gemini 0 #1 February 16, 2006 Skydive the Mag describes the participants as "The Ukrainian ladies 4-way and the Norwegian freefly teams unite over Eloy." By my count that is 7 jumpers, but there are eight in the photo. Jumpsuit looks familiar. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrickyDicky 0 #4 February 16, 2006 Im guessing (and only a guess) that it might be the laidies coach? They were at Bodyflight a few weeks ago training with someone I assumed was their coach. UK Skydiver for all your UK skydiving needs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #8 February 16, 2006 I think so, I noticed that when I got it through the post. Just wondering, if you noticed your cutaway was flapping about like that would you cut it away as a safety precaution (looking at the picture looks like fair amount of cable has pulled through because of the resistance against the wind) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpy 256 #9 February 16, 2006 Hard to tell, but it looks like a couple of the flat jumpers have noticed it too!!! Good job it wasn't the reserve handle.... Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did the jumper attempt to deploy the main, or did she just clear the cable & go to the reserve? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigway 4 #14 February 17, 2006 Saw it when it came through the post, really can not believe that the pic made the front cover of a mag from the BPA when we have all these safety rules and regulations. Nice dive though. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gemini 0 #18 February 17, 2006 Ok, that's two. You both get a free jump at Spaceland. Anyone else??? Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gemini 0 #20 February 17, 2006 Ahh, but I already knew that and gave you the jump anyway. Since World POPS will be at Eloy this year (I think), I'll just put it on your account there. Anyone else?? Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skykittykat 0 #21 February 17, 2006 QuoteSaw it when it came through the post, really can not believe that the pic made the front cover of a mag from the BPA when we have all these safety rules and regulations. Hey, it's the real world out there! At best, even though I don't think the pic was put on the front page for this reason, it has drawn attention to gear safety - look before you leap... On the topic of the Mag, it was another stellar publication and a lot of locals here in the States are jealous of the UK having such a great mag, what with the pics, information, articles, etc. I must admit, that I was a little peeved over a couple of letters to the Mag over the reporting, eg, cronyism (Lesley is a top jumper who is invited onto many high profile events which are reported in all skydiving publications) and the JFTC coverage. JFTC was a huge event in that it raised a hell of a lot of money for cancer and has promoted skydiving for women within the sport and promoted skydiving as a whole worldwide. Rant over Betsy - you are a cover girl!!!! Liz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
