Kevin was my Dad. When I was around eight, we were driving somewhere, probably Elsinore. I asked him about tracking and how its done. He took about 20 minutes slowly explaining the idea of rolling forward slowly until the support slowly falls away in the front and you start to feel the beach ball under your waist. Then explained the balance of the ball and how moving slightly changes your pitch either direction. Twelve years later I got to try it and it came very easy. Thanks for the stories, keep them coming. Dave

I grew up on Elsinore and had Gary as a family friend as long as I have been alive. He was generous with his time and money, and could eat more sushi than anyone I ever met. He showed me what is still my favorite sushi restaurant anywhere. You will be missed for a long time Gary. Dave Donnelly

Wes, From old Portola days and you showing me your Dad's arrowhead collection, to the secret meadow you showed me with all those little brook trout which I will never find again, to Eagle Lake and the Albatross, to all the good times in Eloy, we always found ourselves in great places having great times. I will miss the good times we had ahead. Rock on my friend. Dave

I've jumped there twice and had a lot of fun. You are right over downtown Cabo and the cruise ships in the harbor. Lots of fun and great friendly staff. Definitely check it out. The website is www.skydiveelsol.com Have fun. Dave

we todd did Michelle

We are getting the old gang back together to remark how old we all look, consume a few cocktails and maybe even throw down some skydives. If you were around back then and want to see some familiar faces, check out and register at www.EloyReunion.com. This will not happen again so don't miss it! Dave Donnelly

I have the Honda 928, 9 hp and 28 inch bucket. Works great and lasts forever.

Hey Jen, While that sounds like a great idea now, you have seen me in that position and it probably wasn't very pretty. I hope you can make it!

Nice Rich, Chris and Ray willl be there, we planned this around their trip. I will bring the aspirin. Tell anyone you think would enjoy it. See ya there. Dave

Greetings, On Easter weekend 2008, we are getting sold old faces together to remember some good times we had in Eloy during the late '90s. The freefly revolution was in full swing, the FS teams were engaged in some of the best competitions and all limits were being pushed in the sky. We pushed some on the ground too. If you were a part of it please plan to show up for good times and some fun dives. We are getting an event website up next week. Look for it at www.EloyReunion.com. See you there. Dave Donnelly

Hey Andrew, I live in Truckee and am going to be jumping in Minden a lot. Drop me an email if you want to check out the DZ or if you have any questions about moving to Truckee. [email protected] Dave Donnelly

I know for a fact it will be windy because I am going to show up...

1 pod and 1 line did not build. Some waves moving through the piece and some asymetry in some quadrants. One whole quadrant, however was complete for 10-12 seconds. Doing 2 attempts tomorrow, will keep you all posted. On a different note, from an airshow point of view, everything was great. Right on time, good spot, and a flawless salute to the King. Dave

Finished up day 3 with 2 more dives. The second of which was very close to a completion, and only from 14000 ' due to a crew O2 malfunction. Only 2 were out and the piece flew solid and smooth. Its amazing but there are almost no waves moving through the formation. Tomorrow is the first day of the airshow, and the King of UAE will be "expecting" a record. Lots of pressure to make it happen. The group is pumped and confident. We only have one attempt tomorrow. Someone will post something tomorrow after jumping.

Thanks Vert. As far as entry requirements, we're not sure yet what we will be looking for in '07. we are reducing the max number of people to around 40. This will be the first time we will have put a cap on PH. I would guess that we will invite former particiants, then for the remaining slots we will be looking for the most qualified flyers as far as sequential experience. Hope this helps. D

Vertifly, I believe you may have misunderstood. PH will not happpen this year. I would hope you would not think my personally missing an event would justify a post on this forum. I really don't think anyone would care if I stayed home.

Greetings Freeflyers, In light of an unexpected world record attempt in the middle east and more and more regional medium- big way VRW events, we have decided to take 1 year off of Project Horizon. Look for the initational VRW event to be back in the summer of 2007 at Skydive Chicago. Dates will be announced next fall. Blue Skies. Dave Donnelly

No free beer Thom but between 4:00 and 7:00 we have arranged half price beer and appetizers for you

Hell Yeah Stuey, I'll bring it. I'm thinking this year might be something like snorkeling across the swoop pond while the comittee shoots paintballs at the lonely swimmer. Good plan ? You were born for that one. Dave D

I will be back and forth between the DZ and PHX most of the week. I will be driving down there friday afternoon about 2:30 is anyone needs a ride drop me an email. [email protected] Dave Donnelly
