I miss deep brakes on a good old skydiving canopie! Nice trow Nick!

nick, you seriously have an old skool ass moustache in that video. rock on

Was the blue black with red canopy an interceptor? You landed it it rather well

Deep brakes is an understatement... :-)

I was just thinking today about the video you showed me when the guys made a little music video on a windy day...

AND I had the amazing pleasure of meeting Anne just last weekend. That girl is amazing, just wow.

>>Was the blue black with red canopy an interceptor? You landed it it rather well <<

Yes, that was a brand new Precision Interceptor. It was before there were any real BASE canopies available. And the Interceptor was, because it was built for CRW, one of the few skydiving canopies built with any decent reenforcement. (In this case in the nose, tail, and in the center cell.)

In those days we were doing mostly slider down building jumps and figured we'd be all right as long nothing blew up.

That third jump where I landed hard was a left side Zoo Toggle being stuck and I just creamed in where I knew it was soft, but also dry, as the water was freezing cold.

We had a lot a trouble with toggles in the 80s . . .

Nick, I think you should reinstate the 'tash, at least for special occasions
