 And then he landed...



When this happened, I stopped taking photographs as he hit the ground. He doubled right over on his neck & I thought I had just witnessed someone die or at the very least be paralysed but he survived. I don't think he was very happy for a while


I wish the classic hits sign with the web address wasn't in the background

Timely done, though, for sure!
