June 3rd, 2009 What's the most intense jump you've ever undertaken? (just trying to facilitate some discussion here
June 3rd, 2009 Every jump i make is intense.
June 3rd, 2009 Crack Den. 170' B - next to Canal Street on a friday night in New Orleans - bout 4 blocks from Bourbon street.
Gunshots on the street below. Wife PCA'd me after I tought her how in the hotel room.
I ran from some cops who turned out to be after someone else (Shooter guy)
Wife ran from security on the roof. Rally Point was the Hustler titty bar on bourbon street. Went in with my Blondie and my stash bag.

Good times.

June 4th, 2009 well let me see when i went camping in wales, t'was a beautiful moonlit evening......just me, flossy the sheep & the rolling countryside....
oh intense. not in tents.
June 4th, 2009 gotta be the Train jump. 50 mph. ~300' bridge
THAT was some intense shit.
as were the tall building jumps.
and the short building jumps.
And the 260' cliff was great too!
my 7th jump and 1st terminal jump we climbed 1800' at a daytime tower.
I remember that as being very intense too
June 4th, 2009 It's still probably our attempt at a horny gorilla from the perrine. The jump became intense when our staged deployment (low man slider up) resulted in Johnny's canopy wrapped around my head. GAME ON! I saw nothing but fabric while Johnny was suspended below me and his center cell had swallowed my head and was hanging from my neck. While I worked to remove fabric from me, Johnny worked the canopy from his end in hopes of loosening tension. I got good CRW communication about altitude in the form of "FUCK" in varrying pitches and volumes. We cleared the wrap on the north side, where Johnny immediately got himself turned into the water avoiding the rocks narrowly and I turned from the upcoming wall and landed rears on a boulder. First thing I heard after landing and before I probably caught my breath was from Johnny, "Are you alright bro?!?". I knew he was good when I heard that, and responded to confirm I too was alright.
The JB cliff is pretty intense too. Might have 8 jumps off there now and every time the visuals in that short freefall are wicked.

June 4th, 2009 December 2000, I am standing on a top of a building alone in Dubai, close to 4 am. My very first jump for the trip. the city seems to calm down, and it is close to the end of the Ramadan as well. Im getting ready to jump a 120 meter building, standing with my pilot chute in my hand, and almost ready to start the countdown. Okay .... Alllaaaaaaah I hear from one end of the city, and in few seconds it is all over the place, like a shock wave it hits me in a intense way I can not describe with words. Totally newbie in a middle east muslim country. It was not in my mind at all this was going to happen at that time. I feel a crack in my nerves, my hearth beats totally out of controll, and I am breathing heavily, when I am thinking for myselves "dam Im a long way from home" 3 - 2 - 1 - cya

One of my most intense (many are for many reasons)..... alone on top of my first cliff after my friend went off and landed. Crack of dawn, hiked in the dark and slept a couple of hours to get it first light around 5am.... the cliff in question is 370ft in the UK and cheesy....and not an easy jump. Another intense jump was the second time I did that cliff, but in the dark....
June 5th, 2009 Funnily enough, I found my first solo (Jump 13 on Friday the 13th), and most of my solos since, more relaxed then when I am with someone........
Guess I am really unsocialable
June 5th, 2009 Ditto that. Solos have been more relaxing for me, too.
