    As I understand it, Jeb Corliss (in a wingsuit) docked with Luigi (under the 39) just recently. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    I say YES, Rosa should pose for Playboy. That was the question, right? "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    It's come back to haunt and deafen you! I've got some big plans for this suit. I might even jump it. I'll be wearing extra ear plugs. I advise anyone on the ground to do the same.

    You can't expect to stay current on your reserve with an attitude like that. ;) How was SoCal? Do you make it out to Perris? "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    Dude, that's because it "flies big" or whatever. ;) "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    Thanks. Had fun hanging with you. Canadian money is cheap. I checked what withdrawal actually was in US dollars. I made out like a bandit on that slot. From now on, I'm buying I'm buying all my international plane tickets at the airport three hours before departure. Er, maybe not. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    Just the people I've been looking for. Would you mind if I did my gainer handheld? I'm not ready to go stowed. On a side note, I'll be hooking three FLiKs to the BP Tri-NoPak and will perform the first Tard McUnder. Pretty soon, everyone will be throwing TMUs. Just remember where it all started. Damn, I'm new school. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    Here's a little video from May Day weekend in Oregon. It was shot at Eugene Skydivers in Creswell and Skydive Oregon in Molalla. Some fun stuff, some awesome, some normal stuff, some lame stuff -- no boogie or broken records -- just some buds having fun with our parachutes... and a tad bit of carnage. Enjoy. http://www.deepart.org/files/MayDay.wmv In case you missed these, here's a short one from one weekend earlier, and a video from last year's PST's (downwind) accuracy round: http://www.deepart.org/files/24apr2004.wmv http://www.deepart.org/files/pst2003.wmv "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    I guess I should also mention that BC is beautiful and the five way we did right before we left kicked ass. Gotta keep those positives in there. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    I wondered when someone was going for a swim. Note that you have to swim. Nice one, Stu. Encoding the "May Day" video right now, which has the flippy landing. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    Drove to Seattle and flew to Kamloops with a stop in Vancouver where security nearly fired my reserve. Untrained bastards. I was forced to check my rig and it didn't make to Kamloops until the next day. Rained and rained and rained so we drank and drank and drank. The plan was to fly up, but then drive back with some friends. They never showed up, so I was stranded. Spent all my jump money on a ticket back home. $600 for two flights. Made the best of it though. Partied, checked out Kamloops, met some cool people, and arm wrestled a stripper, so it wasn't all bad. The weather cleared up right before I left. When I got home, it turned out that my ride did in fact go up there, but it wasn't until later (communication breakdown). That bastard probably took my slot on the helicopter. ;) I bet a lot of people are having fun jumping their asses off while I'm flat broke back at home. Wah wah wah. Oh, well. West Plains should kick ass... weather pending. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    A good running start from tailgate AC about 500 feet higher, that is. On a tangent from this... in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, go to the cliff next to the dam and jump off. On a big screen, it's kind of a rush. I spent an hour or so jumping off and flipping over to my back, did some in-air flamethrower stunts, etc. Try tossing a grenade and time it just right so that you explode in mid-air. A notable one behind this is bailing out high, taking a fat delay, and pulling low in Battlefield 1942. Video games are rad. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    I concur. I'd say the way the wind blades were moving and the speed of the run out made it look like there was a hefty tailwind. Regardless, it's a big, nice swoop. Was there a wide angle lens on that camera? It didn't really do justive to first half of the swoop. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    If you accidentally take one through security, you can take out the blade and keep the rest. When you get to where you're going, a new blade will be about a buck or less. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    HHAHAHAHA!!!! Nice. I'm not sure. Do we have windblades? If so, I'm sure we could just ask Joe. He might have some good reasons (obstacles, target fixation, etc) to not have them up fulltime, but then again, maybe it's not a problem and no one has asked. We should probably consult Troy, Tye, and/or Zaz to find out if there's anything else we don't know that we should know. I'm gone at boogies for the next two weekends, so I'll see you down in Eugene on Saturday. I really like the idea of this comp. If nothing else, it gives these landings a little purpose outside of just-plain-fun. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    With or without a WS? What type of WS? How much have you flown this suit? What's your wingloading on this suit. ;) You evidently know a thing or two if you've BASEd a Sugar Glider (and have made 4500 jumps), so please endulge us with some details. "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click

    Cool. Thanks for putting this together, Stu. I'll be gone the next two weekends, so if any SDO people are out there, spread the word. What's the prize distribution? Winner takes all? Top three in each category? Being Steve? Not being a walrus? "¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click
