Amazing! Looks like the camera caught him just as he jumped to avoid a snake!

I think the actual problem there, if you look very carefully, was that a slender sapling had broken off, and jabbed him from underneath, right in a very private spot...

no digital manipulation, it was done in 1995, just masterfull experimental photography by Bernard

JDW:
Does this make ONA an interplanetary magazine? Or shall we now find ONA filed under Zoology at the library?

That is a lot of air! I had forgotten about that photo shoot. Think you could jump that high now???
Actually I think the trick what that you were jumping down a hill.

Actually, I believe Greg was about to engage in the vaunted "Full Balter" in that action shot.
(The Full Balter is a heretofore never witnessed orienteering maneuver in which a runner actually does laps in the forest while running a race--the higher profile, the better. Sources tell us that Greg himself performed the first ever "Full Balter" at the classic race at the US Team Trials this past weekend. A crew from Orienteering Today and the Scientific Journal of Orienteering is being depolyed to North America to corroborate these claims.)
eds note: When I say "laps" I mean laps. We're talking about running around in circles on a trail. Anything less is not "Full" and hardly a "Balter."

I know no fewer than 57 people who, while unwilling to admit it publicly, will sometimes confess under torture that Greg is their greatest hero. No doubt this edition is being snapped up like hotcakes as a true collectible, and values will be soaring on Ebay in the future.

In 1995, Greg definitely caught "86" unawares
Yeah! He's unleashing his kung fu on that control. Is that Attack Badger technique, Greg?

Clearly, in the action shot involving "86," Greg is re-materializing from another dimension. I always knew that the genesis of his superhuman abilities had something to do with navigating through Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Talk about being caught red handed. Is this kind of thing allowed under IOF rules?
