As promised, a photo of a man flying threw the air with an over sized lawn mower strapped to his backside . ( I don't make this stuff up ya know ! )
Fred - great capture, excellent colors - good job! Don't think I want to try this tho.....

@Jerry: Thanks ! I'd have to agree, Even though I've sky dived on a few occasions I have to admit the thought of strapping on a motor and reverse sky diving gives me the willies !
Great shot! Now I get the whole effect (btw, thanks for the explanation the other day).

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks Duncan, I have to admit I was rather content watching from the ground myself !
I've been skydiving before but what exactly is reverse skydiving? I think I know what it sounds like...but I hope I'm wrong...eeep =S
The shot is awesome by the way =D

@Wayne: Your question made me laugh, I guess my description was a little vague. Well when one jumps out of plane the parachute slows you down for a safe decent, but being on the ground with an open parachute using a motor strapped to your backside to get up into the air to me is reverse skydiving .
Ah =) I am enlightened...I thought reverse sky diving meant...some strange method of exiting from the plane and somehow opening the parachute with your back to the earth....which I thought would've been quite impossible and suicidal...my imagination gets the better of me sometimes =S but then stranger things have been done in the name of being 'extreme' before =)

@Wayne: That's some funny stuff ! Dude, admit it..You were smoking weed when you wrote that .
( I'm kidding, but that's still a hilarious state of mind ! )
My brain meet Fred...Fred meet my brain =D
