sdctlc 0 #2 July 9, 2013 Not a HUGE formation but absolutely a great start. As I told everyone that was participating, it might get broken but nobody can take away the fact that this group set the FIRST Canadian record for the CSPA. The Judges that were on site and showed a high interest in learning about WS'ing and requested some time to ask questions. They were genuinely interested in learning more and I was happy to oblige and think it was fantastic for them to be interested in getting more knowledge on this discipline. The entire weekend was filled with lots of learning on Flocking and included lots of Fun by all. If you have not been Eden North near Edmonton Alberta, it is a very nice facility with a great staff and DZO... A big thanks out to them and the ASPA for support over the weekend. Lots of pictures can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/scott.callantine/media_set?set=a.10151699178444921.1073741826.690989920&type=1 Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

ifell 0 #3 July 10, 2013 Was this event advertised anywhere? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbagdrew 0 #4 July 10, 2013 It took place during the Alberta Skydiving Provincials. Provincials was advertised locally, but I'm not sure how much it was promoted outside of Alberta. We have a great base of Wingsuiters in Alberta, and it is continuing to grow. I'm sure there will be more events.

ifell 0 #5 July 10, 2013 In QC, I was just wondering how Canadians were not aware of Canadian record attempts. I saw no posts on FB, DZ.com or CanPara magazine... Anyway congrats to all involved Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #6 July 10, 2013 Very tightly flown, nice to see more records established smaller than the minimum percentage. Congrats to all involved! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aOwl 0 #7 July 10, 2013 Andrew, Blair, Scott, and the rest of the people who participated: very well done! That is a sweet, crisp diamond. I am sure this is the starting point of other, larger pan-Canadian efforts, logistical challenges notwithstanding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,026 #9 July 10, 2013 Nice. ARe the CSPA rules the same as USPA? Also nice to see Scott C. in action again. ... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbagdrew 0 #10 July 11, 2013 I think that the rules are similar. They were just recently adopted, and I assume that they used the recommendations from the FAI. Scott? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwiscantfly 0 #11 July 11, 2013 Hi John, this year the CSPA has adopted the "test rules" the FAI has put in place. Its pretty similar to what everyone has been using for the last couple of years. There are some differences in the grids to be used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
