What folks have been saying about the video:

Tim,

Please let me know if you release any future PPC (Powered Parachute) videos or PPC related videos. Yours are the best I have seen.

Robert Long

Hello Tim,

I just wanted to let you know that I had a chance to watch the Powrachute Extravaganza movie that I had purchased from you a few weeks back. I had bought it as a birthday gift for a friend and he invited me to watch it with him last night.

He absolutely loves it and I can see why. Beautiful footage and shots!!! That 120 PPC airborne at once was astounding. What a great job everyone did to safely pull that off. Great job on the film!

I'll be in touch with you to check out some of your other videos in the future.

Thanks,

Kevin Patton

Hi Tim,

I received your video (Extravaganza) and I think it is one of the best for PPCs that I have ever seen. I also liked the World Championship from Greenville as it was very informative about what is involved to compete and how to do it.

Sincerely,

Mike Love

Hi Tim,

Just a note to say what a great job you did on this video (Extravaganza). We have seen many made by others but yours without a doubt is the most professional.

Hey Tim,

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know I received your two videos and I loved them. I've watched them twice already. Once at my PPC club meeting and again with my wife. Hats off to two well produced PPC videos. You're are a talented director. I was in stitches when your brother Mark spoke a little Australian in the WPPC video. Too funny.

Take care.
