Fraserx Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Watty's correct - it's foreshortening. Either that, or it's an EXPERTLY-caught shot 1nanosecond before an enormous home-made Rev, sliding in from the right at over 100mph, cut an unsuspecting majorette clean in half. You should SEE the next few frames, the gore was spectacular. I hear Quentin Tarantino is using it in "Kill Bill 3 - The Revolution".

The girl is only about 5'3" tall. The vented REV I is an original from Revolution and has a wingspan of 9'(108"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it's in front of her from the camera's viewpoint - 9' or not, if it was behind her it would need to be bigger than that for this view.

If you look close enough - she is holding onto the edge of the kite with her right hand, and i am guessing that her left hand is actually beneath the tip of LE. However it does appear that she is wearing a short evening dress in the photo (possibly only due to shadows etc) and I cant figure out why you would be wearing such a thing while playing with a rev in a field. But yes - it does look like she is being a play thing for the Rev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG it is dis-robing her !!! ok so she isnt actualyl holding onto the kite like it looked. I am going to guess that it is removing articles from her, there appears to be a clump of fabric on the ground, and I assume the large scarf draed over her shoulder is the next garment to go... Now I just want to know how the kite is going to undo the zipper... that would be a cool trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo is from a Freestyle Competition at Osnabruch-Melle Germany in 1996 shortly after I became European Quadline Champion. The music was "You can leave your hat on" from Joe Cocker. It was initially planned to be a mini-strip down to a bikini. Instead it was kept at the scarf only level. Attached are some more photos given to me by someone, whom forget who it was.

The later pictures are all of a meticulously-constructed android that you created to cover up the heinous gore-fest to which your original picture refers. Don't worry about it - we've all done it.

"Down to a bikini"?? So the "B" in "B-series" refers to "Bikini"??!! Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
