friends here in st. louis are "buddies" w/ jim, a bunch of us were invited to hold the poles for his ribbon cut. a friend took his video camera out and got the close up flyby, knife edge to opposite knife edge....i wasn't there but they all said it's scary to see him coming at you about 180 and just feet away , , then the tug on the pole as the ribbon goes taught and gets cut. a year or 2 before this year we have video of him doing one too many downline snaps and his tail looks to touch the mississippi river in between 2 bridges, the crowd went crazy but we knew he had gotten too low after rewinding the camera........he's ballsy to say the least !!!!!
