Kennedy 0 #10 March 13, 2004 the movie had a baldwin in it and no gratutitous sex. How much of your life can it really be worth? You know the worst part though? My parents bought it for me for Chirstmas. At least I can bring it to the DZ and we have something to make fun of on weather days. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #13 March 13, 2004 Ya know, what I find funny is that most of the folks that laugh at "Cutaway" are newbies that don't realize just how much reality there is in the movie. Yeah, there's clearly some stuff where Manos took some poetic license in an attempt to make it more palatable to a whuffo audience, but I bet if you stay in the sport long enough you'll actually come to appreciate how realistic it is.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ifics 0 #16 March 13, 2004 "Whats in the bag?" Baldwin brother, "Its my life, I'm cutting away..." BWAAHAHAHAHHAAHH Sorry but that quote cracks me up every time, that and the scene where he is in front of the mirror talking on the phone and is practicing his track, or whatever that was.. So gay, soooooooooo funny to me at least. Its funny seeing a Baldwin do anything and try to be serious so I guess thats the problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #17 March 13, 2004 I tell my students to practice infront of a mirror. Then they can see if they have simitry in their legs and arms. Not with tracking usually, but usually for folks just starting out, getting the basic body position right, etc.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Kennedy 0 #21 March 13, 2004 I'm laughing because of the fact that the announcer was afraid/surprised. "no lift" dives happen on every big way RW, and oh yeah, that's what head down is.

quade 4 #22 March 13, 2004 Actually, a true no lift dive is a bit more refined than just going head down and, as is accurately shown in the movie, you can not see where you're going and therefore quite dangerous.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, I'm a bit behind today on my PW, had a swimming pool that had to be changed back into a crawl space. But, I just want to let you know, that is one great line. I sure will file that away and hopefully I'll be able to use it someday. May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

Kennedy 0 #24 March 13, 2004 forgive me for throwing names, but I listened to Ponce explaing it once. I realize it's not head down, and that I have nowhere near the skill to do it. I heard it was fairly accurate (in execution) but I have to laugh at the reactions. and the dialog was SO BAD in some parts. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
