I'm the second jumper out of the plane, not the first.

This is my fourth freefall, third level (had to repeat the second level 'cause I didn't pass!).

In the left hand corner, watch for the plane to go into a straight nose dive immediately after we exit at 13,500 ft.

Entire freefall lasted over a minute, chute deployed at 6,000 feet after falling over a mile and executing two or three full rotations to include panoramic views of the ocean to the west, Tijuana to the south, the mountains to the east and Chula Vista to the north.

Music: Radio Birdman "What Gives?"

Originally created for Comedy Central's Virtual Podium video contest, "Frosty Bear for President" was rejected for violation of contest rules. Was it too violent? Language too strong? Or perhaps certain individuals are simply trying to keep a good bear down?

It wasn't long after I shot these ladies that one of their songs was used in a car commercial. It was great when I first heard it but now it drives me nuts. "Wahoo, woo hoo hoo, wahoo woo hoo hoo ...."

How many X's can you find in this photo?

Or am I the only one who read Highlights magazine in the dentist's office?
