This Eloy boogie was 100% better than last year.

The Airspeeed organised loads rocked and were a lot of fun.

Personally, 3 jumps stand out.

1st: Being invited by Nina Kuebler to do a 4 way with one newbie and getting on the ground afterwards to be told that that was the best 4-way she had done ever. Seeing her huge smile and enthusiasm was awesome.

2nd: Organizing a a 21 way for the first time (before that the biggest I organized was an 8 way) and it completed.

3rd: My 1000th jump (today) and a huge thanks to everyone on it - it was a blast!

Also, meeting friends - old and and making new ones and jumping with them.

Clay, don't let her make you feel bad. I'm heading to Seb in about four days:ph34r: I do what ever I can to stay away from her.

This was a most memorable Boogie for many reasons...let me list a few.

First Boogie
First Jump after getting my "A"
First jump with a suit made for me with booties.
First time to get video of me in the air...thanks to RobertRei~~
First 3-way (and it worked!!!) Thanks to Spanky and Chris.
First exit from a DC3...got to do that twice~
First 6- way... didn't work all that well but how great is it to be included???
First Pink Mafia Jump and joined the sisterhood (Thanks Amazon!!)
First Tube Exit....now that really rocks~
First Balloon Jump which was worth the $$ and amazing~~~
First to demo new container and canopy

now for only having 36 jumps...I am still smiling and wondering how I can get to the SKYSISTERS UNITED FEMALE SKYDIVING CONVENTION.

Life is good isn't it???

My new quote for this year is:::
NEVER LET THE FEAR OF STRIKING OUT
KEEP YOU FROM PLAYING THE GAME~~

As a three year (dare I say) veteran of this boogie, Eloy was a good time. I renewed friendships with many and started some new ones as well. Plus I made some very fun memorialable jumps.

I made 36 skydives in total:

- 16 freefly jumps (including a couple of tube dives)
- 9 wingsuit jumps.
- 3 hybrid dives.
- 2 tracking dives.
- 3 jumps using a demo Phoenix-Fly tracking suit.
- 2 helicopter jumps practicing sub-terminal gainers.
- 1 high altitude hop n' pop where I bumped end cells with 4 different canopies.

and in those 36 skydives, often I was able to rip a bad-ass swoop. But I wasn't as consistent as I would have liked to have been, I came out high a few times. >:(

Plus ...

During the boogie I made 3 BASE jumps:

- My 1st solo cliff jump in Moab on my way to Eloy.
- My lowest freefall to date, a 270 foot antenna in AZ.
- Another cliff jump with a friend in Moab on my way home.

Good times this year, and yes the weather was much better this time around. Oh and I didn't go to bed earlier than 2 am every night I was there. Dang the free beer isn't really free. It does come with a price that you often need to pay the next day. :ph34r:

I remember sitting in the yard with my dogs, looking up at the canopies opening and flying back to the landing areas....and going...

"WHOA!!"
"HOLY SHIT!!"
"LOOK OUT!!!!!"
"GEEEZZZ - LOOK WTF YOU'RE GOING!!"
Then having to go inside to keep from having a heart attack...

Good job to all the jumpers keeping it to just one injury.
