I have a nice video I got from TomBuch on Bridge Day '83. I guess it was on tv at one time.

If anyone shows intrest I will compress it and through it on skydivingmovies.com.

I asked tom and he said put it where ever but i figured I would ask first.

I'd like to see it!

Coco

please uplaod

Should be ready in about 45 minutes.

I'll post a link when its done.

Check out the long delay at 11:39 and TomBuch's wrap
at 11:51

thanks for posting!

well looks like we will have to wait a bit. Gave me an error message when it finished the upload.

I'll try and get it sorted asap.

Johnny, I think its the single quote you have in "Bridge Day '03". Try without that?

OK its says its there but has to be approved. So when That happens I will THEN post a link.

Approved!

Sweet!!! Thanks for your help and enjoy the video.

Also I checked out the early 90s national geographic video and saw TomBuch running the show there. Very cool.

Hi,
With who i can contact about problems with uploading files?
Can anyone give me e-mail to people from skydivingmovies.com?

u should contact him

hi,
thanks.
i just send PM to him with solution ;-)

Thanks for posting that Johnny!

Some familiar faces in there too! (Nigel and Andy )

That was a short delay (3sec) but a very long pc hesitation (canopy out at 8.5seconds) and what looks like a reserve deployment at the same time as the main deploys.

I'm guessing he either had a standard skydiving pilot chute or a short bridle. 100ft less altitude and he'd have been dead.

But then he learned the hard way so we don't have to.

thanks for posting that.

And I've emailed them to let them know, so they can see how baby-faced they were!

You should use the contact form on the website.

PilotDave is away at the moment until the 23rd. In the meanwhile, I am managing the site and you can PM me.

But it seems that you managed to upload the file in the end Olek and I have approved it! Very urban!

I just send PM to you.
Sorry for not useing contact form, but i missed it.

There was second film which i can't uplad becuase i use character ' in the description.

Thanks,
Olek

This jumper was Rick Costa from upstate NY. I think he had the record for low deployment for quite a while after this jump. I attended my first bridge day the year after with about 100 skydives and was told to not hold the pilot chute in your hands all day while waiting to jump. It seems that the combination of a small PC and sweat don't make them work to well Nice form though!

I have about 3-4 hours of footage from 1983 and 1984. If you were there and you'd like a copy, just email me. It was transferred from VHS to DVD last year.
