Well I guess Kim and I need to pack our cypress's for when we go to Germany so we can get those done sounds like there is a good reason to get rigs back in working order. We wouldn't miss it. Has a location been chosen yet? Since Joe is going to be there I am going to sleep for a week before showing up he nearly killed us last year

ok I am finally feeling somewhat normal again so I want to take a moment to thank Capitol Sydiving, Erik Santee and the Rats for hosting all of us and making sure everyone had a great time. The comp went so smoothly. Also congrats to Chappy for winning you are flying so good. Sorry I told people that you were sleeping in the truck. You were not coming out of that truck for anythin

This weekend was just what the skydive doctor ordered. Thanks RATS for a great weekend and I would really like to send a shout to Justin for the last jump to help me not get killed by Kim. I would have never lived that down. Look forward to the next event.

Dallas is having a skyvan this weekend and I believe Heathe is flying it.

I second that. Vibe you guys hosted a great weekend. Thanks to all that showed up and Scott from Kansas. Sorry I was too hung over on Sunday to jump. Yagerbombs got me tough. See you guys this Saturday. Paul

I agree if the weather is good Kim and I will come up.

I will pass the word around Austin and San Marcos I am sure we can get some or our crew to come up. One condition if the Dallas crew goes you have to keep the red bull and yager away from them Friday night because some of them and they know who they are are worthless the next day.

That is awesome congrats now you need to come down and teach me. Hope to see you guys at our Halloween boogie.

Chapy give me next weekend to work on this and I will get back with you. Next time you are down all we need is 2 maybe 3 jumps and we will get it.

I second that you guys have perfected the art of alcohol consumption.

I would like to thank Vibe for putting on a great Freefly event this weekend at Skydive Dallas. The weather was good and we had a great group of flyers all having a great time. You guys in Dallas rock hope to get together more often.

Can the vidz be about anything or are we talking about skydiving only? "I know who Mike Jones is. I saw him tipin 44's earlier rolling with his ho's"

I would like to THANK the Gravity Rats for hosting another great weekend. Everyone did a great job and had a lot of fun. I would also like to thank the Dallas crew for showing their support. You guys rock. I hope Brandon's neck is ok after having to support all those medals Saturday night. Maybe next year we will not be so hung over on Sunday. Big THANKS to the RATS (Brian, Robert & Shannon) Blue Skies, Paul

Just checking to see who all is heading up to Dallas for Skyfest. Paul

Trent I will be shooting Freefly video for Martini Shots againn this year so I will see lots of you guys in the air. Paul

Sunny it sounds like everyone has good advice so just one thing to keep in mind while learning to stand especially when you are going to be jumping with other freeflyers. You will most likely experience some unstablness on your first few dives so be prepared for it and make sure you are always able to cork into a stable freeflying position to keep your speed up. Have fun, Paul

Hey what do you mean about "Kim and Paul Again" on the photo page? I think we need more

Levin have you got your base picked and if so are they going to practice before the weekend attempts? Paul

Wish Kim and I could be there but we have graduation parties and Mothers Day. Blue Ones, Paul

I would like to thank the Gravity Rats for working their butts off and putting on a great weekend. Also congratulations to all of you that participated in the competition and to those that won medals and prizes. It was great to see the enthusiasm and all of the incredible flying. Thanks Rats, GR#4 Paul

Kim and I will be at Skydive Houston Saturday morning if the weather is good.

Now this has got my blood pumping already. Brian we need to hook up for some practice. I will be there for sure.

Well I can tell you that MannLasher is ready to start playing and if the Rats think they haven't been practicing together well I have made a total of 6 jumps this year and my better half has yet to get in the air so we are ready to go. It should be interesting. Now we just need the weather to cooperate a little or a lot in my case. Can't wait to play with everyone. Late, Pablo

Levin this sounds great just let me know if you need any help contacting people. Blue Skies, Paul

Without seeing video of your flying I can't tell you for sure what you are doing but most likely when you are head down you probably have a tendency to almost point at what you are looking at with your head & this causes you to lean forward which will cause you to move forward. While you are in a sit you are probably just leaning back to much. Next time you try it really concentrate on what the wind around your body is doing. Try and feel where the wind is making contact with your body. You should be able to feel whether it is hitting your back or the back of your leg and that will give you a good indication on what is causing the forward movement. I would recommend finding a credible coach at your DZ to go up with you and make sure they have video so you can see your flying style.
