Cool.

Hey, I'm glad you got the opportunity to see me today, but your turn is up. If you'd like, I can schedule you some recurring appointments, say the fifth Sunday of every February? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I never get out of youtube only having seen one video. Your's led me to here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7fJWlrxIAk&feature=related. I've seen lots of wingovers, but not this level of craziness, especially the jump that starts at 01:55! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Who WOULDN'T like a belly rub? Do you have another picture of that dog? His markings look a lot like my Minka. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Congrats Vinny! It couldn't have happened to a cooler jackass. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Oh cool, for a second I thought I was being schooled by a CRWdog and that there was some flaw in what I teach all my students. I teach them not to chop below 1000 feet, with a downplane being the one exception that proves the rule. I teach them to fly biplanes & side-by-sides, the latter very carefully while watching for the development of a downplane. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Like someone else suggested farther up, I incorporate the basic answer into my FJC. I get kind of doom/gloom at points for emphasis, and then progress back toward rainbows and puppies so that at the end I've hopefully got them casual again with the knowledge that bad shit does happen, and it's quite unlikely to happen to them if they do what I've taught them.

"Maybe if you do ok this time, they'll let you go by yourself." Blues, Dave Oh you guys are so hard on him! You think this is hard? Wait till it's 105 degrees out and we've got seven or eight "flowers" sitting on the ground waiting for him. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

5'3", red hair (sometimes), boisterous, and kind of wierd...she was definitely cool by me. I had no idea she was so much older than me. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm a proponent of telling them the truth, but I don't work at a big dz where fatalities are relatively common. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Why would landing a downplane be better than chopping a downplane at 50, 100, 200 feet? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

It wasn't *that* bad, but definitely leaves a margin for improvement. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Three 9-year-old girls named Marcie, Sue, and Joann are standing in a hallway at school. Sue says something Joanne doesn't like. Joann turns to Marcie and says "that's it, I'm not talking to Sue until she apologizes". Sue says to Joann "Apologize for what?" Joann says to Marcie, "tell her I'm not talking to her!" Sue says to Marcie "Why the hell would I apologize to her while she's being such a stupid bitch" Joann says to Sue "Am not..." then remembers she's not talking to her. This continues till the bell rings for classes to start, and resumes the following morning. It becomes cyclical in nature with high points and low points, all of them demonstrating appropriate maturity for the girls age. Stupid, right? Personally, I'd prefer our diplomatic efforts show more wisdom and maturity than the average 9-year-old girl. In recent years, that hasn't seemed to be the case. McCain and Clinton have both promised to keep not talking to Sue until she promises to carry their books for a week or some such thing. I'd rather we have a leader who sits down and talks directly with the Iranian leadership to establish a) what our differences are, b) what we can collectively do to resolve or at least minimize them. You know, basically talk like adults. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Very cool.

MAJOR point deduction for posting a NSFW link that was mostly male nudity. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Seriously? No, for real, come on. Seriously? She was the epitamy of a nasty filthy looking dirty whore who thought she actually had a penis between her legs instead of a vagina. Honestly I can't even remember what she looked like. I was like 13 or 14 years old and knew she'd done porn, i.e. she might put out. At that age, potential availability was a good enough substitute for attraction. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

What she said. David Byrne was brilliant! Now I have to go find out what he's up to these days. Edit to add: Check it, he was still bringing it in the late 90's, albeit in a somewhat different suit! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Wendy O. Williams Samantha Fox Madonna .. ... Hell, who am I kidding. I was a teenager, I wanted pretty much all of them. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

:6:0 Had students sitting on the ground when the winds came up yesterday, otherwise I'd have made a few more. 3 regular tandems, 1 frontside tandem with Rosie (congrats!), one tandem video jump, and one 12,000 foot hop & pop with 10 others to enjoy the view around our new home.

On the A-card, in the notes between cats D & E, it says "Prior to freefall self-supervision (typically after the first jump in Category E). . ." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

He almost killed me today, should we start a club? Oh, and thank you VERY much to both of you.

Congrats DangerRoo, and go easy on JasonRose...he's had a rough day. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
