to stay in fine swooping form, his diet includes the consumption of much water (as evidenced by the preceeding pics!) throughout the day...i would think bud lite qualifies.

"a nice even flare"....yeah if that's what you want...but that is way too basic for the joe-ster. actually, he has been working on that landing for several months now. he rises with the morning sun just to practice tirelessly. IMHO, it was a perfectly executed toe dig front flip with a half gainer. and as far as the "reaching" bit, the camera doesn't show the guy just to the side of the pond holding out a Bud Lite, a fav beverage of the man in question. imagine that, trying to pull off that landing and still enjoy his beer along the way, balls man, big balls. there, i got your back joe, now represent!

great job girl...you rocked!! i must admit a bit of jealousy that joe was the guy you were strapped to ... but it was fun to see your eyes dance and your smile catch the sun up close and personal. you did great. and now you know...
