zclubber1 0 #1 July 26, 2001 I wanted to wish a little luck to some people for this Saturday. First of all, good luck and blue skies to all the dotcommer's doing the record attempts and what not at Perris. I'd be in on it, but I'm still on student status. Secondly, good luck and blue skies to Kimmer, who should be doing her AFF level 6. I'm sure she'll rock! And also, good luck and blue skies to Michelle on her level 8 (graduation!!! yeah!!!). I'm sure she'll rock too! So, any of you that haven't already wished these guys all the luck and blue skies you could muster, throw a little their way this Saturday. P.S. I know it's self-gratuitous and cheesy, but if you have any left in your reserve after all of that, perhaps you could throw a little my way for Saturday, too. The gods of human flight permitting, I'm gonna try to finish level 6, 7, and 8 that day! All that jumping, beer and friends? It's gonna be a blast! -can't you trip like I do-Clubber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gman 0 #6 July 26, 2001 Hey zclubber1, Even though I can't jump with the group I'll be there this Saturday as well. I just got off AFF status and I somehow convinced myself that it's time to start jumping alone for awhile. When you do your jumps and graduate I'll try to find you and maybe we can head to the "Bombshelter". -G.M.L.- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking 0 #7 July 26, 2001 I am in the same boat as gman i do my lvl 3 this sunday but i am still showing up to meet everybody and take pictures and have a good time. and maybe have a beer at the end of the day.

mouth 0 #8 July 26, 2001 Good luck to all left coasters this weekend. I'll be thinking about you ALL. Hugs and Kisses all around from me. Sat is going to be a glorious day on both coasts. If you are on the east coast come on out and we'll celebrate here too. I'll owe beer by Sat sunset. Clay, you coming?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #9 July 26, 2001 Kimmer - best of luck (although you don't need it, you're over the hump...)..you rock, chica, and you are the best!Zclubber - you will have a ball, and again, best of luck.....I want to see your face after level 6.....Gman, Viking, I can't jump with them, either, so we will be their audience...Well, all you ".com'ers" coming out: even if you don't jump with the attempt, make sure you come over and say hi; there will be a little post jump party going on, I'd love to give you all hugs (I am a hugger, so be prepared)... and maybe there will be enough beer to go around...(does anyone have an extra ice chest? I have to keep at least 4 cases of beer cold...)As for me, well, Ed's making me jump an unfamiliar, smaller canopy, so be sure you're there for my landing - it should be either a) outstanding or b) fastfalling. Either way, should be good for a laugh. Bring your cameras! And all you east coasters, and everyone in the other parts of the world - I swear I will lift at least one beer in your honor!Let's....get.....iiiiiiittttttttttt....onnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ciel bleu-Michele Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zclubber1 0 #10 July 26, 2001 Gman and Viking (and anyone else for that matter),Students, licensed, dotcommer's, non-dotcommer's, drinkers, non-drinkers. Doesn't matter. We're all gonna have a blast. I'm a little limited with who I can jump with right now, but I'll drink beer and hang with any and all of you. I'll be the one in the black GoFast t-shirt, sunglasses, goatee, and more than likely a cigarette in my mouth. And if it's after my last jump, a cold beer in my hand and a big smile on my face. -can't you trip like I do-Clubber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #12 July 26, 2001 My Hero!I got beer, and ice can be purchased down at Perris (there's a market there somewhere, I'm sure). I have a cooler, too, but not enough for all the sodas and beer I think we're going to have.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aviatrr 0 #18 July 27, 2001 Quote It's 200 by Sat Sunset even if I have to sit out a load or two. Beer will be going as soon as I land...meet me outside the hanger with one!! Just remember - you have to meet her with a beer in one hand(bonus points for multiple beers in one hand), and a pie in the other.. Make sure many others have pies as well..Quote Watcher will also be doing 100 on the same load...wahoo. Uh oh.. I guess that means a pie in EACH hand.. Just be sure to put the beer in a safe place so it's not abused..Oh, and Lisa...if you don't get pied for you 200th, just remember...it's expected of us to pie you at the first available chance.. See ya at Deland.. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there's a band scheduled.In case you don't follow this stuff, they just came back from winning the World Championship in Women's Skysurf in Spain.Anyhow, should be an interesting mix of current and future world champs.Oh yeah, and the new improved Super Skyvan should be in full operation. I heard a report today that from take off to 12,500 is about -12- minutes!Paulfuturecam.com/skydive.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
