Cool, I was wondering when that issue would hit the shelves. BTW, this is the last issue of Stuff - it's being integrated into Maxim.

I never knew so many jumpers used a LEFT BOC!! and I thought there could be ONLY four jumpers in the air? wait, wait a minute, I get it....lame.

I still am in reluctant belief that there is some hope that some jouralist in the US is able to print the truth and facts ACURATE to a point where it takes more that a mere 1 second to pinpoint 3+ errors. its not that hard, and I only made it to the 200 level classes! whatever, fuck publicity.

Actually, there can be more than 4 jumpers in the air. There simply has to be one empty boat available, but we do give notice to water rescue for 5+ ways.

Yes, the media gets it wrong a lot. Yes, the photo looks a bit odd to those of us who've jumped at Bridge Day. But, 99.9% of the people who view the image will take away something positive from it and not realize the left BOC.

Publicity is also a method to legitimacy for BASE jumping....

Serously, I don't get it... They took normal people and done some photos on the ground of them and photoshoped them in the photo but the dude that made the people wear the rigs put all the pc's on the left...? Is that it?

Re: [UPS] Bridge Day in Stuff magazine
Dont feel bad, the left handed thing was the first thing I thought when I looked at the picture too.
