Love the pic and the idea.

It's also the cover of this years Paragear catalog, except the pic is just from below the formation.

I agree it is a sweet photo...

the most entertaining part was when Travis Donley(sp) (one of the jumpers in the picture) saw the cover of the picture on Paragear.

of course He's a very entertaining as it is... I guess he had never been on the cover of a publication before.

He's a pretty cool guy too... of course so are John and Doug... and I guess Brian is too...

It is indeed a neat photo, but I would have liked to see two different jumps on parachutist and para-gear.

I wonder if either publication is mad about it. I know when I send in photos to Parachutist it is made clear that they don't want to publish anything that has been sent to another publication or has been posted online etc.

I got both publications at the same time, with the nearly identical photo on the front cover. Coincidence?

Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Nope. Not a problem. As long as the pictures are not identical you're fine.

Those sparkler rigs on their legs are no joke! They're awesome and amazingly well engineered. Really neat stuff.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Dude, Sparklers are what I gave my Daughter to play with on the 4th of July when she was 5. Those things are "burn a hole in you faster than shit" flares!

But yeah they are impressive looking.

I know, it's super-duper pyro which you practically need super-duper-special-secret-password to own, order, transport, etc.

Oh...it's not THAT bad!

Heck, we've been doing that for over 25 years now!

BOTH in freefall and under canopy...on the same jump!

Yeah, the fun with pyro and smoke is it might work, it might not, or it might blow yer friggin foot off.
