"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.
