I don't bounce in my dreams, I crater ... then I peak my head out and try to determine if anyone noticed (because I'm embarrassed) before pulling myself out of the crater and dusting off. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Shouldn't you be doing video, I'm not paying you to talk. Actually, I'm not paying you at all. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Really? I thought the best suit in our flock ...I am the guy flying video. I think that Adrian's red and white (leading edges...v2) suit looks really nice in pics and video. Brian tried my Orange and black V3 last week and I videoed it. The color was running in the video...atleast at 720p with the go pro. Orange and yellow pops on video. I've noticed a couple more people switching to orange and yellow ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Did you just call me a pussy? Well, you are what you eat ... and right now you're being a dick. PS: Seriously though, I did take it slow and easy but as my runs got longer I began to develop blisters so I bought a pair of those socks. I bought the socks simply because I've learned from past experience how bad athletic shoes can smell when worn w/o socks. Yes, that was another reason I bought the socks. "That looks dangerous."

Uhmm no, I made a tongue in cheek, generalized comment. You were just the last person in the thread when I hit reply. For those who are giving in to the marketing fad of barefoot shoes (that doesn't mean that is what you did Butters, the part of the post which specifically addresses you is now over), I highly recommend you take it very very slow and start with wearing them while walking, before even attempting running. Serious damage to the achillis (among many other things) can occur. Further, don't buy this stupid story about Kenyans being good cause they run to school barefoot. Ezekiel Kemboi lived next to his school, nor did he do any running during his school age years. Honestly, I bought (and love) them for hiking and climbing approaches. Converted the wife recently. I like them when I'm running on trails. I dislike them when I'm running on pavement. PS: I realized it was tongue in cheek, hence the response. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

It was joke. Well, it was meant as a joke. Hopefully it's taken as a joke. Where to go with this, where to go ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

If you're going to run in Vibram Five Finger shoes then I recommend also wearing Injinji socks to prevent blisters. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Wow, that was some fantastic flying! Looking better every year. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Watched the video ... wow, the inflation is so much better (back and belly) in the Phantom 2z than the Phantom 2. Really want to upgrade! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Guess I need more work. I couldn't get myself around with out a small dive beforehand. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Did them this weekend. I think you were missing one step ... I was only talking about a normal frontloop (without altitude loss) not the backfly transition via a frontloop...that involves some asymetry in legs/arms as well Id guess (havent tried that intentionaly yet) I thought you were referring to a backloop in which case you forgot a step. Dive, flair, throw head back, bring knees together and to chest, ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Seeing those pictures ... I want a new Phantom! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

I was wondering if anyone else is doing acrobatic stuff? I do a lot of solos so I've been playing with "roller coaster" dives (flips, rolls, spins, carves, flairs, etc...). Lately I've been working on a head down cork screw ... makes solos a lot more fun! PS: If you're going to do head down then you need to be aware of tandems as your speed will exceed theirs.
