COnragtulations And good luck. Dom

Now that you have seen it work. Do it all the time. Do it for the next 2 months, every dive. As you get more and more used to the rythm, you will start to key things a bit faster. Don't rush it, just let it happen. It didn't feel slow. It felt calm. That is the difference. thanks for the input you guys - now, to extend that feeling to rounds with a block or two... That's ok we will just pick up a point or two on ya then! Dom

THat is what Kate told me yesterday Spark, but guess who just walked in the door about 15 minutes ago? Guess they said the hell with it and drove straight through last night. Tony. Looking a bit worse for wear, but doing well and seems like he is gonna be just fine. RIbs still hurting pretty bad, it was fun to make him laugh! WE will have fun with those ribs for a few months!!!!!! Dom

Did you mean the Space Cadets are making rigs!?!?!? Dom

If you pay my plane ticket and house and feed me I will do it for ya! Dom

No worries he is just right down the road now. That is funny though. You go out and VSE is just gone! Dom

That and Sky Jumping (as in "Hey let's go make a sky jump!") are my two new favorite terms. Dom

Careful, there is a real hardcore bunch of guys at PErris that call themselves AIRTRASH. If they here that others are calling themselves that, you may have a bunch of VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY drunk mofo's that have no sense between them all (and there are a lot of them) looking to snatch ya up and show ya what AIRTRASH really is. Dom

HOw about this. I had one fucking tube of CS gas this big stuck up my ass for 10 years! That's all I swear! Dom

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You are really holding a lot! Dom

Evelyn, the white will turn really brown with all the dirt we have at Perris. That is why you don't see to many white rigs out here. One or two bad landing s and it starts to look awful. Dom

10 of 14 on the hard round. Dom

Creeping up to grab your butt! Dom

It will be the other way around. Chris is a monster in the tunnel! You are gonna be tired. Dom

I'll see ya after 5 Val. I am going over after work. Gotta be in bed early though. I have tunnel time at 6:30 in the morning on Saturday. Dom

If you ask really nice Kelly may post a pic of your rig in production. I don't know if he will have time to do it or not. but it doesn't hurt to ask. Dom

EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW! Dom

How did Shaggy say it? YIKES!!!!!! Glad to have that out I bet! How long will you have to heal up from them taking it out? Dom

CAll your dealer. Thay should already have the serial number. Dom

Actually I am trying to fill up an hour on Saturday night. Evelyn is coming at 7pm, to see if we can work out her knee issue. Would you like to join us? Dom

I feel it is better to learn them now because it is just one less thing they won't have to relearn later on. With Dan B.C. helping us I don't think we are on the wrong track with this at all, and that little bit of vert did help us at our last meet. Our 8th and final point in round 1 was the close to BLock 11 and I believe because of the vert we got it in time. ALso a lot of teams didn't go vert on block 18 in round 2 and it cost them as well. I agree that the trade off (disaster) may not be worth it for most new teams, but if you have the talent you may as well learn it once and only once. I always reference my student progression for stuff like this. We went from Ripcords and SOS systems to, ROL with an SOS, then to a BOC and two handle system. I had to learn my deployment and reserve procedure three times! I believe that if they can, understand it and can execute it, then teach it to them early. I never said you can't do block 11 in the tunnel. We just don't at this point. I thinkthe move in the tunnel is a bit over there heads at this time. Just because of the limited space in the tunnel. Once we perfect the piece moves then we move on to both pieces at the samew time. Most of our trainging in the tunnel will be random work and most of the block stuff will be done in the air (as a 4 way). 5 point dives with 2 blocks and a random in the air for the most part. We will see at the end of the year if it pays off or not. Not fair to use Rusty in this equation. He doesn't know up from down in the tunnel anymore cause he can fly just as well on any axis in there! That guy is good, good , good, good! Speaking of turning block in the tunnel. The fist time I saw Joey Jones doing 4 way in the tunnel I was very impressed, then the guy flips over on his back in his RW suit between points and doens't miss a beat and barley losses any speed while turning blocks on his back while thothers are stil on there belly. then it is back to his Belly with a big smile and wink for the next page, then back to his back or the page after that! Show Off! Iloved watching every minute of it!

Even crossingmy eyes doens't help. I can never see these damn things. BTW How you doin!?!?! Your kinda hot! Dom

I agree and disagree. If the people are pretty heads up and have good skills, I don't see a problem with learning verts right away. My team can probably do them just as fast with out the Vertical move but, the thinking is way learn it twice? Of course we have the luxury of going to the tunnel and learing the two pieces and then putting it together in the sky. I took the approach of learning vert's with these guys right from the start and it has paid off big in our first meet. Dom

Very true. Nothing like breaking on the hill with tension and watching 4 bodies go in 4 differnt directions. All you can do at that point is say "oh shit" and get it back together as fast as ya can. Dom
