Thank-You Dave !!!!!! Much appreciation for supplying a place for us to put our creativity out there. I wouldn't havee 1/100 of the cool shit in my laptop if it wasn't for skysivingmovies.com.

YOU ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, finally had a chance to actually watch it. NICE video! That one's headed for the top list ASAP.

Dave

yes that website rocks, maybe the d00d who runs it, could burn all the vids onto dvd and sell them to recoup the bandwidth cost, I'd buy a copy for sure, I'm currently on dial up

Nice video.

Loved that sketchy waterfall landing area too.

Also found that wallstrike interesting too, was that opening fast or is it just me ?
I noticed the slider was up, but it still looked fast, also was the recovery down to skill or just plain luck ?
the canopy collapses after impact, appears to fold upside down, and I can't tell if it's front or rear risered away from the wall or just the pendulum effect.

It's good from my point of view to see how fast a shitty situation can happen though.

Glad you all got home in one piece and thanks for sharing.

i wish they showed that whole jump includeing the landing, would be interesting...

That was great canopy control, Jay who was the other guy on that waterfall 2-way?

Avery and Damian ..... ILLLLLLLL
I personally consider that object to be the most technical (in all regards) that I have personally jumped.

He actually end up with a refrigerator size rock in the nose of his canopy that falls out at the last second. The "falling out" of the boulder turns his canopy around and sets him free. The jumper landed in the center of the landing area with a sprang ankle and dislocated big toe.

BTW I know form experiance that hurts! well it was my pinky toe... but none the less

Yo Jay can you hook a brodda up w/ some viewing pleasure? I can't access skydivingmovies.

Give me a shout on the telly

Hello,
Three cheers for Jay and his crew.
On a scale of one to ten, the El Gigante trip is a solid eleven.
Imagine.........
At first light, you roll out of bed, into your rig.
50 paces from your bed is a helicopter.
On the helicopter are fresh hot breakfast burritos.
Time it takes to eat a burrito = three minutes.
Flight time to the exit point = three minutes.
When all the rigs are rightiously unpacked, you fly back to the ranch.
Or if you feel the need, save one pack-job for a jump into the ranch.
Then it is lunchtime. 5 star meals.
The afternoon is for siesta, packing, telling lies.
Then dinner. 5 star.
No electricity (no problem) so bedtime is early.
Did I mention that this goes on for days and days?
Disclaimer: low experience level jumpers need not apply.
This is a very demanding site, you gotta have it ALL going on.
Bring a sense of humor, you will need it, Mexico is a soup sandwich.

Only people like you make the MaGiK happen. It was a real honor to host two such amazing groups of people. I only hope that all of our path cross as often as possible. I can only stress my deepest appreciation to all the people who have come down and shared these trips with us over the last few years. From Ray and Matt to today....... it's been like flying thru a cloud full of adventure that has yet to end. I can only thank everyone for being so talented , and JEDI.
Thank you Avey,Brian, Jeremy,Jason,Tom,Blair,Drew,Donovan,Rook, and our trusty guides Damian, Blake,Gabriel, and HEAD HANCHO BEN for the safest and most productive year yet. YOU GUYS FREAKIN ROCK!!!!!!!

Thank you JAY this was one of the best trips of my life, and watching the video again, brings back all the good memories.
