Mike says, "As far back as I can remember, I've wanted to jump out of airplanes. I started skydiving in 1964, and I plan on jumping as long as my health allows. I have 1,200 RW jumps, 100 freefly, 200 R & D (test jumps for manufacturers), and 7,500 camera jumps." Check out Mike's great new web site at www.funairproductions.com for some awesome skydiving photos and videos.
