billvon 2,400 #52 September 25, 2009 They're pretty close, but there are still a few problems; there were 10-15 people not docked looking at the video. The usual minor issues (people backsliding a bit, loading grips, looking away from the base) are popping up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,400 #60 September 26, 2009 Fourth jump did not go as well. Someone low early, base problems, several sectors didn't even start to build. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZigZagMarquis 8 #61 September 26, 2009 Is tomorrow (Saturday, 9/26/09) the last day of attempts whether they get it or not? Or will they GO ON ... on Sunday? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 1,623 #63 September 26, 2009 QuoteHere are my pics so far. Trying to get a shot up asap after each jump. If anyone is in any doubt what a big-way exit frame looks like (and dirt dives suggest that many are), they should look at photo #75....

Andrewbrinkhaus 0 #64 September 26, 2009 Going to check it out tomorrow! Driving out from LA, it'll be my first (definitely not my last) time at Perris. Hope to see any of you there!

mirage62 0 #65 September 26, 2009 Bill you still feeling good about the 10th jump? If they didn't get a 5th in today - haven't heard - I'm feeling pretty good. The 4th jump people were tired....Saturday a wake up jump and then the next two should be it, unless I'm missing something. I have heard it is HOT out there.Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 1,623 #66 September 26, 2009 QuoteFourth jump did not go as well. Someone low early, base problems, several sectors didn't even start to build. Have they brought in many people from the bench? It's even hotter now than last week, and by the 4th jump of the day during POPS we were definitely not at our best....
