This is a picture by Jeremy Daniel of Damian (Joshua Morrisey) & Janis (Alexys Morera) sitting on a cafeteria table. This is one of five nearly identical units with 4 pneumatic brakes hooked up to a duel switch system. Also pictured in the background is our School Portal 1, 2, and Drop, in most cities these were hard legs and featured a particular drop stretching method that was my responsibility. Let’s just say I became a lot more familiar with the different approaches venues have to pipe extensions in addition to getting more comfortable with Genie lift operation for stretching hard legs.
