Here's a video shared on YouTube, maybe some of you will recognize yourselves?

Weird, it's got my double gainer but whoever edited it together attached someone else's landing. (Same color canopy.)

Same old, same old.......where's the carnage footage??????

I'd like to see video of the pilot chute separating.

I wish I had a camera with me, that was a trip. I remember it was a yellow bridle, he was almost at line stretch and I heard a pop and his PC started floating, luckily it didn't pop due to high pin tension.

how about the guy that hit the repelling lines under canopy

ooops, not again!?!?

I did that once (not at BD)......it's not so fun, usually requires a new set of undies if you live through it.

Would love to see footage of this one from BD.

How do you deploy your canopy if that happens?

i had an extra button added to the remote for my car, so in addition to lock, unlock, and panic, there "deploy canopy." just have to make sure your keys are in reach during freefall.

Was anyone else surprised at the cost of the photos this year? Specifically the ones on the CD?

PC Popping Off

nice clip.

thanks Tom.
RIP Leroy.

I think that the Ash jump was the most beautiful thing ... more beautiful then I can express...Thank you Tom, I appreciate you taking one of your jumps to do it and I know he would have done it for you.

Nice one Tom. Good to meet you in person, nice flippy do thingy you did...

What price do you think is fair? What did you pay last year? Let me know and I'll see what I can do to assist.

Alan,

Yeah nice meeting you as well as all
the other online virtual people who
turned out to be real BASE jumpers.

Plus once again a big "Welcome" to
all of the first time jumpers, now go
find a local and learn s l o w l y .

Peace,
~Tom

Are the photos posted yet? All i get when I click on it is an error page.
Thanks!

They are uploading 20,000+ pics... Everyone that jumped at BD will get an email once they are up.

haha listen to their commentary!! "that other one almost hit he ground first"... "flying squirrel wingsuit...cute, you kinda glide like a little..." gotta love the WV accents!

Sorry, Jason, you aren't allowed to post here until you get all of the photos online. Now get back to work.

don't know how you dealt with a new venue, assuming the photo concession, the lousy weather, etc. and still managed a smooth day of jumping.

871 jumps?
wow.

if it takes a few days to get all the photos up, so be it.

Thanks! With the rain, cold, new venue, four photographers who didn't get a chance to fully test the system, and first-year learning curve, we pretty much had our asses handed to us. It was the worst case scenario for photos.

Photos should be up very soon.

Despite all that, You, Jennifer, and ALL the staff....

THANK YOU

That looks like DarkSideDan's last STI panel.

Photos will be up this afternoon at:
http://www.bridgeday.info/photogallery.php

Oh, wait until you hear the story about my crew hot wiring our 24' rental truck just to get home! It was MacGyver all the way as I had to touch two wires together to get it to start. Thanks to Bruce Kramer, Jim Trimby, and Shawn Kendall for helping me unload Sunday night.

Photos are online. 15,000 of them. Wheewwww.

Gonna go take a nap now. I wore too many hats this year.

Not enough hats. I'll bring you some more hats next year.

thanks for the hard work jason!!

If I ask really nice, will you take down the ones that show me exiting like a drunken money?

Oh, but wait, if you take those down, you won't be able to see my brother take a 5 second delay in 2 seconds. Mad skills that takes.

Nice job on the pictures, Jason. Some cool angles.

I am super surprised. Not only did Jason eliminate the nasty personnel that we had to deal with at Holiday Inn, but he also started charging quite reasonable for the pics.

The WhiteWater dudes in all years past wouldn't budge and as a result always left with a shitton of 8x10's to destroy. I haven't bought pics for the past 3 years - too damn expensive.

The prices listed on the website are almost half the prices listed on the sheet at BD in the lodge. If they were lowered to what they are now then I think they are very reasonable and if they were this way the entire time then they were explained to me wrong at BD then I apologize.

To be honest, we didn't have enough data from past years to determine "proper" pricing for photos and digital images. It sounds like Whitewater made special deals with jumpers and there were often no set prices for digital images. Some things worked out well....others didn't with the photo concession (first year learning curve). The lighting left something to be desired, but many images came out well. It really isn't about making tons of $, as I'd rather keep you all happy and be fair. If you have any suggestions on pricing, please let me know (good or bad). Thanks

Pricing for digital images is tough to figure out. Anyone can buy a digital image and go to Walmart for enlargements (thus a larger sale might be lost). Based on feedback at BD, I decided to lower the cost of a digital image - I hope these prices work better. All other print sizes are the same as at BD, except for being $0.01 cheaper (it's simpler to take $20 onsite versus $19.99 online).

I just finished looking at all the photos from my jumps. There were well over a dozen shots on my second jump alone. Nice work.

The time stamps on the badge worked out well. It made it real easy to find the photos.

Thanks Jason, i didnt mean to sound critical earlier, i was just surprised. I think the prices listed on the website are reasonable and of course thanks to you and the staff for all the hard work.
