Snowflake 0 #1 May 21, 2002 The Gravity Rats had their first annual Freefly Revolution at Skydive San Marcos this past weekend and it was a riot. Got to meet some really cool and talented freeflyers and I even managed to take first place in begginers solo expression. I'm still trying to figure out how that happened since I was the least expirienced flyer there. I got Robert to shot my video we jump and it rocks I'm through with all my transitions half way through the dive so we play the rest of the dive. We get down and check out the video and theres a shot of me going in the plane and then a shot of Robert collapsing his slider....oops someone turned their camera on then off before exit it was too funny ( always remember to check for that red light.....HAHA!!!). The redo went great except I fixated on Robert who was backtracking to video my opening so I pulled a tad low which put robert a little low so he landed out, but it's one of the funnest jumps I've had to date. The Party was great and the band was excellent (packer Tim you rock) I'm not sure if they got the Texas record for bigway on Sunday but it was close and the video of it was the shit. Robert and Brian thanks for all the hard work it was great and I can't wait for next year"....and then the canopy opens and you float down to the ground like a multicolored snowflake"JGRat# 27 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
