So how far away was the board when it fell past you? That looked painful, I think I'd be walking funny today. Nice job chopping it quickly, and I'm glad you got it on video. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Shannon's eyeball was freaking me out anyhow, so this thread settles it. I'm off to the bar now. And I believe I'll have some Patron just for Vinny. "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

LOL - I was thinking the same thing. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

They're not allowed period. I still have an IOU that allows me one personal attack (against you). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Excellent summary Bolas! Nice work! Hey Frenchy, can you make this post sticky? Blues, Dave Thinking this thread should now take less than 5 posts to get to sex "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

My buddy Travis did exactly that skydive at Lost Prairie a few years ago for his 1000th. Of course he was the tip of the head. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

1996, my 33rd jump. Best I can figure after the fact is that one of my legstraps went really loose during opening. In any case, I couldn't get the main to stop turning, even with full toggle input the opposite direction. I remember hearing the 3-rings release and thinking "Hey, that sounds just like it does in the movies" followed immediately by "Why the hell am I thinking about movies at a time like this?!" Soon thereafter I had a 26' LoPo over my head. I could see the needle on my altimeter winding down and figured my reserve must be malfunctioning. I looked at it and started to stress, then calmed myself with the thought that even if something is going wrong with it, I don't know how to fix it. I "changed the view" a couple of times to keep from landing (crashing) on a car, and PLF'd as well as I could. I realized at that point that the whole jumping off the picnic table to practice PLFs wasn't very realistic. Jumping off the top of the hangar would have been closer to it. In any case, I wasn't injured. The cute gal that came running up to me was asking "Are you ok, are you ok??!". I pointed to her camera and said "Did you get a picture?" Alas, she'd burned a whole roll on my main, after I'd chopped it, thinking I was still wrapped in it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Hell, this has more potential than the 3-D TV with smell! "Working? Is that what we'll call it? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Dude, Your new avatar ROCKS! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

CRW dogs. No other group even comes close. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The real thing would be a much better reason to not leave the house, but unfortunately it ain't in the cards this weekend. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

You sure about that? I used to fight fires. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Did you see the shirts Shell & I made up for Lost Prairie? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

You GOTTA be kidding! Cruel, I tell ya. Just plain cruel. Congrats on the win!

Try one on which the candidate blocks both drogue releases with his hands while pulling neither. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Porn on this would have to be tough to abandon during working hours, wouldn't it? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

That's my favorite. When the video guy complains about a fast fall rate. Hey, I'm wearing the baggiest suit I can find, I'm getting the drogue out quick, and I'm getting the students arms out quick. That's about all I can do. If you need to jump with a 20-lb vest and no jumpsuit to get your video do that. If you need to freefly to stay with us (and are capable of doing so safely) do that. But don't come whining to me because you didn't like the fact that I had to take a fat bastard. How do you think *I* liked it?!? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Or point at them and laugh. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Lets have a belly contest! A "post your (not so) beautiful belly" thread? LOL - I'd probably do that, though I doubt I'd win. I'm more of a puffed up middleweight than a true heavyweight. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

You did see this thread, right?

Why, did you get the vomit in your mouth? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

EEEWwwwwww! that has to be the worst! What do I win??! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I hope it was a female. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
