This video is some straight up Point Break or DB Cooper stuff! Bohdi Utah skydiving school craziness lol! I’ve been asked, “Diana, what’s it like to skydive at night?” It’s a totally awesome feeling to be surrounded by darkness except for the city lights below that you are falling towards at over 120mph. It’s sorta like the difference between swimming in the ocean at daytime and swimming in the ocean at nighttime. Totally different feeling, right? Same with skydiving at night versus skydiving at light.

Wyat and Kyle used to do what they called a “Charlie” load: a bandit skydive. The first jump on this video from 1999, Wyat Drewes jumped out of a Cessna 182 with his friends Kyle other guy over Newport Beach, California. They climbed out of Kyle’s limo and into the Cessna. Other guy filmed this skydive. Instead of ready-set-go and then jump, they yelled “Charlie-Ice-Cold-Beer!” and then jumped. What is great about this video is you can actually hear Kyle screaming and yelling in freefall. If Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves could see this video haha! The second jump on this video Wyat filmed Kyle in freefall. Then you can see the aftermath of the landings. It looks like Kyle had a bit of a rough one. Drunk skydiving doesn't always work out. They get back to Kyle’s house in Newport Beach and you can see how scraped up he got. The other guy got hurt a little bit too. The girl skydiver that was with them is the only one that didn’t get hurt at all. Way to go girl!

Wyat and Kyle did a lot of those bandit jumps over Newport Beach. On one of the night skydives, Wyat miss-calculated his landing and hit the Newport Pier, bounced off and landed in the ocean. He tied his parachute and skydiving rig to the barnacle covered pillar and swam in to shore. Amazingly he didn’t drown and die. He was very lucky. He was handcuffed and mock arrested for this stunt, but only as for show in front of the news cameras. The “arresting officer” was a fellow skydiver and let him go without any charges or consequences. Later, Wyat swam out to the end of the pier and recovered his salt water soaked skydiving gear. Oh Wyat. You were such a crazy red head!! 

Wyat Drewes died August 10, 2007 in a motorcycle accident.
