  4. Liz, you rock! Just for taking the time to put this post together, you rock! But also because you are thinking about this and put your idea out there. All that you listed is great information and something anyone can learn from. Awesome resources! I just might bring an extra bottle of wine to you at Freezefest!

    Hey Minnesota

    I knew where the logo came from, but damn dude!
  7. This is a big reason, but the reason ESPN dropped it and the reason other big companies won't pick it up is because the average viewer doesn't understand it from a talent aspect. Sure they know that we jump out of planes and fall and then land under parachutes, and that is cool and scary, but they don't understand how hard it is or how much talent it takes to fly artistically. They look at two guys freeflying as just goofing off in the air. They have no concept of the skill it takes. Everyone can watch a skateboarder or a BMX rider or a snowboarder and have an idea of how amazing the pros are because it is something we all have a concept for. Everyone has tried to jump a bike or do a flip or ski or snowboard etc...... Even if you haven't, the concept is something you can understand. Unless you have tried skydiving, you have no concept of how hard it is or the skill involved to do it artistically. I mean, how hard can it be to fall and flip around, right? So, they put it on TV and people watch for a little while then get board. You've seen one skydive, you've seen them all. Same thing, over and over. Big deal. UNLESS..... you ARE a skydiver, then it is amazing to watch and they are all different and exciting because you understand the talent level and skill involved. We can all watch and appreciate a pro snowboarder's talent, even if you have never done it yourself. The same cannot be said of skydiving. Have you ever watched a skydiving video and been glued to the tv, only to notice the non-skydivers hardly glancing at it? THAT is the reason skydiving is not lucrative for big business.
  8. That your dream of flying with ccowden was going to come true in May, and you absolutely can't wait!!

  12. Absolutely. I couldn't help but cry on my first jump back after Tommy's death. It was both terribly sad and beautiful at the same time.
  13. Okie dokie! Until then, I will wait in giddy anticipation!
  14. I named my dog after Bradley Nowell's (Sublime) dalmatian.
