Never mind. literally within 10 seconds of submitting I found it. Chris Grissom was the guy. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=L4vMJmZrbbw I even forgot that it was technically a double mal, since the reserve had the left end cells pinched shut with what appeared to be a line-over.

I remember seeing this a year or two back... it was a videographer that had a bad habit of once he was under canopy he would flip backwards in the harness and hook his foot in the lines to shoot some cool video. In this one particular video, he somehow hooked his foot wrong and induced a nasy low speed spinning mal. Even after cutting away (which didnt do much good since his foot was in the lines he continued to spin, and at one point you see his reserve go flying across his body semi-inflated, unable to catch much air. He eventually gets rid of it and lands OK. As I think about it, the defining characteristic of the video is the "shit" and "fuck" counters in the corner of the screen that tally off how many times he says them. anyone remember where a copy of that video is?

She passed the day I left the country with no email access. I just returned home today to find this out. I'll miss ya "mom". You were always there with a smile, even when in the middle of a crunch and you had a grimace from the pressure of a problem like keeping birds turning and instructors lined up for students... given the opportunity, that wonderful smile would come back as bright as ever, even if it were for a brief moment we knew that it was still there even if we couldnt see it. I cant think of many more people capable of that feat sincerely. Go west. Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO!

2007 Richmond The Boogie Roll Call

Count Gilligan in. Round jumps too. Yes, contrary to rumors, I AM still jumping. The wuffo didnt make me quit. Sure with the little one* I dont have the disposable funds I used to, but the boss makes sure I get at least 2 or 3 cessna jumps a month from a DZ that is closer to me than my true home DZ (gas and time are a real killer these days). I wouldnt miss the boogie for the world. been saving up for it actually so I could afford more than 2 jumps and a single day. If you havent been to the boogie, I cant recommend it enough. Great jumps, and even better parties after dark. (my liver recovered, but not until after I mailed it out for repair) and if you always wanted to jump a round, these guys will take great care of you. Other boogies have specialty aircraft... we have specialty rigs. LOL Lets see summerfest do THAT! * for those that havent heard, I have a 10 month old son named Cooper. What a character.

Oil popped, lightly salted and left overnight to soften a bit. yes, sounds weird but reminds me of Grandma. when I was a kid she would make herself popcorn and watch TV that night. The next day I would stop by (we lived next door) and the remnants would still be on the stove in a pan with the lid on it. I'd grab a handful or two when it was ever so slightly softened (yet not stale). Yes, I also like it fresh, but the taste of that slightly "aged" popcorn brings back memories.

how th.. wha...who..how? That is disturbing picture. I'm guessing it used to be a guy, and that is the post op swelling involved after the sex change? Nope... heard of a penis pump? women have them too.. (slightly different shape and purpose) Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO!

we are 9 months too late for that discussion, now its (attempted) murder. As a new father myself, I cant imagine how f'd up you have to be to do that. I think she deserves a special place in hell, if for nothing more than the obstructionist attitude she took when they tried to find out where the baby was. Ok, you had a kid and put it in a garbage bag, then got caught. Game over, thanks for playing. Tell the authorities where the baby is so he can live out his life with someone who desparately wants to love the child (any child for that matter). sorry its not more eloquent, I find it hard to find words when blinded rage over the stupidity of others.

Yeah, sorry to bring that down at the end. Started out as a feel-good funny... then reality set in. Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO!

buy a used, moderately priced rice burning cruiser to get your fix. No, its not as "cool" as a harley, but you'll end up with a cheap alternative that runs much better. Oh, and it wont annoy the neighbors as much. I am all for american made, but shit. at least make it so that it doesnt wake the dead, and idles smoothly. I have seen 1980's rust bucket pickups with 250,000 miles that idle smoother and quieter than a hog. One more redneck riding by my house revving his harley when I am trying to put my infant to bed and I am gonna go postal on his ass. Same for the punks and thier car stereo bass at midnight. I sound like I should be yelling "get off my lawn!" I sound so old. and as a side note, I saw a candidate for father of the year. guy rode past my house with a 6yo on the back. Neither had helmets. at first I thought, ok, he is only doing about 10mph thru the 'hood, no biggie. then he cleared the stop sign and laid on the throttle.... asshole.

Thats nothing. Try running into her in person in a strip club in a professional manner. THAT my freinds, is awkward. Yup. sitting in a strip club, there to see a former GF who started dancing after we broke up (left on good terms) when I look up across the bar, (square bar layout, bartender in the middle, surrounded on 4 sides) and make eye contact with a stripper getting a drink for herself. She didnt register in my brain at first, but as soon as she screeched and dropped behind the bar out of embarrasment, I realized I knew her. It was even funnier when I started laughing as my buddy (also from HS) next to me asked astonished " what the HELL did you just do?" He didnt realize who she was either until she got the courage up to stand up and come over and say hi. Wonder what happened to her. she was a good kid. too bad she got tied up with the wrong crowd(drugs, etc). It honestly wouldnt surprise me to learn she is dead.

sorry for the double post, but this struck a nerve with me. Might be time to find a new DZ (if possible). IMHO, the "right" DZ is 75% vibe. I have been to quite a few DZs (nowhere near the numbers alot of you have) and found there is a huge swing in chemistry. I found DZs that I personally would LOVE to jump at if they were closer, and others I wish were farther away they are so bad. You need to jump where you feel welcome and have more than freinds and people willing to tolerate jumping with you; you need to find a second family. But I'd at least try to feel out your current DZ. They very possibly could be more receptive than you think. Of course you are always welcome to discuss here, I have found this to be a great support system. Nowhere near the "Wreck".
