  • awesome... I can't wait to jump overseas... were there any people who landed way off target?

  • We did a similar jump in '99 with 572 jumpers and everything went very well. This 2004 jump was different because the wind was very stong at about 1000+ feet. Several jumpers misjudged the wind strength and did miss the landing field. I see you are a relative beginner so here's something you can learn from this jump: the turbulence generated by the wind blowing over the srrounding buildings and trees caused many very experienced jumpers to land hard-be careful landing downwind of tall obstacles!

  • Amazing that there were no canopy collisions!

  • at 5:08 that one guy came flying in I wasn't sure if he was going to land, but then you turned  :( that was a great video nonetheless!

  • Great video Mary,

    How was the pucker factor on that jump? 1- 10 it looked about an 9. See you soon.

  • wow! That looked beautiful! but i would be too stressed with 671 more canopies in the air...i would probably hop n pop and land last lol :)
