BenediktDE 2 #9 July 27, 2005 perfect! :-) *clicky* and my desktop wallpaper now. :-) Is it possible to get a hi-res Version of the file to make a print for my "skydive photowall"?For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

BGill 0 #10 July 27, 2005 alright Beth! congrats on AFF1! dude, the exit shot is hilarious. i can't wait to make fun of her this weekend for it. besides exit, how'd the rest of it go? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites gweeks 1 #11 July 27, 2005 After the exit she went fetal, and the next few thousand feet look like a ballistic multi-colored meatball with the occasional leg or arm sticking out. After that she recovered into a nice stable arch, did a couple practice touches, a couple of toe taps, locked on at about 8000 feet, and did a nice stable pull at 5500. There was a crowd of about 20 people watching the video on Sunday night complete with freeze frames, slow-mo and lots of laughter. She was beet red!
