  1. but aside from that BOOM! 164 way Nice one people
  2. What can I say, I'm an adult, and tend to conduct myself accordingly. Most sarcasm (especially on the internet) is condescending and insulting and really not something that should be applauded.

  3. +1 US older guys work better with ANALOG because we were raised on clocks and watches. The younger gen has had digital all their lives. for them analogue is more difficult as it's foreign You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

  4. You could do much better by feeding those videos through Microsoft's Hyperlapse algorithm. Instead of taking every 10th frame from a single source, as they do in the demo, you'd use frames from different cameras with similar orientation. Then, by changing the frame input order, you could create a virtual camera that's free to travel throughout the entire formation. Oops, sorry, I forgot to turn on the sarcasm font. Why did you even bother with it. It reads like petty jealousy, even though you dont freefly. Aw, shucks, Squeak, it's been so long since you got up in my grill. I've missed it so. And if you read that as petty jealousy, methinks you might be projecting. I'm cheering heartily all my friends who are participating in this record, as I have friends who've done other records and competitions.
  5. We would like you to say horrible things about your instructor John. Im assuming it's John Mitchell, he sucks as an instructor More on point, nerves effect everyone differently, for some it's the nervous anticipation that allows them to perform well in stressful situations, for others it can be paralysing and everything in between. Personally other than initial door fear on jump one, I had no real fears at all on any of my AFF jumps. On jump 50 however, I near shat myself and was almost terrified. people in the plane noticed and were concerned for me. I jumped and have been doing so since, but on that day at that time I was scared shitless. and even 1700 jumps later I still get a little nervous if I'm at a new DZ, or havent jumped in awhile, or even when I am attemping a bigger than normal or more complex jump than is ussual. It's a normal reaction to putting your life at risk. If I ever lose it, I'll consider giving skydiving away, as for me at least, that would be complacency, and complacency in this game can get you dead.

  11. the oympic also generate billions for the hosting economy. whether or not the Gov't breaks even the locals do well. Also it never ceases to amaze me the ammount of people who sit back on the computers who have never attempted competing at anything close to an elite level criticising those who do.

I climb at about 5.10a/b, places where portaledges are needed are multi day multi pitch routes. You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
