  1. God love ya, Bonnie! As for me, I'm not allowed to hook it in. My friends in the sport--not to mention my teammate--have told me that they'd kick the shit out of me if I did. And I can tell you after what I experienced this past weekend at Perris, the pain of broken bones is nothing compared to the heart-wrenching trauma it would inflict on friends and family. -Lawrence
  2. Nightingale, LMU??? I did both undergrad and grad there, too! When were you there? [And like you, I moved on and went on to another school for the JD.] Small world... Lawrence
  3. HOLD IT !!!! Aren't you the guy that lands in the peas every time? Lawrence
  4. Shot at Perris. Scott Smith played da Jones. He had to wear a black ski mask (which a little cgi replaced with Jones' face) and a body appliance to look heavier. The things we go thru to be on TV...
  5. Betsy, Thanks for saving the Rob Harris Boogie! I will be out at Eloy next week along with the Hutchinson crowd and maybe we could get some crazy hybrid freestyle/skysurf thing going. Blue Skies Forever!!! Lawrence Elsinore Electric
  6. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to cutaway just to catch up with my teammate who's deploying some where around 500 feet! Lawrence
  7. Javier, Skysurfer Kathee Johnson started when she had about 100 jumps. (BTW, she is a total natural on ANY board!) I started when I had just over 200 jumps. It all depends on your comfort level...and your instructors' comfort level. Lawrence Elsinore Electric For me I what attracts me is skysurfing and I know that is like 300+ jumps away for me Quote
  8. Robyn, Congrats on the 100th! Wish I could have been on that one with you but I was forced to help create chaos on the last 64-way sequential attempt. Blue Skies Forever!!! Lawrence
  9. I look forward to kicking her ass at Worlds, and I dare her to make me eat my words. Elsinore Electric
  10. Funny you guys should mention scheduling... During this past Nationals in Chicago, there was an Artistic Events "discussion" held that raised that very issue of when to schedule skysurfing, freeflying and freestyle. Most agreed (events director Tony Thacker, all the AE judges, and all the AE competitors in attendance) that the best time to hold all AE events would be at the beginning of the nationals competition. That way, (1) there is a buildup to the main event (RW), (2) the relatively low participation AE events would not hold excessive staff and other resources over once RW had completed, (3) AE competitors could benefit from the same high volume attendance at their awards ceremony that RW experiences, and (4) AE would receive greater exposure as opposed to holding the events until after 99% of everyone else had already left.
