May I suggest you ask McGowan?

Someone who was there and took the picture sold it to them for the cover?

They found it in a pile of trash while walking to the DZ?

I'm with you there. They can move them and all kinds of stuff these days. Even keep the pictures on sticks.

It's the year of the Pig.

Ha, ha, ha. What a bunch of yucksters. To be more specific, was the alleged camera mounted on the helmet of a fellow tracker, or was the trio tracking past a sit flyer? Or was it all trickery & deceit done on an Apple G4 like the advertisement for the wrist mounted combination canopy condition analyzer, cut-away canopy finder, and push button cut-away system. Anymore smart ass responses and I’ll have no choice but to post as many mindless questions to this forum as I can during my next day off, consuming massive amounts of bandwidth. If I stand in my living room, with my rig on and deploy the main, will I go crashing through the ceiling? When I watch skydiving videos I’m amazed at how high people get pulled back up in the air when they pull the parachute out. If you pull your parachute right after you step out of the plane will it pull you back up so you can climb back in case you get scared? Someone told me that if you don’t pull you need to concentrate real hard on grabbing the grass when you first hit the ground, because it’s the bounce back up and down again that actually hurts

Ask and you shall receive, but you need to say please next time. Didn't your mother teach you any manners?

Ask Jason Peters also. Those girls need to arch so they will be stable.

Someone should teach them to roll their shoulders forward when they track.

"How did HE get that shot"

.... how do you think?????? he got it??? He was in the right spot, at the right time,,,, he Anticipated the
"Photo Op" as the skydive was about to begin separation..... He probably made sure that he was clear, as he settled "on level" or just below level,, and when they turned to track.... bang bang bang... He fired the shutter !!!!....let them go by ,did what was necessary to stay "close, but clear".... then moved to the center and cleared,,, waved and pulled........ i guess.... how else????..That would have been my game plan for a
such a shot..... although i would also....have decided which side of the formation to be on,,, at separation,,,,would have determined that at the DIRT DIVE,,, and so therefore,,,, would have advised the "subjects" to realize that i would
be " nearly right in their faces",,, at separation...... Haven't met a jumper yet who resisited the chance to be the subject of such a picture.... but that sort of shot.... "just doesn't happen".......at least , not in my case...
Now in the case of Mr. M. McGowan..... it's a complete other thing... and sure.... he very easily could have been JUST THERE..... plain and simple.....
