Dallas is correct in reference to the One-Oh-Worst guys that did the Indian look prior to the jump.

No, Dallas, I'm not a T-T junkie. Actually, I haven't been there in a while. I can go one better, though. I've done the maps for two of Mark's books, and I've gotten to spend time in his basement/museum!!!
Thanks guys, your help and that of others and a couple a days away from working and after tons of research I found out a lot on the "filthy thirteen". I ordered the book from Amazon and can't wait for it to come. Funny thing also is that I got the green light from the boss here at home to allow me and my two boys (5 and 2) to all get mohawks this summer. When that happens, I'VE GOT TO kit myself out as one of the one-oh-worst jumpers and take some pictures. Who knows if I'll ever get one again!
