),then comes fitness drills

I handled myself well then Various Stretches for 20 min, break to position drills, so they put me in Offensive linebacker/ running back Prity stoked bout this!

then the drills come and i figure prity quick im gonna have to practice this shit! damm learning all the calls, even Holding the ball man so diferent to ruggers and that kinda thing, and these guys are F%$ken Ballet dancers!...........Dont get me wrong i got it in me!!

In highschool I played indoor hockey. Same kinda setup as icehockey but with rubber sticks and rubber puck and on a basketball court. I was the best goalie in the school, at the interschool sports out of 5 games only let 1 through and thats coz it was too high to deflect (no shin guards). Apart from that soccer was my game in later h/s during breaks.

Yea i had a shot at indoor hockey, but had trouble stopping!

Apocalypsse · 10th October 2009, 10:49 PM

Not hard to stop when you are only running. My problem early on was 95% of the time when I was passing it out from goal area I would get the puck stomach height, lotsa ppl copped it guud in the stomach. Then I managed to keep it to the ground and could almost score from my goals.

wow sounds interesting mark, so how dos it all work with the rebreathing thing?

When I was in my late teens, early 20's, I played a lot of soft ball, two to four times a week, in a league during evenings, golf two to four times a week, after work, before I played ball, and on weekends between games during a tournament. I also played ice hockey, three nights a week. Also did a lot of hunting as well.

MARK!!! +1 for diving!

I used to work in a dive shop, lots of Cali-coast and channel island dives (250+) down to max 242 fsw but that was just normal air. Really wanna get into trimix's since it doesnt make sense to dive that deep on normal air anymore.

Did a dozen wrecks out here or so but I wanna do ATLANTIC WRECKS!! Nice picture btw!!

If you haven't read it, find the book "Shadow Divers". It's about the discovery and dives on the U-869. Richie Kohler actually emailed me back, he's got a great site up about the wreck.

The Men of U869

What have you dove?
