Ah the QOR, gotta love them! You haven't even come close to the good stuff though, check out these videos of them jumping! Few years old but definately worth watching.

PS - Let's not bring up painful memories of Speakers Corner OK? :fork: He was just saying what we were all thinking, although not the smartest move it was bound to happen after all the BS Jumpers have endured over the last decade in this country...

Ex Coelis,
AIRBORNE!
