CanuckInUSA 0 #2 August 30, 2005 FatBastard got some more pics today to share with everyone. We're still awaiting our first major chow, but three swoopers (Justin, Ryan and Dave) did experience some minor chows today with Dave giving us a fabulous view of the world while upside down. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as we enjoyed swooping the pond. The first series of pics is from Dave's mini-chow ... oh Dave is a little bruised from this chow, but he should be fine and I would like to add that he got back on the horse after this chow and had a nice swoop over the pond. I'm glad you're not (seriously) hurt Dave ... Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spizzzarko 0 #8 August 30, 2005 Damn, Ryan looks like he's holding his breath before he even get's wet! The photo's of Jim will go well at his boogie on the 29-31st of February. And that Velo of yours looks good over the water. It looked like Justin didn't quite have enough umph to get over that berm. Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #13 August 30, 2005 QuoteRyan looks like he's holding his breath before he even get's wet! This picture of Ryan wasn't from his mini-chow run. Actually his mini-chow run was his best effort of the day. He had a nice swoop going. I thought he was going to come up short and full out chow, but he didn't. He managed to just barely make it to the edge of the pond. He got wet, but only partially and it was a nice effort. I'm pretty sure some pictures do exist, I just couldn't get my hands on them in time. QuoteThe photo's of Jim will go well at his boogie on the 29-31st of February. As much as we like to give Mr Harris shit, this effort was the swoop of the day. It was very very nice!!! QuoteIt looked like Justin didn't quite have enough umph to get over that berm. Justin had a really nice carving swoop going over the water (he touched about 2/3 of the pond), but you're right he didn't have enough to get over the berm. QuoteAnd that Velo of yours looks good over the water. I'm still going through my growing pains learning how to swoop over water, but the pictures captured from my last swoop of the day today was my best effort yet. I finally got my canopy diving and I dragged my foot through about 1/2 of the pond before I had to pop it up to clear the berm (which is only temporary as we locals have been swooping an unfinished pond). Good God .... Pond Swooping Rocks!!! Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
