Deuce 1 #1 March 23, 2003 Hey! I went skydiving yesterday and I had a lot of fun. My Mrs. brought my kids out to the DZ right after sunset load and we had a nice family dinner. We ate on stools in a bar, cause we didn't want to wait for the dining room, but that's what we usually do. So check out some of my skydives. A tandem with the Magnificent Connie, a Level One with the World Famous Big Way Organizer Gareth Holder and the Inimicable Vic and a fastfalling student with a ponytail named "Scooter" -no shit, "Hi, J.P. I'm Scooter" I'm wondering if that's what it says on his birth certificate. A 11 way with Taz@DZ.com for his hundredth, I also shot his level one a few months ago (all hail Sangiro) a super-fun headown-sit-stand with BigBen-that photo is excspecially hideously cool.Finished the day with an 8 way hybrid and you can see Hookitt in it. We needed to speed up the base on that one... Oh, and I landed way out on my first jump. I am a truly professional tandem videographer, and I seized the opportunity to fluff the cows. Super cool landing too. Everybody thought I died. I swooped the downslope of this hill, right over about 20 cows, and flared at the base of the hill where it leveled out. I'm thinking SHIT! TOO MUCH RED ON THIS CANOPY! but the canopy settles down, and the cows are all staring at me. Wierd. So I fluffed them. "Whoo! Hoo! SKYDIVE!" Nothing. Fucking cows.

meatmissile 0 #4 March 23, 2003 Nice shots! I especially like the second last one, where you can see the plane reflected in the goggles. It is such a perfect moment, if someone else posted it I might have called photoshop ! -- ZZZzzzz.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #6 March 23, 2003 All that edumication and you can't tell the difference between cows (which don't react to red) and bulls (which do)? The bulls are the ones with the big balls hanging between their rear legs. The cows also have a bag between their rear legs, but their's have six or eight pointy things coming off them. Nice pics, btw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #8 March 23, 2003 Quote LOL swooping the cows again? Hey, somebody's got to do it! But my wife just reminded me that they didn't sign the waiver, so I'll have to be more careful.Yeah Lisa, I was pretty sure they were cows when they didn't charge me .

SpeedRacer 1 #10 March 23, 2003 QuoteAll that edumication and you can't tell the difference between cows (which don't react to red) and bulls (which do)? I thought bovines were color-blind, and that reacting-to-red stuff was just a myth. That in bullfights the bulls are actually reacting to the movement of the cape. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just a city boy. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wingy, one of the camera fliers showed me how to push the photo button while I was looking at video and how that would take a picture to the memory stick. Chopchop kept putting cool pictures up, and you know, gotta keep up with the Jones's, or chopchops, or whatever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
