Every time I see that, I hope that he sticks it instead of crashing.

YEAH!!! I had that picture in my cubicle for years. Ldood should remember. He worked with me then. There is another photo of a differnt angle that I cut out of Maxim who had a blurb about it too. That photo is aesthetically different and if we can find it youll see what i mean. Its a side angle and there are people standing on the hill just below him. The composition is just incredible. I know that sounds pretty art nerdy but Im an art nerd sometimes.I always wanted to find the photographer of that one and buy that print and pay Dave Watson to sign it.
