Diving Boards

[Crock]

This was my favorite diving board ever. Spent a lot of hazy summer days flipping off that thing in college.

Yikes, she is up high there on the balance beam and great form I can see a lot of smashed knees and shins before you get to that level. You're a lucky man OG.

My wife was a gorgeous diver. When we'd take the kids to the Truckee HS pool people would stop what they were doing and watch when she started diving. She wasn't doing anything difficult, just looked damn good doing it. Age 40.
Not diving but here she is in college.

Don't ask to see her tits. She didn't have any back then.

Is she the voyeur or the gymnast?

My cat likes to hang out on the diving board. Sometimes he gets right out on the edge and watches us swim.

My dad was the director of Parks and Recreation in our town. We used to go to the pool on Sunday mornings before it opened to the public. Story is that I went off the diving board when I was 2. Just walked over and jumped in. I think they knew they were in trouble from then on!

Holy cow those are some huge mitts on that guy.

Years ago I saw a documentary about Jeb Corliss (pro wingsuit flyer). Apparently, when he was 2 he relentlessly pestered his parents to take him up to the 10-meter platform at their pool. They finally relented, thinking that once up there he'd get scared and be over it. The took him up and the instant they put him down he sprinted off the end. A frantic rescue ensued since he was 2 and couldn't swim. Before they even got him out of the water he was yelling "Again! Again! Again!"

Lion cut. Old guys have trouble grooming.

The velocity you hit the water from 10m is impressive. You will have a sore neck and shoulders from impact the next day if you are diving and you can seriously injure your neck if you go in crooked.

Damn, you nailed it. He ends up with dreadlocks every spring so we have to cut.

Fuck that looks amazing.

We made fun of the diving team kids during HS swim team. Looking back on it, they had a better deal. They rigged up a hose to the shower in the restroom and filled up large garbage cans with hot water to sit in in-between their dives. For some stupid reason we thought swimming 5000 yards was a better idea...

just noticing the nomenclature

why do the midwesterners affiliate hucking off high platforms with throwing large fruit into the water?

You find your leak?

Suicide dive from 3 meter was my best act. I (can still) land it on all fours. At 1 minute nails perfect suicide dive.

Death Diving in Norway. Skip to 3:00 for the "diving"

Love the form- kinda like lawn darts in skiing.

Grab ankles behind your head is kinda like a method grab. Classic.

Yeah, some piping (above ground thank goodness) and the skimmer. Guy was supposed to fix it today but I haven't heard from him yet.

Particularly lucky that bad as my balance is, I had her to climb ladders (but I don't let her climb any more.) She asked me--"What would you do if I fell off this roof and killed myself?" "Hire someone to clean off the pine needles."

Is she the voyeur or the gymnast?

Spotter, not voyeur, you dumbass :--). And she's the gymnast. Yeah, that's some pretty good hops. The funny thing was, she was the least graceful skier I ever saw. She never got the idea of dynamic balance--she wouldn't lean into a turn, never got even a degree of edge angle. Didn't stop her from bombing the slope.

That pool really skews the Ogden scale

How hard is it to get insurance?

Wife made me cut down our diving board the day we closed on the house. Sad

But the pool wasn’t designed properly. It was only good for cannonballs or jackknifes. If you dove out, you would hit the slope of the shallow end.

I home insurance shopped last year and pool w/diving board wasn't an issue at all for most of the agents. Not sure why, I always heard it was. We do keep it covered when not in use, needs a code to open.
