Read Lisa's comments here.

"It took a couple of days to get the photo the magazine was looking for. I must have thrown a dyno about 15 times the first day. The second day we went back I was feeling a little over-confident. I chucked the dyno and missed the hold. Fell on my butt! I stood up, looked around, hoping nobody was watching. Then pretended nothing had happened. I pulled it off other than for the big bruise on my bum. Wills got a great photo -- not of the bruise, but of me falling! -- but I convinced him to throw it away. Sorry. -- Lisa Rands
