AggieDave 6 #5 December 1, 2007 Thanks. Mnealtx took the pic last time he was in Texas a couple of months ago. Looks like I'm thinking too hard. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,488 #6 December 1, 2007 I saw it - that's called _focus_ bro. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #8 December 1, 2007 Focus or the onset of bad gas...which of course would help the swoop speed out quite a bit. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGUN 1,488 #10 December 1, 2007 Well at 2.5:1, I'm thinking that gas might be akin to afterburners, m'man. You might take back off again.. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #11 December 1, 2007 How cool would that be? Be able to swoop, get back to an appropriate altitude and swoop again. Oh that would be great. On the downside, I'm off this weekend and we've got low clouds and winds gusting from 12 to over 20... No swooping for me today, hopefully tomorrow's forecast will be off. I haven't been able to jump since Wednesday and its bugging me. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #13 December 1, 2007 I know, I'm worthless since I don't do many downwinders that are higher then the competition limits. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,488 #14 December 1, 2007 Same weather here. Tomorrow's supposed to be 60 sunny and 12 mph... My shoulder got busted up during SkyFest and just ben doing some HnP's. I took the injured reserve list with PT, rather than surgery and I'm thinking its time to go test the ROM.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Looks like I'm thinking too hard. *FINALLY* got my copy of Parachutist - We'll have to try it with the short lens next time and see if I can get a better angle - maybe a low WA shot from underneath like the PD ad on page 62. I didn't realize my pic of Smithers made it into the issue, too - sorta cool, my publication was a 2-fer!!Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
