I can't wait to fly with you Alli! So glad you are coming!

You are just gonna have to wait to see!

You got it! Something else it is!

Ok! You and I are a team! Any challengers? Oh, and we need two good head up flyers for pylons and one outside video.

Oh crap! I was gonna be a shark for my costume at the Halloween boogie! Guess I better rethink that one, cuz I want to play strip UNO!!!

I am thinking about heading down to Xkeys this weekend (Oct. 16-17) and was just curious if anyone wanted to play. Didn't know if there would be much going on.

Pylon relay races with baton passes!

Holy shit! Congrats you two!! That is cool! Now Brit, get your ass out to Atlanta for the Halloween Boogie so I can give you a hug! Heck, I will even hug hookitt if he comes with you!

Nice! I am jealous! It was bad weather here all weekend and I didn't get one single jump! Keep it up!

Just give it time. It takes work for sure. When you are filming two or more people who are working together and not paying attention to you, you have to make up for ALL of the movement and seperation that occurs between you and them. Much different than when you are working with someone and they are doing half the work. (in theory) Right now you are probably getting caught thinking too much about either flying or filming at different moments, even if you aren't aware of it, and it causes inconsistantcies. As you get more comfortable with the camera slot, it will all come together and smooth out for ya. You just need to be ready to fly much more aggressively and be ready for changes in fallrate and movement. Just keep working at it and it will come. Good luck!

Shweeew! It is a good thing I can fly on my head!

This is a serious red flag, in my opinion. The turn was obviously intiated too low, it wasn't recognized because you didn't drop the risers and flare with toggles, and you never dropped the rears at all. 3 major issues that need to be thought over and corrected. 1- Starting turn too low. 2- Not recognizing the turn was too low much, much earlier, if at all. 3- Flaring with rears when the turn is too low. The rear risers should have never been in your hands on this swoop. And if they were, they should have been quickly dropped and you should have flared with toggles. Not only did you use the rears all the way to impact, but you actually still had them in your hands after you hit and landed. IMO, you need to take a big step back and master some basics before you attempt any more rear riser landings. I think you are ahead of yourself here. This video shows a couple of major problems and things that can seriously hurt someone or kill them. You are adding too many things before you have mastered the basics. Don't be in a hurry. Thank you for posting and wanting to learn what went wrong. I hope you take this as "learning the easy way" and take a step back. Glad you are ok and that you did get away with this one.

Excuse me? I am not like that at all! Oh wait... Yes I am! Mmmmmmmmmm..... all my favorite skychickies in sexy outfits..... YUMMY!!

I assume MY invitation is in the mail?

Good call! We will alternate!

We just need to figure out which room we are having the wet t-shirt contest in! Do you want to do camera or water? I would be happy to do whichever is left. You know, just to help out.

They definitely are the cutest FS team going! And to make it all that much better, they are all Badfish Chicks too!

I can certainly excuse misinformation due to a lack of understanding our sport, but come on, they should atleast get names right!

You can do video on my 4 way, if I can do video on yours!

I think it looks great the way it is. Although it is hard to get a feel for how big it is. PM me a pic of it where I can see your ass too. Just for size comparison! Just playin! Looks great! I would leave it alone. It looks great now, and if you added something and really didn't like it, it would be a bigger problem.

Oh, I am up for it for sure! Handle the three of you? Heck no! But I sure can't wait to try!

Is that on your back?

Holy troll!

I am a HUGE Natalie fan! I have liked her since abour 1992 and think she has only gotten better over the years. I own ALL her music, with and without 10,000 Maniacs, and even have a couple Maniacs albums on wax. I have seen her in concert 5 times (incredible) and have even met her. She is so sweet in person you can hardly believe it! She asks a ton of question about me and just kept talking to me. You would think she would just rush right by you, but she actually wanted to have a conversation! Glad you found such an appreciation for her! She really is amazing! I attached a the pic from when I met her. I was pretty mad how bad it turned out, but certainly happy to have it. It was taken in 1999.
