It was what is euphamistically called a "life affirming moment" I believe Bob. Looked closer at the photos and the actual site today and judging by how far he travelled in between the two frames I got and the fact my camera shootss 7 fps in ontinuous sports mode my fag packet calculations give me an estimated velocity of 140 feet per second at the point he left the track, that's 95 MPH to you and me but as my measurements are only guestimated it could be up to 15MPH either side of that. He flew for about a hundred feet before touching down for the first time then did another thirty to fourty feet. Thinking back I seem to recall hearing "OH F__K!" rather loudly but I think it might have been me saying it.
