He missed #1 and I missed my picture spot.

It just so happenned thatI was able to get a bunch of Jump pics. Dan Shuman took several of these when he was safety swimmer while I was driving the pickup boat.

Speaking of Dan, here's a shot.

Todd, Bitchin' flame decals on the hat.

This is Dan's Trophy shot: Brian Reed (or reedski as he is known to passing motorists and lurkers on the skifly.com message board)halfway up the ramp. It took several shots to get this one.

Good Leah:
Nice balanced position on the counter cut.

Bad Leah:

How the hell did she not go OTF?

Keep your chest up!!!

I got a few more Pics on my Flickr page But that's all I've got for now.
