ryan_d_sucks 0 #1 August 26, 2006 I've been watching a lot of skydiving videos recently, and I have to say.. People make THE most contorted, bewildered, and just funny facial expressions. I guess its just because skydiving is just such an intense feeling.. Here's one of myself from my first tandem just after the canopy deployed/inflated. Post some more if you have any good ones.

Sockpuppet 0 #4 August 26, 2006 I've always wondered if skydiving tones the face. All the wuffos you see on tandems have faces that flap. Skygods however do not. Maybe its genetic. ------ Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MB38 0 #5 August 26, 2006 Here are a few of mine. Ironically, the expression in "1" isn't fear... I think the camera just caught a bad moment. Regardless, it looks like pants-filling terror.I really don't know what I'm talking about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The result of which is what you see: a "What the F*ck is wrong here im not moving ANYWHERE?!!!" i eventually rolled over with my tail between my legs and tracked off. I did not discover till i was on the ground and saw the pic how vertical my legs were...oops. You can see my good friend Laura lauging appropriately at me in the background. "My mom says im cool" The second is just me feeling good and happy cuz im in the air clear skies and thanks for for pics noah!So there I was...

Hey, it's Oklahoma... you want booze on Sunday, you gotta make it yourself. :) I wear those boots every day, including on every jump I've been on so far. Several years ago I acquired a preference for high-top shoes, wearing Converse All-Stars (when they were still made in the USA) and high-top work boots. After a while I just wore the work boots all the time. Last spring, right before I started jumping, my then-current pair of boots were worn out and I knew that shoes with hooks were a bad idea for jumping. The kid at the work-clothing store understood steel-toe vs regular, high-top vs low, waterproof vs not, but "no hooks, I'm going to jump out of an airplane with them" sort of threw him for a loop. Eventually he worked it out and I bought some boots. EulePLF does not stand for Please Land on Face.
