BillyVance 34 #26 July 25, 2005 Quote Dude, some people in the skydiving community don't understand why you do what you do, why the hell would you expect different from a whuffo? Hell, some skydivers don't understand why some of us do CRW!

skysprite 0 #27 July 25, 2005 QuoteOk, that was an awful shot of me in the helmet..... It made me giggle. In a good way, not in a mocking way. ~skysprite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 94 #28 July 25, 2005 That helmet looks like a cross between a tortoise shell and a half bucket you'd expect from the stereotype member of a movie motorcycle gang gorilla character. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron 7 #31 July 25, 2005 QuoteGive me a break. I just think people who view skydiving in this fashion are too concerned about thinking they're on the edge when they're not. I think you are dead unless you save yourself...Name one other sport where you put make a split second choice that puts you on a path to certain death unless you perform another task in time. And I don't think of myself as "thinking I'm on the edge".

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #34 July 25, 2005 How cute! Thanks for posting that, Tiffany. I still have to see the video, but thank you for the picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanillaSkyGirl 6 #35 July 25, 2005 You guys are not dorks. I just saw the segment about 3 times. It was very cool to watch! Hopefully, swooping will get more publicity and will have a place in the Olympics. It was cool to see the interview bits with Johnny Tagle, and all the swooping footage, as always, was exciting and fun to watch. Congrats to everyone in that segment! P.S. Baseball is very boring.

Hey, I'm going to have to back him up here. I wear a skateboarding helmet (it was only $35) and it does the job even though it may look similar.

Superman32 0 #42 July 25, 2005 I thought it was pretty good spot, except for the jerkoff anchor at the end. Now, why was the reporter wearing a rig while on the plane and then goes on to have his first tandem? Did he actually start AFF or was he a skydiver? Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!

kelel01 1 #43 July 25, 2005 Well, I'd guess they did an observer ride, and then a tandem later (or before that). We put rigs on our observers . . . just in case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
champu 1 #44 July 25, 2005 Haven't seen the segment yet, but damn... took them long enough to air it. It seems like forever ago... "could you guys pack over here please so we have some good background activity for the interview... wait no, pack more over here... could you pack slower please... wait, now you're making too much noise, could you pack quieter..."
