Gozia jumping in the favela!

Hi Norman! Yes, I do know your VT handle. I remember seeing your picture during the last party :) And yes, I happen to have a jumping picture of myself. I've attached it as an addition to your collection. That was in Mitra's house in Puerto Princesa.

Have a great day! I like the 'jumping' trend you started :)

Thanks Norman! I have another 'jumping' photo you are welcome to use, it's of a buzzard* that frequents the field and wood where I walk my dog. It's not one of my best shots as I wasn't expecting it to take off like that, I was expecting to take a shot of it perched on the branch hence the wings are slightly blurred.

* Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) - what we call buzzards you call hawks, and what you call buzzards we call vultures (not that we have any vultures in the UK).

Best wishes

By all means Norman, upload my carnival lady (Trinidad and Tobago 2005), she's a doll! I will see if I have other such photos.

Hi Norman, did you get to visit with Ellen and Joe "VTer EllenH"? JumpingNorman says: "Yes I did!"

I saw this on TV today, during the Breeders Cup Races from Santa Anita, CA. A Jumping Jockey, Lanfranco Dettori. Attached photo taken by me from the TV on ABCTV. This is the jockey's trademark move when he is in the winner's circle. Must be catchy. lol

JumpingNorman says: Yes, it was great meeting with Ellen and Joe - the JumpingTwins and wife had fun with them as well (but we did not go to the Heart Attack Grill, hehehe)...and wow, that jockey Dettori can really jump!!! Thanks for sharing with us...


Dear Norman,

thanks for dedicating a page (for me), i think u didn”t put the first picture of the sequence, which is the most spectacular because it's on the top of the wave, tell me if you received it. Btw that picture has been taken in Bali.

You can take wakeboarding pictures bye

JumpingNorman says: Federico, you truly have spectacular athletic jumping shots and we’re happy to have you in the jumping galleries!

And a little geography lesson: Soorts-Hossegor is a commune in the Landes department in Aquitaine in south-western France. It is well known as a seaside resort and surfing center, considered as one of the best surfing locales in the world
