Hey all,
I've had the good fortune of sharing some emails and BPI photos with Fernando, who has posted some new great action photos on the www.frappr.com/ubpntbpi site.

He has pushed himself to keep physically active and adventurous w/the help of a sling he designed and had made. I mentioned to him I thought it would be a great inspiration to post some of those images, of himself pushing the envelope and of his sling, for any of us that miss & want to return to the active life.

Go to the site and click on his name (in blue or www.frappr.com/?a=myfrappr&id=125232 ) and it'll take you to his frappr site where he's posted more photos as well.

Have a great New Years Eve!
Chris
