NO, but I know him! I jumped with him for about a year. I can't believe you just pulled that PIC out of a hat! What in the world made you go to that particular drop zone? That's ASC, just outside Atlanta in Cedartown, GA. He is also a pilot there, or at least he used to be. He flew the Cessna 182 during the week. As far as what movies did I produce, in Skydiving, the answer is NONE, but I have a lot of footage in a lot of skydive videos, movies, or whatever you want to call a full production Boogie Movie. I have footage in probably 7 or 8 World Freefall Convention Movies and I do, however have footage in a movie (film) made by Tom Sanders called "Over the Edge II", and I am mighty proud of that. I shoot and produce Skydive Tandem Videos , Skydive AFF Videos, a little skysurfing (very little), used to shoot CRW (Canopy Relative Work), and Formation Jumps. I did have my work on American Journal a million years ago, and I have a lot of footage shown on TLC and Discovery Channel that I shot with a friend (Joe Jennings) in Eloy Arizona pushing a car out of the back of a Sky Van over the desert. I shot Joe while he shot skydivers hanging on inside the car.....it was Joe's special, but I was second camera, and got credit as second camera, a lot of fun. We almost got hit by flying debri, the car hood to be exact!! The video is shown all the time, you would think that they would stop showing it after a while, it's over 7 years old! Do you skydive? Do you know anybody from ASC? I have over 5,000 video skydives.
As far as video clips, I am to lazy to go and find something short enough to be of any interest, but I will gladly scan a shot of a guy jumping out of the back of a 727 Jet that I shot. It made the back cover of U.S.P.A. Magazine. It has my name on it if that's good enough for ya. I just have a strange feeling that some of you guys are on a witch hunt now, since you think Bill lied to you about his life. Like I said, I will post it, but I want that to be the end of it if you are razzing me, lol. Ricco

I don't know why it's so darned big! This copy was given to me to send to my Mom, I have my copy somewhere, you know how THAT goes. Anyway, there it is, enjoy. Notice they spelled my name wrong, it's two C's, not one.

I can't imagine how a video clip will look if a simple picture came out this large. I know I probably saved it too large. Somebody tell me if I can shrink this down here on the site. Ricco

I resized it. It seems you can only upload pictures, not resize them here.
