Ever been skunked on a base jump? Can't Post

And by skunked I am talking about the lovely smelling black and white furry creature unleashing their lovely aroma on you.

I landed in a cloud of the stuff the other day. My guess is that he saw my black and white canopy and thought to attract a mating partnerSly

I guess I'm lucky it wasn't a direct hit and that there's only a hint of smell to it...

Yes, in the landing area of a tower we jumped for the first time six years ago. We named it "Skunk"

Almost happened to me and Matt F. about 5 yrs ago at the Big Green. Luckily we are both experts at the 5 D's. We just barely got away from the damn thing!

Depending on where you were jumping, you might have flown over someones weed garden. Cool
