Re: launching

Boy do I enjoy watching people giving themselves deliberate, distinct false senses of security just prior to every launch.

Re: launching

You can download the original file, plus some other resolutions directly from Vimeo. Just click on the download button, and chose your file. (or maybe that's what you did) In that cliff launch thread, red wrote: Learn how to cliff launch if you will, but do NOT try to learn how on a real cliff, wher...

Re: landing

You have the link OK - just not the display and on-forum viewing. And I always go to the link anyway to see the submitter, date, comments. This is mostly just a cosmetic issue and I'm sure Zack will have it dealt with within the next couple days. Yes, it's more appealing with an embedded video. He'...
