YESTERDAY I JUMPED....

**snowfire** · 11-18-2003, 02:57 PM

out of an airplane from 15,000 feet up, over Lake Taupo and a bunch of volcanic mountains. It was FUCKING AMAZING.

And that is all I have to say about that.

Did you land it?

**iskibc** · 11-18-2003, 03:29 PM

Did your bindings release upon impact? How big was the bombhole?

**Beaver** · 11-18-2003, 04:17 PM

Was the plane on fire?

Sounds like alot of fun.

**altagirl** · 11-18-2003, 04:27 PM

Jealous. That sounds like a blast!

Out of an airplane? A perfectly good airplane? That's crazy!

Actually, I think that's soooo cool. Partly cause I'll never do it, I don't think.

Must have been a great feeling! Did you get that wacky helmet cam footage they do sometimes?

Thanks funny cause I think the first time I jumped this summer, I was more scared in the damn airplane than jumping out of it.

Is it a bad sign when you plane has bondo on the wing?

There is no way I wanted to land in that thing.

Guess it could of been worse - could of been duct tape. On second thought....

**bad_roo** · 11-19-2003, 01:50 AM

Was is a quantas flight? they seem to lose wings and engines and stuff like that all the time.

did you see that really big, snowy mountain just south of there?? the skiing is still great.

sheesh, You shoulda stopped at Ohakune on the way by! I offered an invitation to cook dinner for any maggot who visits me in new zealand. it still stands.

Offer expires friday night though, as I fly back to the good 'ol U. S. of A that evening.

wanna hang in auckland? help my demolish my perfectly good van? (fast, but un-warrant-able and therefore unresellable)

and If anyone else has any suggestions as to how to kill a toyota van in an aftenoon of boredom and pleasure please let me know.

(esp. roo)

oily rag in gas tank + brick ready to fall on accelerator + oceanside cliff

Light the rag, hit the brick onto the gas with a stick, and if you time it right and you have a firey hucking minivan of death. Just warn all the seals below. Video of this is a must.

There's always the office space approach...

Or go somewhere rather public, and charge $5 for 3 minutes with the van and a sledgehammer.

Me and my mates had the same question when we were about to leave. Unfortunately, the car was in the hands of someone who thought any destruction was a bad idea, so it was sold for $40 NZ to a scrap yard. We offered her $100, but she said no. Stupid morals.
