The Diving Board

Haven’t written a whole lot in the last week, been kinda busy. In RL working and in SL learning. DesertWolf and I have been taking classes, learning everything from making animations to self serve ice cream cones.
Yesterday while I was busy making more junk for my skybox, DesertWolf was out learning how to make a diving board, he has a pool, I don’t,  so it made sense that he should get or make a diving board for it. When he was done setting up his diving board he gives me a shout and says.. get your swim suit on and come join me.

Well, I was very impressed with what he made, it looked great.. right down to the spring and the diving board sound it made when walked on.

I walked up the ramp to the diving board, put one foot on the platform and was sent skyward.. fell back down, hit the board, did 2 quik bounces and was sent skyward again.. hit my head on the edge of the skybox over me (200m up?) plummeted back down, arms and legs flailing, did a face plant into the diving board, bounced again and did a very unlady like belly flop into the pool.

DesertWolf calmly asks… too much force?

The man has a certain knack of understating things.

(In RL I nearly choked on the coke I was drinking and almost sprayed it all over my keyboard. I was laughing so hard at what I had seen on my screen the tears were running down my face and my stomach was starting to hurt.)

After some more trial runs, a few adjustments and rebuilding he got it right. We started playing with animations and quikly he was doing loop de loops off the board and into the pool.

And.. DesertWolf, if your getting tired of me hanging around, please tell me so.. theres really no need to try and kill me. *grin*

    I can confirm the side-splitting laughter caused by said diving board - and a big thank you to Desert for providing me with my very own copy!!

    I will have to post a blog entry trying to describe just how crazy things can get with those homemade objects - and I just might have video to go along with it - woo!

    I just wanted to say I know exactly how you felt with the stomach hurting from laughter - especially when we inadvertently launched my neighbour into the next sim - from a diving board! Good times. *g*

    Yes, but this way is so much more entertaining…..
    But really, the diving board was from a class I took, script and all. So I was kind of surprised when it proved to be as powerful as it was. Don’t forget I had already been sent flying myself before you came over…
