This kid comes on our forum and wants one of us to jump out of an airplane and we do all kinds of hands stands for him and show him our great sense of humor and he doesn't elaborate much at all about what, when, why and where and how. What kind of film, who will be the commentator, why is it being made, what is the distinct purpose, who will be the producer and more...? Tell us more Mr. Awsmatti..Inquiring minds want to know.

Is this marginalizing the original poster, or just grilling him..........

Default X-Dive

Ruth and I would like to book two sessions for our X's. Parachutes for them will not be a needed option.

You can drop them off at any convient location. Dump, Lake, Tarmack, Sink Hole Gattor Swamp it dosen't matter.

Well, we all know you're a star all ready but as Gracie pointed out he hasn't told us what the actual show is going to be yet.

Could be:

Real Housewives of The Villages
Real Stories of the E.R.
American PickerUppers
Extreme Makeovers (they've run out of edgy ideas)
America's Next Drop Model

And, does it pay anything?

My son is with the 82nd Airborne and when I told him about this he thought it was a fantastic opportunity and was so excited that I was going to present it to his grandmother, however, she has no desire to do this. I can Not believe it. So sorry to report that. I was sure this would be a hoot for her and something she would " jump" at the chance to do (pun intended). Oh well, maybe she is holding out for something more exciting. I can't wait to see this show when it airs.

As I said in my original post, the purpose of this is to give an older individual the chance to do something like that they they may have never done before but always wanted to do. This will be filmed by my crew and may be part of a pilot episode of a new series (network TBD). That is all I can share at this point unless you are seriously interested in taking part in this adventure.

This will be a really fun experience for someone! We have had a couple of people express interest and we will be talking to all interested by next week. It's not to late to put your hat in the ring..... Couples also welcome to jump together (each attached to an experienced jump instructor). The final details of where this will be filmed (what town) will be discussed with the interested candidates.

Or it could be: Six Feet Under.

I will be sure to post what is going on with the show as we get further along the road to producing it so all residents from the Villages can see one of their own having the time of their life on camera!

I will pay for the experience in which you will jump in tandem (attached) to an experienced jump instructor. You will also receive a video tape of the experience! Having all your friends and family witness the jump would also be great.

I would also consider someone that may have jumped before in the military many years ago that has always wanted to do it again.

Time to have some fun!!

If this isn't for you, please pass this onto someone that may be interested. Thank you.

Any couples out there that have always wanted to do this? I will pay for both of you to have this once in a lifetime experience, and you may end up on TV!!!

The facility that we are going to use has hosted jumpers into their 90's before. They also told me that former Presidentail candidate (&senator) George Mcgovern jumped and he is in his late 80's.
Didn't former President George H.W. Bush jump a few years ago? He is now 87, but he was probably 80 or early 80's at the time.
