it's spelled wrong, bring it up with the apache crew), and I ended up at

Here's a snip from "Stair Master"
After numerous attempts with lots of trial and error, a distinguished panel of experts unequivocally determined that there is no possible way for me to fall down a flight of stairs gracefully.My first attempt was weak. I wasn't loosened up and I hadn't found a rhythm yet, so I didn't beat myself up too bad when the judges declared my first effort, "the work of a blind, clumsy fool". I deserved that, the way I fell down those stairs was nothing short of amateurish. I was so embarrassed I didn"t even properly acknowledge the judges table after I landed on my side. Sure, it.s a points deduction, but there was no way I was getting anything above a 3 anyway, so no big loss.
For my second attempt of the day, I thought I'd try and make up some ground, so I began the tumble starting off on the wrong foot. I'm naturally goofy foot, so traditionally I begin my fall down the stairs by misjudging the second step with my right foot. The judges know this, so I thought they would appreciate the effort I was putting forth when I instead used my left foot, precariously planting just the last quarter inch of my heel on the tip of that first step and then letting my body weight combined with the awesome force of gravity do the rest. In the end, it came out looking decidedly un-athletic and contrived, which it was. Still, the judges were being generous when they handed me an average score of 6.7.
My last attempt I had to lay it all on the line if I wanted to have any shot at a medal... Read the rest
