rave4funn 0 #1 October 5, 2007 So, I just caught the tail end of a show about skydiving on the weather channel. Mind you I am interested in watching anything about skydiving, but why is the weather channel showing it? I remember back in the good ole days when the Mtv played music videos and the Weather channel showed the weather....--------------------------------------------------- http://www.myspace.com/rave4funn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 October 6, 2007 They talked about weather. About why Eloy has good weather and about dust devils. All in all it wasn't that bad of a segment, except for the stock style footage of line twists and a 270 from the jumper's perspective while talking about getting caught in a dust devil.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

rave4funn 0 #4 October 6, 2007 I didnt think it was bad by any means. It's just the fact of it's on the weather channel. I like that it showed of our sport to more people....(assuming anyone watches the weather channel) Next thing you know the weather channel is going to have it's own reality show or man vs wild type show. Why can't we get on ESPN? They play poker on there and that's not even a sport.--------------------------------------------------- http://www.myspace.com/rave4funn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowwhite 0 #6 October 6, 2007 Yea, what's up with the poker thing? In the middle of the night, the same poker game may be on two or three channels, and all of the rest of the channels are trying to sell me something. Apparently, they think that insomniacs are all gamblers or are addicted to buying junkskydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #9 October 7, 2007 Naw, I think that guy had been kicked out of the bus station and was left to being the guy that has to wash out the back of cop cars... --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Bolas 5 #14 October 8, 2007 This coming from the guy that retired from moderating "because he didn't have the time anymore." Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
