steve1 5 #1 April 13, 2002 I was wondering if Ray Cottingham is still filming. I still see his photos in Parachutist and I read an article that he is base jumping some. He filmed a couple round formations that we built in Idaho back in 73. He was a sky god even back then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #2 April 13, 2002 Ray is definitely still around! He films Steve Fielding's group on a regular basis. Jumps mainly at Elsinore now.He's still a skygod in the good sense of the word - great flier and wonderfully nice person. pull & flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YahooLV 0 #3 April 15, 2002 Yep, he's still around and one of the nicest guys I know. In addition to the Elsinore stuff he shoots, he's also working on 4 way stuff. :c) (competition at Elsinore SSL) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #4 April 16, 2002 Great story teller, too! I can just sit there and listen to all the 'no shit there I was' stories and 'this is how it's done' teaching mini-seminars he shares when asked. Wonderful sense of humor, too! Yep, he's at either Elsinore or Perris most every weekend!ltdiver____________________________________________LightDiverCam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #5 May 30, 2002 Here's a picture of out team down at Star, Idaho. (Taken by Ray Cottingham). B. J. Worth is on the upper left. I'm the one who looks like a Peeping Tom behind B. J.'s sister. We were able to build the 1st and 2nd all collegiant 8-way ever built. B. J. came up with a patch and numbering system for this but it never really caught on. I anyone would like my autograph I'm running a special on them this week. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shark 0 #6 May 30, 2002 He frequents Elsinore at times. In fact, this weekend he filmed our big ways. I should get some stills from the formation that actually completed; a 24 way I think. Pretty cool for a formation load. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdctlc 0 #7 May 31, 2002 Ray is still in the air. Last month he shot the vid of a 8-way team I am jumping with this summer. We were down at Elsinore and I believe he jumps mostly there. He jumped with us for two days and the video he did was outstanding as were the stills. I only wish he could have made the 8-way look a little better on some of the jumps! I guess the man can only do so much.Scott C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
