1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted January 2, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thanks Gec, Reminded me of the old Burt Lancaster movie from the late 60s. He also used a wing, but not like these, in the end he thought he could fly and took it into the ground. I made two static line jumps along time ago, what surprised me the most was how quite it was when coming down, must be a rushing sound with the suits. Wouldn't have the nerve for this but it does look excillerating, is that a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweper Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks Gec. I have seen vids like this before, but nothing as crazy like this. Absolute stunning vids. A split second wrong decision and they are "in remeberance". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
