RoysPlayThing 0 #8 April 10, 2006 I have plenty of photos also of the CPC ... but I took about 600 photos so it will be a while of sifting out the good ones to post for everyone to see. I also have a complete slide by slide of the Super Duper Steve Dip! I picked out a great one to mat, and frame. it'll look great in the guest room. Here's a little sample..Whoooopsie Daisy!! _______________________________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

CanuckInUSA 0 #11 April 11, 2006 QuoteHere's a little sample..Whoooopsie Daisy!! Watch out for those rear riser stalls. They can be abrupt under especially while making a turn. This jumper is lucky his stall happened over water. Mine last September was over hard ground and it hurt. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaerock 1 #12 April 11, 2006 Well, it wasn't really a stall, it was more like...a pimp-slap from the pond. At that point his canopy was just a big air brake, it happened so fast he didn't even have time to take his hands off of his risers. It was pretty harmless...this time :> -R QuoteQuoteHere's a little sample..Whoooopsie Daisy!! Watch out for those rear riser stalls. They can be abrupt under especially while making a turn.

kaerock 1 #13 April 11, 2006 Rob, Kudos to your friends for the stills and videos, much thanks for letting me dub the stuff too. I'd love some of the high-res ones of me. Catch ya at the next event ;> -Rory You be the king and I'll overthrow your government. --KRS-ONE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robap26 0 #14 April 11, 2006 Yeah, Josh and Heather really did a nice job with the video and photos. Andy really owes Heather; without that video he wouldn't have gotten that great speed score. I think Josh will be coming with me to Davis for the next event so we should get more great shots there too. Maybe we should all chip in get him a few jump tickets or something. Rory, I will bring a photo CD for you to Davis. Unless you want them sooner then e-mail me and I will mail it to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spizzzarko 0 #22 April 14, 2006 Don't fly with your tonge out either... You could bite it off, and they would have to find it and sew it back on like John Bobbit's Penis. Wouldn't that just suck? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
