It's been done for ages. Where do you think "Rub a dub-dub, three men in a tub" came from! I mean, really, did you ever stop to think what a "dub-dub" is and just who was rubbing it?

Hi all, I seem to be stuck at a road block in my skill progression in a sit. I have about 200+ sit jumps and feel very comfortable and stable in a sit. I have no problem keeping a heading, staying with a group, doing transitions (such as 180 or 360 side cartwheels) while staying in control and maintaining heading. BUT, for the life of me, I still cannot move forward. I've been trying like hell to stick my hips out as I've been advised by many other people who have a great fwd drive, but I don't move forward. I know this is impossible to comment on specifically without video (I'm actually about to do some coaching with video), but I'm just wondering if anybody else got stuck on this and if they wouldn't mind sharing what they did to overcome the problem, i.e. what was your breakthrough? Thanks kindly for any helpful comments. BTW, I did a search for "forward drive" but didn't see anything relevant. If there is already a thread here with what I'm looking for, I'd be happy to have it pointed out. John

Let's hear it for the scantily clad ladies! Nice pics You all look like you're having LOTS more fun than we do in our pics. (Why is that??) The contest is on! Whoohoo!! My two golden rules are at least 15 mins of abs and push-ups daily and no ice cream until May 1. Day 3 and so far so good...
-
I agree that new players should be allowed in any time. I saw the deadline more as an incentive to get people to join, not to keep people out. Besides, the longer people wait to join in, the more they'll have to work against the clock anyway to get in shape by May 1. I say the only condition is that all new entries' photos should be taken naked as punishment for being late.

I think I agree about the water. I'll try guzzling a lot more this weekend to see if that helps. I apologize to anybody next to me in advance if I end up peeing on the plane.

What's the most idiotic comment you've heard from a whuffo?

Probably showing up at a friend's house with a gynormous gear back on my back filled with two rigs and two jump suits and being asked, "My god, is that what you carry on your back when you jump? Where does the parachute come out?" -
Skydiving. Seriously! I never leave the DZ without getting a huge headache. The first thing I always do after leaving is take Excedrin. I either have a brain tumor the size of a skydiver's belly or I'm not drinking enough water when I jump and am getting dehydrated at altitude. Any brain surgeons care to comment?

OMG so there really *is* a cure? Yes, it looks like a collage of all our shirtless photos could be the scientific breakthrough that psychologists have been waiting for to cure gayness in males and turn all women into lesbians!
-
My two cents would be that as long as somebody did at least post their photos to the thread, they should be able to email them now to Peter since all of us on here (like half the population of earth, right?) are witnesses to the fact that they posted their pics.

QuoteAAAAaaah jesus!! My eyes, my eyes!! Oooooh how it burns!!! Good god, y'all need some sun!! HEY! The ladies are NOT allowed to make negative comments about the guys! But as one of the guy contestants commenting, gawdDAAAAMN, I think looking at all our photos just cured my homosexuality!
-
Maybe we should organize a "Belly gone" naked boogie in May to celebrate newfound hotness for all.
-
I'm pretty sure I'm the fattest guy to post pictures thus far. ________________________________________________________________________________ Maybe so, but on the bright side, with some hard work you probably have the best chance of winning! (There were several other comments I was thinking of writing having to do with giving birth to alien beings, but I decided to be positive and encouraging instead
-
Anything involving large groups of skydivers and an activity other than skydiving is usually dangerous.
-
Well, then, one smiling avatar coming up for the nice gal in Colorado! Nobody here's ever called me hot before. Good job! You men are starting to make this a little less one-sided. By the way, you are much hotter when you smile.
-
As I started to type "swallowing", I knew it was only a matter of time before a comment like that popped up. Get your minds out of the gutter, people! (and drag mine up with you on the way if you would.) Wow, a guy said that....just wow.
-
Too bad this would be off limits for any serious contestant in the belly off! (or just avoid swallowing the chocolate, I suppose...)
-
That's awesome. I'm a professional language interpreter and first started skydiving to help me conquer my fear of being in front of the mic interpreting. I now have no fear when I skydive, but interpreting still scares the shit out of me.

Personally, I think that the intake of junk food is inversely proportional to the amount of sex one has, and since the guys on this site seem to be more sex-crazed than the gals, I'd say the men will have more sex in the next three months and thus eat less junk food and win. (I KNEW taking that Logic class in college would pay off some day!)

Euh, that can be fun! When I lived in Japan I did one of those naked shrine festivals where me and 300 other particpants ran through a little village wearing nothing but fundoshi (Japanese thongs, essentially) and then ran into the ocean and swam -- on January 15! Needless to say, I had a 102-degree fever the next day. BUT, my furry white ass was on the front page of the paper! (So is this relevant enought to be awarded a spanking?) that's a great idea... except for the fact that its like 10 degrees outside today (with windchill well below zero...) everything would be like... tiny and stuff...
-
Hmm, maybe stick with the home alone thing, then. There's always Her Holiness Miss Madame Honorable Ladybug's suggestion of "spicing it up" a bit beforehand, and my thought of switching over to vid mode afterwards for a fun X-tube posting. (don't forget to post the link!)
-
Uh, I think it does. Why not see if anybody in the office (your female boss, perhaps?) has a camera. Trust me, taking these pics alone at home isn't much fun!
-
Just a smart-ass comment. "Today is actually March 5, 2004, but I'm psychic and know that I'll be in a belly-off contest in two years" explaining why I used to take photos of myself when I was out of shape holding signs with future dates on them. (in other words, no, I don't get the newspaper, yes, I'm too cheap and lazy to go to the corner market to buy one, and yes, I took the photo yesterday!!)
-
Just sent mine in. For those who are too curious to wait, and so that Monkey boy doesn't feel lonely all naked out here, I'll post mine here as well. Gettin' all half naked like that and setting up the camera for timer photos made me feel like I was getting ready to make a home-made vid for X-tube!
-
Getting ready to send mine. Here's a thought, how about changing our avatars to our out-of-shape pics -- having to look at that everyday here could create some real inspiration. Though on second thought, having to look at all those guts in mass quantities everyday could make people want to vomit. (and the competition is on!) As for the skinny folk, I'd say that this is about who can get into the best shape compared to where they are today, which could also easily be going from beanpole to ripped, toned and six-packed. J

Now that we're both in the belly off (well, I will be as soon as I take my pics here shortly) and in competition against each other, I'd be more than happy to bring you TUBS of ice cream. Thick, high-calorie, fattening ice cream I'm actually going to try to swear the shit off after tonight (well, until may 1). I have the last carton of B&J chilling in the freezer right now.
