The absolute most amazing experience I've ever had...and recommend it to anyone. It's not like you'd expect....

I never did either...till I saw Trace do it.

That's cool! Skydiving has been on my to-do list for a while, just haven't gotten to it yet. Looks like I need to up it on my priority list, you had WAY too much fun!

[Ken]

Wow Eric...I would have thought you would have had a chute in the closet.

Yeah...for YOU...I'd say it's a must.


A friend of Lori's, Ken Meyer says the Davis place is the best one around.

[Kendo]

Wow Eric...I would have thought you would have had a chute in the closet.

I would have laid money on it!

I wanna go too, just gotta drop a few more pounds first.......

I have ~20 static line (US Army) and 5 free fall now under my belt. I may get some more in this summer (money providing).

GG, as was mentioned, I too thought you would have done this already.

250 G money.....Start riding that bike....and you'll watch it drop off.

You would have won your bet Kendo, because I DO have a chute in my closet. Two, actually:



That's my old emergency chute for hang gliding. I bought a newer one that has a swivel in the bridle, more-better because it is less likely to collapse from the canopy lines twisting up when me and the glider spin below it during descent.

We carry those inside a pocket on the chest of our harnesses. If the schumer hits the fan, you grab the big red handle, tear the chute out of the velcro-ed pocket (in it's deployment bag), and throw it out into clear air. Bag flies off, chute opens. Theoretically...

Neither chute has been used. Thankfully. Hopefully they never will be used. Conical chutes with no direction control, you just come straight down.

I'd be happy to sell that purple one to Ken for his next jump. Looks like it would match his jump suit quite well!

[Wildhorse800]

I am sure they will replace those if they don't work

Awesome vid, Ken.

Nobody dies having done everything, but you are definitely squeezing in as much as possible.

I think I'll just stay on the ground...
