"Horny Gorilla"
	A fun way to finish a star.  Participants
	do a half-backloop retaining grips so that
	feet come together in the middle.
	Grips are taken with feet and hand grips 
	released.  Participants, now inverted,
	do gorilla imitations (Oohhh OOOOh aaahhh!)

"Side by side"
	Two skydivers under canopy linked side by side.
	Steering is by cooperation.

"Down Plane"
	What happens when a "side by side" goes
	in opposite directions.  Participants remain
	linked by leg grips. Rate of descent is
	phenomenal.

"Riser spiral"
	Something to do when you're bored and you're
	at 2 grand directly over the target.  A
	riser is gripped at the french link with both
	hands and pulled down to chin level.  A VERY
	high rate of descent, rotation, and dizziness
	result.
