demoknite 0 #1 December 21, 2006 I stumbled upon this today. Rachael Ray does a tandem with one of her viewers. I searced the forums and all I got was EVOO. Sorry if this is a repeat. Link does not pop or click as my HTML sucks. Watch and discuss. http://youtube.com/watch?v=l7H4WmSWe14&feature=RecentlyWatched&page=1&t=t&f=b Edited by slotperfect - because my HTML doesn't suck!

JohnMitchell 16 #2 December 21, 2006 Ha, that was alright! My wife jokes that I have a crush on RR. I don't, but she sure has a fun personality, the kind I love taking on tandems, all enthusiastic and raring to go. What a nice little plug for our sport, and congrats to the Ranch for doing such a nice job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icon134 0 #5 December 21, 2006 Clicky I think I might have a bit of a crush on her... this just cements it a bit more... its too bad she's married... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL, tandem bowling. Actually she's lucky she didn't break something. They should use that as a training film for tandem students: "When we tell you to pull your legs up, PULL YOUR LEGS UP!"

algboy 0 #9 December 22, 2006 After seeing the video, I can't believe she didn't bust a tibia or ankle or worse. She's was working the whole "perky" thing so hard that she nearly pranged the $%@# out of herself. Either she truly didn't hurt herself or she's great at sucking-it-up after the fact `cause that looked like a major owwwweeeyy to me. BTW: Did it all happen too fast for her TI to notice and correct her legs down approach? I thought TIs used the brace-their-legs-on-your-ankles technique for slow learners. Is that not done anymore--along with the practice landing at altitude? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
recovercrachead 0 #10 December 22, 2006 There some nice old ranch video of an X TM AKA "swoop" who just dragged a student across the pees face first. It just must be those ranch winds.Track high, Pull LOW!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean358 0 #13 December 22, 2006 Thanks for the link – was great to see The Ranch on TV. But Rachel Ray? Yikes! WTF is up with that? Am I the only one that thinks she’s a bad parody of a talk show host with too much speed in her system? Crush on her – are you kidding? You couldn’t pay me enough to sit through dinner with her.

jimmytavino 16 #14 December 22, 2006 hahahahaha people have been bustin' me for years,,, since I often used "danger Zone" on tandem videos that i made..!!! hell.. I only used maybe 45 or 60 seconds of it and then at least... changed to something else!!!!! ( NO.... NOT Pettys' freefallin' ) so now here on national TV,,,,, freakin' Danger Zone for the WHOLE video... hahahahaha nonetheless.. nice footage and the multiple camera people is a good technique.. surprised that there were NO hand-cam shots.... I know I know... shut Up and Jump... plaudits to Joe R, Bill R and Company.. the lawn looked nicely manicured... jimmy from upstate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DougH 270 #15 December 22, 2006 It looks like they would have come in hard regardless of where her legs are? Could just be the way the video looks though.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites riggerrob 623 #24 December 25, 2006 RR's TI flared too high and RR compounded the problem by failing to lift her legs. Fortunately, RR's TI was professional enough to roll onto his side so that he absorbed the bulk of the landing shock with his hip muscles instead of her face. The second TI was better, flaring at the correct height and opted for a conservative butt slide landing. BUT, I would need two sets of ear plugs to jump with RR. She is waaay too loud, like a bad talk show host on crack! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
