Thanks Roger Nelson Thanks Norman Kent Thanks Mike Michigan Thanks Deana Kent Thanks Scratch Garrison Thanks Tony Uragallo No bashing really, it was merely a joke. Basically I posted that picture that I found on someone else's website to show that the "grey hairs" had really done quite a lot and we're just now starting to show gain on stuff they pioneered. All in all its really amazing.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hippydiver 0 #8 April 25, 2005 i believe this picture was taken at least 10 years before Olav even jumped from a plane. i'd like to give big props and thanks to ALL the "old guys", new guys, "old ladies", and new ladies who have given anything to this sport and any of it's disciplines throughout the years. edited to add: oh yeah, and that's a great pic. robert, we should make an attempt this summer.---------- gravity rat formula 109 Team Gonzo and Team Jamaican Me Crazy no bullshit, let's just fly, be safe, and have fun.

EricaH 0 #9 April 25, 2005 excellent pic!! i saw Roger wearing his brothers old jumpsuit & remember being amazed they could fly w/ all that bagginess all over, esp in the arms! To think I was less than 10months old when that pic was taken! edited to add: those guys had pure skill!! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.
