Hey forgot to add intro!

My game name is sabayon. I’ve been playing ET for 5 years. My old name i used for long time was Godfather and Mastermind but that’s not very creative now is it! :smiley: I created account here in 07 or 06 but forgot under what name lol…

I’m from the United States and will be stationed somewhere in Europe Next year with the Air Force and will probably be stationed there for around 4 to 5 years.

My hobbies are going paintballing, but I recently stopped doing that as much a couple months back and now sky dive around once a week or more. Just got my full license and have done 32 solo jumps so far. :slight_smile:

oh and I’m 18 years old. Cheers!

Here’s a pic of me skydiving my first time so ya can match a picture with the name :wink:

I’m guessing Germany since there are some Large Air Force bases there. But they won’t tell me exact place till closer to date.

lol yea I’m one on bottom. Was my first jump so they made me do a tandem jump. The camera jumping next to us was being funny and I was yelling back to him lol (tho he couldn’t hear me xD ). Probably why he got funny pic of my face :cool:

Here’s what your hair looks like when your free falling at 122mph (196 kph) :smiley:

Skydiving - you’ll only see me doing it when a giant meteorite is going to hit earth… then again, I wouldn’t bother taking the effort to bring a parachute along

Can’t imagine how you’re able to breathe with the huge amount of wind rocketing in your face ^^

(Sabayon) #11

Ha… That’s what they tell you in the training videos :smiley:

Always breath through your nose and not your mouth when free falling. Or else you’ll loose your breath :eek:

Skydiving pro:
Hey shag, wasn’t that fun?

Skydiving pro:

Only the pro jumper wears the helmet in a tandem jump. If I wore one they risk me cocking my neck back and hitting him in head lol. So only the main jumper does it on those. :slight_smile:

Solo Jumps, i always have to wear helmet for safety.

Do you have any videos of you skydiving?
The feeling you have, must be like you’re sitting in a 20 minute version of Dr. Dooms’ Fear Fall

This is the video from the same jump as the pictures. I’ve only had a camera man go with me once because it cost around 120$ to have them jump and take pictures next to you. :eek:

skip to 3:16 in video for the jump part. All the other crap is what the sky diving place put there for filler lol… It was so windy that day that they wouldn’t let anyone do solo skydives. So we are shaking all over the place in the air lol. First time skydiving right there :slight_smile:

Now that was beyond awesome, great video!
Can you do solo flights too?

That was my first time skydiving. I’ve done 33 solo jumps since then.

The guy attached to me there. I remember him saying it was his 1,000th jump. :slight_smile:
