Meux 0 #4 June 6, 2007 Hey Art, Being a new guy at Palatka I'm not sure I know this Gary. There is that one really old guy who plays ring toss all day and scowls at all the people and growls at all the dogs, but he must be about 80. Is that the right guy? In any case, I've got that weekend off and am looking forward to some tailgate jumps. Would love to do a magic carpet. See Yall there. MH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

napaguy99 0 #14 June 25, 2007 Is anyone planning on coming out to party on Friday night? I wouldn't mind hanging out over a few brews and a campfire. I sure hope the Emerald Coast crew is going to make it. Jen and I are heading out of here for Hawaii in a few more weeks. "Let the misinterpretation and attacks begin."

JGarcia 0 #15 June 25, 2007 I'm planing on being out and doing some jumps (likely Hop-N-Pops) on Friday... not sure yet if I'll be staying Friday nite though. I know Eric Florio, Tom Hayden, and Kathleen are gonna come out Friday as well, so there should be a great group of people out on Friday.

What's up! Just wanted to add a bit to what Art has already posted - Sabre2 120 - Katana 120 - Katana 135 ...and last, but not least, the NEW PD Optimum 143 Reserve! In case you don't know, these new reserves have a much smaller pack volume than traditional reserves, and fly/land more like a main canopy. I was able to upsize my reserve from a Tempo 120, to an Optimum 143 which easily fit into my tiny rig which was built for a standard 113 Reserve! I'm definitely looking forward to demoing the Optimum! In addition to the Demos, there will be PD Merchandise give-aways, and one lucky person will win a 50% OFF Certificate for a Wings Harness and Container System! . Gary's one cool cat! He's someone who's always eager to laugh at you when you've messed up, and sometimes even when he's proud of you. Let's make this boogie and celebration of his 60th birthday, one that will not soon be outdone! Cheers! --JairoLow Profile, snag free helmet mount for your Sony X3000 action cam!
