This is a really stupid photo of my eyes peering out from the cockpit of this aircraft; I can assure you its not Tom Cruise...... :)

Its one of the rare pics that are amongst my ancient archives. I'm searching for a better one but not having much luck.

Photography had only just been invented when I was injured..... :mfrlol:

Are we ever going to see a photo of you perfectly still Trinity or did you always travel at the speed of light?
Haha, I'm afraid most of them are light speed! The still ones of me are post injury and can be found in the 'Faces' thread!
I'm afraid I am a photo whore like Ches, my apologies!

1) About to set out on my last bike ride that sorta had an impact on my life. I'm the one with the bigger bike.
2) Can't recall the exact circumstances but reading the picture tells me I've just beaten a classic sports car in a 10 mile road race.

Scribbler you are a cutie. I love all the pics you have posted. I could look at pics all day long, except the ones I'm in. I don't believe I'm very photogenic.

I think everyone who has posted a pic is very good looking pre and post injury. Really not much changes except for the people who were standing before and now sitting. I wonder how many people are crusing this forum to hook up with a hotty. There are plenty here. :w00t:

I'm glad I posted this thread its been interesting to see you all and discovering the things you did.

A lightening juggler. A hottie from Texas. A trick cyclist. A Biker. Some stunning beauties, who still look fantastic, one even flying a kite. A guy who can race a car, and win... :) Plus some ancient "Top Gun", through the years before colour film was invented, looking cute, a rebel and a big brother with funny knees ... :)

Thanks to everyone for sharing them. I hope its proved that there's still life after your !Apparelyzed".

You've all survived and are here helping others. Give yourselves a round of applause... :clap:

One of me as a Rebel and the final one of me AB. Its my Sqaudron pic and was taken a few weeks before my injury. I'm on the Front Row; can you spot me? I was tall and looked shy.... I still am.. Shy that is...

You still look cute Jackie and I bet you still have as many boys round you... :)

Are you sure he's wrestling that guy? It looks mighty suspicious to me.... :mfromg:

I bet you can beat him now kdenon? But as you so pretty, he'd put up much of a fight... :)

Nice pic of your first beer Illiois boy..... bet you've had a few since then? Cheers!... :cheers:

Keep them coming. A baby pic of Ches & Trinity would give everyone a laugh...... come on girls...

I'm always amazed when I check new pics. I think JT80's must be a record. Then I was blown away with Russ and his before and after shots; there cant be many like that.

All I can say to you City Girl... Fantastic legs! Now we've seen the before lets see the after? I bet they're just as good... :mfrlol:
