  1. Oh ... Vinnie ... have you had too much beer to drink ? Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  2. I second that suggestion Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  3. What the heck is a creeer? Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  4. I was just wondering if anyone knows what the largest Hybrid formation is and is there any kind of "record way" for these kinds of formations? Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  5. I say we just launch half of it out the door and then lets see what happens. What is that 17? That's liable to cause some serious carnage. I wanna be in the base with Vinnie the Anvil so we go real fast! Has it ever been done? A 17 Way Hybrid lanch? We'd launch 16 way belly flopper jumps out of the otter all day long, but a hybrid ? Perhaps I could see this happening out of a Casa or Skyvan. Anyone know whats going to be there for the festivities and uh ... oh yeah, the aircraft? Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  6. This is why Jen needs a motorcycle ...
  7. Let's hear it for MC208B!!! Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  8. Just wondering how many of you are good at doing many things at once? For example, this is a true story ... Back in 1975, there was a man driving irregularly on a freeway. A police officer pulled him over and noticed a strange looking animal in the front seat of the car near the driver. As he approached the vehicle the animal turned out to be a turkey. The man was having sexual intercourse with the turkey. What is the most difficult/bizzare/fun thing you have ever done behind the wheel? Anyone have any interesting behind the wheel stories?

  9. I laugh everytime I see that picture. This picture is the result of severe carnage and poor Tom's body nearly torn into two. Good times those were
  10. Chop Chop!!!! There you are! I have been looking all over for you!!! You will see my butt (well not really my butt) but I am going to try and get to the Boogie Friday late afternoon after school and stay through Saturday night. Then unfortunately I will have to leave the boogie early and head back home since I have 3 midterms the following Wednesday. Yikes. But I am beginning to realize that all work and no play just sucks for Jen. Jen needs some serious RW and some fun freefly jumps! See ya Friday! PS. Chop Chop, call me cause I can't seem to get you on your cell phone. Did you have a new #? Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  11. What got me through my level 6 backloops were: #1) I superarched to gain some speed before initiating the back loop so I had enough momentum to make it all the way around which is what I see many students having problems with #2) Be aggressive #3) Tuck #4) Throw your head back and arms forward pushing down on the air on both sides of your body while keeping your knees bent #5) Don't stop the maneuver until you see your feet pass over the crest and you are on the downhill slope #6) now the hard part is over and gravity is on your side. Arch Arch Arch to regain stability in a belly to earth body position. To go forward picture yourself rolling or doing somersaults. Tuck and Roll. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires."

  12. I have discussed CReW with some folks and it sounds like a real interesting discipline. Myself, being totally CReW inexperienced thinks things like Downplanes look fun. One day talking to a friend of mine, he told me everything I needed to do to do my first downplane since he was going to take me. We still haven't done it yet ... He was explaining how one person holds on to the other person and decides when to let go of the other person. Then when the person does let go after all that speed, one person most likely will be facing upwind and the other poor sap facing downwind. So that part might be a bit interesting on a windy day but its all good, just do it on a no wind day I guess. I think as soon as I learn a little more about CReW from experienced people, (a fair enough amount in that I feel comfortable enough that I am not going to kill anyone including myself) I would definitely be interested in trying some CReW.

  13. One of my favorites is still the chocolate coke. But the real kind with chocolate syrup and Coke. Some people think they are gross but I like them. When I was a kid, a chocolate coke, grilled cheese sandwich, fries and of course the pickle was the BOMB. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  14. OMG, have you heard of "natural selection"???? Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  15. Yay Lefty!!!! Congratulations AggieDave!!! Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  16. Hey Hookitt, I don't fly a Xaos either (sounds fun though by the name ) . Are you going to the Chicks Rock Boogie? BTW, Hi Shark, hows it going? So I'm getting that the Boogie is the 3rd, 4th & 5th of Oct. Darn, looks like I can't make that one. Oh well, I'll make it to Elsinore one of these days!!! Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  17. Can I get a verification on the dates of the Chicks Rock Boogie? If its the weekend of the 11th-12th I might be able to make it
  18. I just want to salute not only our troops but all the brave Americans who risked/risk their lives as part of what they "do". Today, it was hard not to feel effects of 9/11 for me. All it took was listening to one radio program. I can't help but think about all of the Americans who died on 9/11. The firefighters, the hijacked passengers, the WTC victims and all of their families and friends. It makes me try not to take anything for granted. There are men and women who risk their lives every day to save and or protect the lives of others. Those individuals have my utmost respect. Thanks. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  19. Ooooooooh! Oooooooooooh! I could use some golf clubs. Okay, I have at least one good story to tell that I can think of off the top of my head but that is something I would have to PM you. Do I still win the Golf Clubs Jeff? Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  20. Hi AggieDave, Sorry you are not feeling well . I recommend sleep and lots of rest. Doing nothing except laying around. Theraflu may help you out if you can hack it, I personally only drink it if I really need to because it tastes nasty but it really helps. Also there is this natural/holistic over the counter remedy that used to work really well for me called Alpha C/F (Cold & Flu). That Alpha C/F has a lot of Zinc in it which can also relieve a sore throat. Other than that, hot liquids like soups and teas and comfort food. I would rent a few good movies, read a good book or knock out some HW. Hope you feel better soon! Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  21. He would have been concerned with saving the owls. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  22. Come on all you people ... Cough up some baby pics. This thread could almost be as entertaining as that one where the guys were all showing their muscles and tattoos and stuff; especially if you have a funny kid/baby picture with a story behind it. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  23. Tevas when its HOT and Vans/Nike/NewBalance tennies when its cold. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  24. I think I am pretty good at foosball, making margaritas, being a Mom, being a friend, being spontaneous, accomplishing what I put my mind to. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  25. I second the BAD at golf. Of course I only tried it once on a course and once on a range. The first time was at a range in high school. A friend of mine was teaching me how to hold and swing the club. HeHeHe Lets just say after one big swing he walked away probably seeing some stars since I swung the club back directly into his head. Oops!!! Then, the second time I attempted golf was this last summer. I enjoyed myself and all except for realizing how bad I can actually be at something. This time I nearly killed my poor golf companion ... It was a hell of a drive ... the only problem was it ended up going right through the frame of the golf cart where Kelly just happened to be sitting. Luckily he saw it coming and had quick enough reflexes to duck What a humbling experience golf turned out to be for me. I especially enjoyed those times when I went to swing with the driver after setting up for the perfect shot and the next thing I knew was that I missed the ball entirely. Then its all about covering your butt and playing it off like that was really just a practice swing and I meant to do that all along. I guess its a good thing that I skydive more than I golf.
