Dear Pig:
I recently picked up the December issue of FHM and as I was
flipping through the pages and I came across page 58. I saw
something incredible, a picture of a car falling from 13,500 feet
with skydivers in it. I also noticed you have an interest in
video taping these activities. I am student skydiver 12 jumps
away from getting my license at skydive Long Island. Even though
I have only made 13 jumps, skydiving has been a huge interest of
mine since I was six years old. Any way my first car was an 1989
grand marquise that I would like to donate to you so you can push
it out of a plane. But a friend and I would like to be in the car
as it gets pushed out. I am willing to cut
the top off this car and drive the piece of shit to where you are
located and chip in for the airplane rental fee and to
give you some money to video tape it as long as its in the U.S. I
am a first year film student who would also like to make a
documentary about me and a friends skydiving experiences. The two
passions in my life are film and skydiving. Being in a car as
it's pushed out of an airplane has been a dream of mine since I
saw it on TV for the first time. Doing this will make an awesome
part in my documentary. We don't have much money but we are
willing to pay you for this. If you can get back to me and tell
me how much this will cost.
Please get back to me, it will be greatly appreciated.
Justin
PS i know you are probably busy but please get back to me. Thank
you.
never too busy for a fellow skydiver who
wants to wreck his truck. email me your mailing address and i'll
send you a dvd with all kinds of stuff being dumped from planes.
your idea is good and i'll help however i can. i'm not looking to
make money on dropping SUVs - the footage would be yours for your
project, however i'd want the right to release the footage for tv
- dumping SUVs is sort of a publicity stunt. i've dropped around
20 cars and trucks so far and the riders have at least 750 jumps
- most have thousands of jumps. i'd be happy film you and your
friend flying your truck but to be safe i think it would be best
to wait until you have more jumps under your belt. we wouldn't
necessarily have to chop the roof (i can tell you more about that
later). anyway, i'd love to wreck your truck so let's stay in
touch!

Dear Pig
I really appreciate your responce to my letter so fast. I
understand that we will need more experience in jumping. I wasnt
planning to do this until July or August of 2003 so hopefully by
that time we will have had our licence for along time and many
more jumps. I would like to do this your way. Do you think 100
jumps is enough. If you could give me some details about what we
have to do and what state are you located in. Also i dont have a
truck its a car, I dont know if that matters but I spoke to my
father about trading my car in for a piece of shit suv. If it
dont matter i would like to use my car because ive been trying to
figure out a way to kill it. But like I said I will do it your
way and just come along for the ride.
also if you can send that dvd it would be greatly apprieciated
Thank you
Justin
hey Justin:
your dvd is en route. as for the number of jumps, let's stay in
touch about it as you progress. talk with your instructors about
what you'd like to do and see what they think. i'm all for taking
you up with your car or truck. at the same time i have to follow
pretty strict guidelines to keep projects as safe as possible.
i'm in southern california - would make a good road trip, perhaps
even a cool story for tv... two guys take cross country trip to
wreck car. could be fun!
