Yeah, I had one once where I bailed in front the bar and the caption said I was clearing the bar.

But, then again my hometown paper was ran by a kid in my class. His parents owned a dozen small town papers and they set him up with a house in my hometown his senior year and moved him there to run the paper all by himself to learn the business.

Yeah, my senior year in HS,the local paper had a huge color picture of me getting ready to bail out of a jump at our state meet on the front page.

Our media guide at Purdue had a picture of Randy Miller clearing a bar, but they turned it sideways to look like he was falling behind it rather than going over it. Would have been fine,but you could see the standards sticking out of the right side of the photo.
