Talk:Roger Nelson (skydiver)

Records
Does anyone have an information source indicating which records Roger held?Rklawton (talk) 17:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Books
Does anyone have a list of books Roger has authored? Does his unpublished book have a title yet? Rklawton (talk) 17:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Legacy
Does anyone know if any of Guy Manos' movies had a character(s) or plot(s) that were inspired by Roger? The connections certainly exist (Guy & Roger were rivals, and Roger ran drugs from South America). Rklawton (talk) 17:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Contributions to skydiving
What documented contributions did Roger make to skydiving? I know he was Captain of the Olympic demo team. I'm pretty sure he was the one who pushed the USPA to allow BOC on student rigs. I think we could use some more detail on the Freak Brother's contributions as well as how the WFFC evolved from the FB Convention. He also worked as a consultant to DZOs regarding their operations and marketing.Rklawton (talk) 17:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Guy Manos
Speaking of Guy Manos, someone really needs to write up an article about him. He also holds skydiving records, and he's coordinated stunts, written, directed, produced several movies. Rklawton (talk) 17:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Next on my list when I get a spare couple of hours, but I propose Norman A Kent as a) that is what IMDB have, and ), there is already a Norm Kent and an Kent Norman, so I was thinking maybe Norman Kent as a disambiguation page.-- Club Oranje Talk 06:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

jail time?
I got to this page from reading that Jim Bakker shared a cell with Roger Nelson, but this artivle doesn't make any note of jail time.Kag427 (talk) 23:33, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
