OT: Supersonic skydiving

Re: OT: Supersonic skydiving

Sweet! Should I hold onto some purple and neon green fabric for you?

Where are you jumping?

Nah, besides my screen name is in reference to the Red Baron, not Voodoo. I'll probably go mostly black with some orange and silver accents. I started jumping at Skydive Westex last year (Tiny Cessna drop zone in the middle of nowhere TX), but I had to lay off for a while due to work travel and other projects. I'm going to start back next month, but at a different DZ probably. The rigger that was at Westex is a dealer for ya'll so I'll probably order through him.

Here is a video showing the ins and outs of the parachute rig that will be used. It starts about 5 minutes in.
