these used to be quite common among the old timer skydivers and base jumpers. if you get the chance, try to get a copy of "When Blue Skies Call" by Carl Boenish. It's some of the best crazy parachute photographer I have ever seen.

Cool video, I dug the music. On a skydive it is pretty easy to hang
upside down with your feet in your risers
and shoot some video/stills of your buds
flying their canopy right behind you.

on a really big dog 7 seven cell canopy, it wouldn't be nearly as dramatic. the guy should probably have been carrying a hook knife.

Perfect video to show that times never change.Very stealthy jump plus video camera for some poser footage in daytime of course to really get some good light...plus the hero lines of risking death.When you old school dudes have a little heartache about the new generation jumping in daylight,videos,jumping off rails or whatever just take a deep breathe and relax because people never change just better video cameras to capture the moments...plus BASE is not that bad ass anyway.
