As best vaultguru, zack, and I can tell, Piotr stepped his takeoff foot OFF the raised runway... all I know is these are the pictures I got :P

That is NOT a position you want to be in at takeoff! :eek:

Neither is this one!


And this was the nice raspberry he got :yes:

that was too funny.....i've never seen someone that takes off so far to the right on the runway. He's usually close to about six inches right of the box on his take off step. The best part about that day was that he went on to jump 18' even though "i really shouldn't have kept jumping, but i needed the money".

I know some of you high schoolers were discussing your takeoff foot ending up too far to the left or right when you jump... here is a good reason to fix that! :eek:

Hahaha - WOW

Those pics are great - but yeah, that should definitely be motivation enough to fix your takeoff.
