I am stoked. I did my first roll today (solo). followed by 5 more and then one to the right. I am going to have to do more of these. It was a lot of fun. after I have mastered the roll, it is on to loops.

Yep, hemorrhoids in the making for sure.

Rear end surgeons love it, mine said pilots were 90% of his business. It's one day in and out, and on the way out you get a prescription for 7 days of pain killers. They were needed....

Not much is free in life including the fun of acro.

Default The "Fuge"

This has always cracked me up. The "g-face". Once in a while, I break out my own video tape and give myself a good laugh--one of the best souvenirs I have from my previous life. Luckily no G-lock, "funky chicken" or puke bag on my tape!

First one that came up on Google...
