piahenzi 0 #2 March 30, 2009 As you and I both know, the traffic points should be higher but that would eliminate the bonus pts for not having manpris. Tough call but I think you did a good job of balancing the spread :-) It really is a wonderful photo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frost 1 #5 March 30, 2009 Lets not talk about that. Lets just say we made them an offer they couldn't refuse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piahenzi 0 #6 March 30, 2009 ...there probably was some Russian Mafia threatening the lives of the editors at Parachutist but shhhhhhhhhhhhhh... it's a secret!!! In all seriousness, a good photo takes both a good subject and a good photographer who knows how to capture it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #9 March 30, 2009 Is that a moved guide ring using a slink to put it up on the top of the risers? That's a sweet picture, by the way and I was glad to see it in parachutist!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

frost 1 #10 March 30, 2009 yes, that's a Precision style slink wrapped around the loop. it has a brass ring to protect the slider rings from dings. I was too! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derekbox 0 #14 April 3, 2009 But why are you on toggles? You digging aren't you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMFin 0 #16 April 3, 2009 YEah.. Real swoopers have their toggles taken away since they just induce more drag.. Cool photo ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frost 1 #18 April 4, 2009 Quote you are missing an extra +50 for the pants That's true!! I dont think they'd print it if I was without the pants... Here is a new logo for the website: Liquid Sky pants - is there anything they can't do? Quotewhy are you on toggles? Simple. Flaring is optional. I chose to exercise my options.

Derekbox 0 #19 April 5, 2009 Yea, flare in the middle of the pond. I did that once. It was right before I went swimming. I read on dropzone.com that you are supposed to end a swoop w a flair, not begin a swoop with a flair. Dig it baby dig it deep out of that corner. xoxo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frost 1 #20 April 5, 2009 you learn how to do a half way decent 270 yet? I'll get my boy Shane to coach you at the Farm, he was killing it with 900 jumps, i am sure you can give you some tips, tubby. P.S. what the hell are you doing up at 5:11 AM?? Getting a double whopper with cheese from Burger King? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NexGenSkydiver 0 #21 April 6, 2009 I offered him free coaching, as I felt bad for him at lake wales. I would be willing to try and help him, but it will cost him this time. Also, very nice pic Mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
