Cornholio 0 #1 March 10, 2002 WOOOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOO!!!!!Yeah, that is about all I can say after nailing down two awesome dives today. I passed my AFF level 2 and level 3 with flying colors. I was not sure how I would do on #3 as my instructor told me that my arch needed some work. I was afraid that they would not let me fly alone, but they did, because I pulled off the arch!! WOOOO!!!Funny thing is, my instructor, told me to think of getting a blowjob while falling ( so in essence sticking my hips out and crotch out front) Heh, yeah, I thought about that once when I was falling and that's about all I needed to keep that arch. It also helped me relax a bit, cause it was pretty funny at the time. AND... I got video... . AND.. I got a video posted on the web. I would like to offer Sangiro and maybe PilotDave ( I forget his name right now - the guy that runs that FTP site) to put those on their sites. I remember yesterday and the day before looking for a video about AFF Level 3 and I could not find shit. I actually found one for a level 4, but I think that level 4 was the same as my level 3 today. So feel free to use them if you like. There is one problem - my web service provider has a problem streaming Windows Media files. Yeah, I had to encode them in that, because it's the best quality format for the file size. So, the problem is: the link below will not correctly work if you just click on it. You have to right click, choose "Save As..." and then when it asks you what you want to save it as, you MUST RENAME it from ".html" to ".wmv" Yeah, it's pretty lame, but hopefully they will get it fixed soon. If you have problems let me know. I am trying to find another codec to make it smaller, but the rest of them suck... and no, I don't have Quicktime.. :( REMEMBER TO RIGHT CLICK AND "SAVE AS" OR "SAVE TARGET AS..." http://www.almgren.net/aff/AffLevel3_sm_jump-only.wmv REMEMBER TO RENAME THE FILE TO filename.WMV BEFORE PLAYINGOnce you download it to your hard drive, it should play fine in Windows Media player. It's just under 5 MB, so have fun downloading it and let me know what you think. This is just the jump only. I have the intro and end too, if you want to see that, but it's big...about 45 MB worth and much better quality - still WMV format. Let me know if anyone wants to see that and I will post a link to it. WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!! Yeah, I think I got what they call permagrin...LOL - Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wndrer73 0 #2 March 10, 2002 YEAH MATT!!!! Great job there! I wish I hadn't broken my ankle -- no more skydives for me for a long time now! :-(Anyway, I've seen Matt's video (the original) and I gotta say it's pretty damn great!!! Download it if you're a newbie like us and looking for good AFF-L3 videos to watch ...It even shows a nifty little trick with his pilot chute getting caught in one of the JM's hands!!! That was ....... interesting!Funny, I just posted one message saying how MY jump today went... and here I see a note about Matt's jump (who was there at the time and has my ankle captured on video!):-(No, wait...:-)Hmmm, I dunno what to do... :-( coz my leg's broken and I can't skydive for a long time, or :-) coz it could have been a lot worse and I *CAN* skydive AFTER a long time.. Think, Ishaan... Think! It's all in the attitude! Hmmmmmm, well... :-) :-) :-)WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! <--- someone (I think JT?) said that's a skydiver's cry of freedom!"Uh-oh, he's dead!" -- My video/photographer, after my first tandem jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cornholio 0 #8 March 10, 2002 Thanks Dave. Here is the link to the big one (45MB) This one has preflight and a pretty bad landing shot. My landing was good, but the shot sucked. http://www.almgren.net/aff/AffLevel3.wmv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
