Yes, that is my ISP page, subject to me staying with roadrunner and them continuing to support authored pages. I have a less colorful, but hopefully longer lasting duplicate page on google.sites

Did Steve die in a plane crash? I thought it was skydiving

He died as the result of a canopy collision after a competition CRW exit.

Thanks. That's what I thought. Wasn't it at Nationals and they changed the rules after that?

It was at the USPA Nationals (1996, I think) and I heard they did changed the rules after that, with the exception of 8-way speed.

I think this is an exit shot of Steve's team, Bad Wrap.

yes, that was Steve's team in a jump that had someone pass through lines and a big mess. I have an annotated version of the photo somewhere.
