Here is a colourful ride :
https://tinyurl.com/y5qw5eeh
Taken at Royal Roads Military College, Victoria, BC in the summer of 1994
Taken with a bug-eyes 135 / 2.8 on an M5.
Each rider baled out at high altitude, did some twists, turns and tumbles on
the way down, got co-ordinated as seen. Six feet hit the ground at exactly the
same moment all within a ten foot square piece of parade ground.Quite amazing.
