #9 January 22, 2003 All the above definately cover it,, I look out the window this morning and it's snowing hard,, my trucks all iced up & looks like it'll be like this for the weekend,, so I plug in my videos and relive those jumps... sharing the season in the video I made for the locals was a big hit with everyone,, even whuffo family members enjoyed seeing what they can't imagine goes on in the sky overhead,, lots of comments like "I loved it,, but not enough of me in it!!" make me really look forward to this year and learning what I can from all of you to make it even better...
