Stupid Human Trick- 'Mr. Bill'
missann1320 replied to missann1320's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Hey there! I haven't been able to find any postings on a Mr. Bill... Last night we made a fair attempt at one at 8k out of 182. It failed and I have a swollen nose and bruised bod. So I'm curious on the proper way to launch one? This was our attempt: My friend Jarhead climbs out facing forward on the step and I climb out and have my bum on the strut (facing him) getting my hands on his harness and I wrap my right leg around him... He gives the count and he hesitates pulling because we began to roll a bit.. Then he finally does pull and the PC hesitates and about wraps around my foot so I let go and abort. He still had a last second grip on my harness and we SMACK real hard our noses together and then I drop off and find my swollen and bloody nose under canopy. What is the proper way to launch this? Do I need to keep my head on his chest to avoid the head smash? I welcome any thoughts, ideas, and suggestions... Thanks! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com -
How fabulous are you!! Thank you for the details and the laugh over Mr. Farmer McNasty (nice touch)! I jumped Burners set up a few months ago so I can understand the concern and the danger for me once I jump out... I'll keep using the charm to convince some pilots to take me out but still keep those lovely points in mind... Thanks again :-) Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Does anyone know any hot air balloon companies in the Napa Valley who allow us to jump? I've contact 2 already and they said noway... But how freaking cool would that be to jump at dawn or dusk over looking wine country?! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Don't buy Kurpee Suits. I did an entire weekend at Eloy... tunnel time and about 25 jumps (with 2 off landings) and it didn't hold up to how I thought it would (i.e. small snags or the elastic on the wrists being off). I just had Angela from www.freaknsuits.com design me an incredible one for only $240.00. I have heard amazing things about Freak n' Suits so if I were you I'd go that route :-) Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Thanks for all the details folks!! I really do appreciate the kick start I wrote Douva an e-mail.... If anyone else hears of anyone still rocking skysurfing out let me know... I'm willing to travel anywhere to learn correctly and safely. Thanks! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

In passing at my DZ someone said most DZ's don't have enough space to have skysurfing... is that true? Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Does anyone do raft dives at Eloy? I'm leaving today for a 3 day excursion... Are they hard to do and control? Where does the raft end up in the end? Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com
