Skydiving

In less then two weeks (Saturday, August 18th) vanbergs and myself are going skydiving. Really I’m not that frightened as I should be and I’m sure it should be just amazing. We are going though Premier Skydiving in Freemont.

At this point I’m not sure if I’m going to spring for the video. Part of me thinks I should regardless of price but personally I think they are charging quite a bit for it. On the other hand if I can get a copy of the video and put Disturbed - I’m Alive to myself plummeting to the earth I think it would be worth it.

Regardless this is the best thing going on in my life right now and I’m getting more and more excited daily about free falling strapped to another man. Just like when when I shot guns, and white water rafted skydiving is something I’ve always wanted to try. Next I want to try archery and bungee jumping.

    I believe you should purchase the video. It will be a collector’s item someday when you’re dead and famous like JonBenet Ramsey.

    brb getting grave stone?

  3. 3 bun

    i would like to go to either be in the plane when you crazy idiots jump out or watch you from the ground. gg!

  4. 4 m gee

    I am so nervous for you both. But what an amazing opportunity! VBergs told me all about the free fall and such and it sounds cool as hell.

    I’m pretty excited too, vanlandw. I’m sure that once I start suiting up in the jumpsuit, I’ll be shitting mortars out of the plane. Seriously I can’t wait to see earth coming at me at roughly 127 mph. Russ, if you wanted to go just to watch, I’m sure that wouldn’t be a problem. It would definitely take much of the day though.

    Rusty, if you go to Fremont, you had better bring some masks and vicks vapor rub. Then entire area just smells awful. Seriously awful, like humans should not even be in the area awful.

    Yeah, basically the entire area of North Muskegon/Freemont smells like someone soaked a vat of rotting pig fetus in vinegar and then set it on fire with Arnold Scharzenegger’s home-made arrows from Predator.

    LOL, it’s so embarassing to know where Fremont is, not to mention to have actually grown up not too far from there.

    Be safe.

    I definitely agree with the “vat of rotting pig fetus in vinegar” however, only some places smell like it was set on fire. Other places are just filled with the utter tepid stagnation of it.

    that sounds awful - maybe i wont go after all. i can always watch the video. hey steve will you find out if it costs extra for me to go up in the plane with you guys?

    sorry couldn’t resist. :P

    russ - i will let vanbergs find that out for you…i hope it doesn’t it would be funny to see rustybom on a plane

    Russ - I doubt they would have room, especially if myself or vanlandw opt to get a video. If we do that, then he and I can’t even ride in the plane together because of how little room is in the “jump bay” or whatever you want to call it. It’s just a little biplane that they use to climb to 11,000 feet, nothing too large by any means.

  14. 14 m gee

    Do you have to sign a waiver?

  15. 15 vanlandw

    :’( - rusty you should come regardless and view from the ground. I forgot how small the planes are. Also I’m going to spring for the video….I’m just not going to buy groceries for a few weeks :-P
    m gee - I’m sure you have to sign a waver. I have health insurance so if I get owned I’m sure my Priority Health will cover any injuries.

    Also is “Freemont” that bad I’ve never been there. I’m don’t doubt it smells like Allendale on a hot muggy day

  16. 16 bun

    if you get owned the only thing covering you will be a mound of dirt and a tombstone that says “ctrl 7″

  17. 17 Kramer

    I have been to Fremont. There’s nothing there but meth labs and the Gerber baby food plant.

  18. 18 m gee

    Sometimes I am wrong, but I think WesVeee’s stone should read “ctrl 6″ which is the GD SMOOCHIE FACE on my board of keys. No? Yes? Maybe?

  19. 19 Vo

    Vanlandw’s stone should have 4 lines of text.

    Ctrl 6, Enter.
    Ctrl 6, Enter.
    Homogaysmoochie.
    Ctrl 7, Enter.

    My stone is going to say the following…

    “He was a selfless man who provided all his friends a location (vanlandw.com) to make fun of him constantly.”

    lol

  21. 21 m gee

    Your stone will say nothing because you will not perish. Done and done.

  22. 22 Vo

    It shall say, “I Was Fucking Vanlandw.”

  23. 23 m gee

    Nope, that’s what mine will say.

    I AM JUST KIDDING. THIS IS ONLY A JOKE!

  24. 24 Vanberge

    Vanlandw - disable comments on your website.

  25. 25 Vo

    Vanlandw - Disregard the previous comment.

  26. 26 m gee

    Is Vanberge requesting comment disable-ment because of my comment? I am sorry. I was trying to make a funny. I do apologize.

  27. 27 Vanberge

    “M gee” - not your comment.

    More like russ’, vanbergs, vo, vanlandw, and kramer.

  28. 28 bigred

    So I didn’t read anywhere how it all went? Is there any photos or fun stories about the trip?

  29. 29 vanlandw

    bigred - I didn’t write a post about it because I didn’t end up going :’(

    http://vanbergs.wordpress.com/2007/08/20/downfall-of-a-freefall/

    What happened is we drove out there and it started raining. So far we should be rescheduled for this weekend. When I can finally go I’ll make a post on it.

    I have a few photos from the trip i’ll put them up when i get a chance ;-)
