In that shot of the dark green Team dude we see a tattoo on his right arm.  That had been intentionally covered in all the time in Pasadena and LAX.  It may provide a means to ID him. :tup:

Our prosthetic woman may be Katy Sullivan, one of the fastest double amputees in the world.

I don't think the racer is Amy Purdy because she is a below the knee amputee. It could be Katy Sullivan except that Katy has a distinctive red hair color in every picture I can find of her.

Jeff Schroeder just became active on Twitter yesterday and today. It could a substitute. The tweets are all replies to people and a quote.

Jordan has not tweeted since May 22.

It's definitely definitely not them. The guy with the green bandana is the same guy.

What green bandana?

Sorry if we ruled out the possibility. What I have read, people just have ignored the possibility of it without reasoning.

Here they are at LAX:

I think this might be Amy Purdy and Daniel Gale of Adaptive Action Sports.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/slideshow/double-amputee-snowboarder-amy-purdy-15938610
http://www.adacs.org/about-us/our-founders

Wow, I was all set to go with North's KAty find...but her race partner is clearly not either her husband or her prosthetic supplier.

On the other side, Amy and partner look to be VERY good matches.

Could someone show us what evidence we have for the level of OUR racer's amputation??

Great job boston_jen! Her partner in photo 10 of the slideshow looks exactly like the guy at LAX!

my only thought on her being an above the knee amputee is the photo below:



but I guess that could just be where they are secured. everything else is adding up that it is amy purdy.

Amy Purdy (Left), boyfriend Daniel Gale (right)





Her last tweet was 10 days ago. Looks very similar!

Also on March 14th she had a new set of legs made (source)

Here are 3 Teams that had to go Eva.

Goat Gays
Orange MF team
Small & Tall

I think Team Hair had to get Eva as well despite the fact that they were among the first to get to China Air.

In this shot the father/daughter (?) team has just arrived at Eva.  They were the last to reach the check in counters.

Great work!  :ty3: That last picture (Michigan and father/daughter) was about the time security caught up with me.

Odd business, this. Michigan was confident--and so was I--that they would be early for China Airlines. But after a 20 minute gap, I see them at EVA air. ???
