So the other day I took this boat full of crazy middle aged women down the river. It actually was a really fun trip--and the best part is this picture that they took.
We have three requirements to be a river guide at Epley's:
1-- Take six trips down the 70 mile stretch of river we are licensed for.
2-- Get in the boat by yourself (from the river)
3-- Do a backflip off the boat.
Now the first two are kinda self explanatory. Licensure and practicallity. The backflip is just as important in most trips. Simply because people like to see it. And there are times that you have to use every trick in your book to entertain people for 8 hours. Me being me, I couldn't just do a backflip--so I generally do a full. It's funny 'cause the first few times I did it off the boat last year I kept hitting my face on the boat because I'd land where I jumped from. I have since adjusted, and usually think it looks pretty cool--but had never really seen a picture that captured it well.

Now your fulls are going to be messed up on the ground! I found the 100 meter online (nbc.com). Did you see the women's all-around? Nastia Lukin totally rocked it.
Yeah I watched it. At least she won--she deserved it. But she was routinely scored lower than she deserved.
wow, the other guides don't stand a chance at a medal with your difficulty score being so much higher!
welcome to the blogosphere. :)
Good grief, it's about time! I thought you'd never start one! And I'm honored that you check my blog frequently :) By the way, the goatee and 'stache is very becoming. I'd keep it.
I agree with Steph. While I generally prefer men clean-shaven, I think you look really good with facial hair.
