Here we want to present some of the most interesting, provocative, colorful sites as our "Pearls on the Net". If you have created a unique, funny, informative page, or if you know of such a web page, please send us the URL so we can feature it here! |
| The Dead Mike Homepage On August 3, 1997 at the World Freefall Convention in Quincy, IL, after a successful skydive, Michael B. Vederman got into a parachute collision about 30 seconds before landing. Mike fell about 80 feet and struck the concrete runway almost horizontal and face down. Miraculously, Mike survived (brain intact) and this is his web page. If you're looking for a different sort of skydiving page you owe yourself a visit to Dead Mike's Internet home. |

We loved his original content and think you will too! Don't miss his "Humor" and "Skydiving Ate My Balls" sections. "Musings" features some profound Mike thoughts. And if you're into gaming, check out creative, original games of the Dead Mike kind. However, be forewarned about one section titled "Surgery" which is definitely not for the faint of heart-Mike bares all as he shares graphic medical pictures from his surgeries. As Mike says, "Life is skydiving and skydiving is life", and his web site shows a profound love for both!

On the Skydive Swoop web site you'll find lots of information about the their dropzone and events, FAQs, first jump options and much more. One very neat feature is their category, "Last Weekend", where you get an inside view of the dropzone, it's jumpers and what happened at the weekend.
