In memory of free style sky jumpers

It was one of those days,
From the moment I got up and the shower water ran cold,
Till and I turned up for this event and was allocated number 13

So here I am, suspended by the race number attached to my sky suit by safety pins, I am not optomistic as I listen to the material gently give way.

I'm comtemplating my options and the chances of fathering a child.
Bearing everything in mind, I'd just to say;
BOLX

Great set Paul

That first one is funny. Did someone forget to tell the skier in the second shot that it isn't a diving pool, lol. Great action captures.
