SAIL!

Excellent guide. Works for frag vids too.

I'd guess he tried to flick it over the defender and himself and run onto it. As the ball was behind him he had to improvise and such a flick wouldn't especially outlandish - I've done it - but it's certainly easy to get it wrong and over-do it.

@Sagemind, it was behind him. The guy who scored, the ball was behind him - it's downright indecent to score that. If I gave you a thousand goes to do the same, you probably couldn't get the ball to go 5 yards in front of you - never mind get it to sail 40 yards over a goalkeeper's head and under the crossbar.

Forget the guy walking up the mast (who was clearly walking on the sail).

The skill here was with the sailors keeping the boat at that angle with capsizing...

That guy is a real sailor too. Has some amazing sailing skills.
Last year, he walked out the keel.
Sponsor got their money's worth

Ahhhh, gypsy music. This piece sounds great on accordion.

BY the way folks, if you wanna ensure yer child's future on planet now, teach 'em MandarinSL and the piano before they're five years old-Smooth-sailing, set for life. Oh, cobblings' a decent side-skill as well....Universal necessity, shoes.

And the joke goes sailing over your head.....

Did you watch to the end? He closed his store, lives in seclusion, and surrounds himself with weapons fearing gang reprisals. I'm not sure I'd call that a "win."

Plus, five people dead. Granted, not exactly upstanding members of society, and two clearly intended to kill him (the ones who were walking out the front door then turned around to open fire--sounded like it was an attempted revenge killing), but still it seems difficult to call five people dead a win.

I feel bad for the guy. I don't deny he was within his legal rights to shoot in every situation, but this video basically convinced me that owning a gun as a storekeeper is probably not a great security plan (as he himself notes in the end). This guy trained, he took precautions--I'd say obsessively so--and yet in the end the only reason he is alive today?

Dumb luck.

Attempted robbers still got past his security precautions and into his store, and they still shot him--multiple times. It's only luck that none of those times he got shot they didn't hit him in the spine, heart, major artery, etc. No amount of training is going to stop a bullet.

It's also dumb luck that none of his missed shots hit anyone out in the street (you can see in the stills from the crime scene photos that several bullets pierced the store windows and therefore went sailing out into the public).

Basically, I can't really see this video being used for NRA promotional purposes.

The Olympic Peninsula is a giant rock that ran into the continental US. When the white settlers first got here, they looked at all the massive trees and thought -- FERTILE LAND! Woo-hoo!

They were shocked when they clear cut, dug down, and found rock, like, really quickly.

Port Townsend was supposed to be Seattle -- the main entry point of all ocean shipping. But they could see that there wasn't enough water and the deep bay wasn't protected enough. When a storm came in and beached a bunch of sailing ships. that ended PT's hopes. The money moved to Seattle, protected by Puget Sound.

PT is also in the rainshadow of the Olympics. Over 100" of rain on the ocean side of the Olympics. PT, which is on the other side? Gets 19" a year. Seattle gets 40".

Micro-climates rule over here. Even within city limits -- once I was downtown (which is one block from the water) and struggled to get home through a snow storm. By the time I drove half a mile to a flat area to attempt to go inland, and drove four blocks away from the waterfront, it wasn't even raining.

Micro. Climates.

What you say is true of the Seattle side of Puget Sound. But once you keep going east, over the Cascades, you end up in a huge rainshadow that is most of Eastern Washington.

I couldn't tell you word one about climate in Europe. Typical American!

SFOGuys' gottit-That's why the extra space at the balloon never changes-I used to do this but just compress the thing into my mouth as the other end took up the slack-Sometimes it would POP!

Another cool trick I used to do when I sold balloons(I can blow up one of these and tie it off in under five seconds) was to blow one up for a kid begging me for a free one then break it in half holding the air in both sides then offer it, and let it go when they went to grab it-The two ends go sailing-off in random directions with a "Whheeeeeeeeent!"..kids would either be devastated or ask me to do it again and again

Your video, Sailing camera with Hand-Eye coordination win!, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

The appearance of larger than average waves is a known statistical phenomena to sailors---or should be. Looks like these guys might want to learn about the same rules (especially the two guys that reappears in the channel at 47 seconds)

So, if there are regular 10 foot waves, you should plan with startling regularity, on running into 20-25 foot high waves that will appear to come "out of nowhere"

This translates, BTW, into prudent navigation; since you know that waves start to "break" when the bottom is half the depth of the wave height, in a 10 foot swell, you should stay in water 25 feet deep with your boat unless you want the way-to-frequent for comfort big wave to come crashing down on top you as it "breaks" rather than sliding underneath your boat.

The most recent sailing accident attributable not following this rule was the sinking of the sailboat "Low Speed Chase" off the coast of the Farallon Islands (San Francisco Bay)---when she shaved a corner and ventured into the shallows and was crushed and sank by a breaking wave---(drowning some of her crew and the captain).

Loved these guys. I wore out my Red Sails in the Sunset tape mowing yards one summer...1984 I guess.

I will never hear that song again the same way. Not sail but FAIL!

You drop 100ft or so below the surface and you have rock steady sailing in anything less than a hurricane.
