I would have killed to make it this year, but the stars and planets just didn't align.It's a shame the boogie got moved to Palatka. I started jumping at Williston and still have a soft spot for the dropzone and some of the characters that jumped there. In my time at Williston, I never once witnessed anything that bordered on the line of unsafe - in actuality, Williston was in my opinion an excellent place to jump, with a nice small-DZ vibe that I yearn for at my current large DZ.Hopefully I can get back to school next year, get back in the air with the falling gators, and might even end up graduating. So if anybody's got 'em, show a gator far away some love and send some pictures/stories/video from the boogie.

There were great people with whom to skydive and hang out. Sunday and Monday's weather was great. I was however very disappointed to see the turnout be so low. And from the original post on this forum, there was not all the "stuff" promised. I am also very disappointed to see this forum, which started out to be an advertisement for the boogie, become a clothesline for hurt feelings. I really had hoped and expected college educated people to take the high road.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites crutch 0 #144 January 20, 2006 Hey Emily, other than the helicopter (it had unforseen maintanace issues) what was not delivered that was promised. Sorry, but if someone has an issue, I really would like to see it addressed. We purposefully scheduled no Tandems (although we took walk-ups on space availiable only). We did lots of free/reduced price tandems for the vendors. The AFF and Static line students were from the Falling Gators and the UNF skydiving clubs. Tammie was giving free instruction and loaning out suits for the Birdman flocks. Larry and Jeff (Guy) were organizing the belly flyers. The Lees did a wonderful job of keeping everyone fed. Manifest and the pilots kept the loads turning. I am sorry, just trying to figure out what wasn't "delivered". Other than the low turnout, I think Jared oganized a wonderful boogie and hopefully it will grow into what Mark Wheeler originally had in mind when he started this many years ago.

The other 'stuff' I am not sure what you are exactly referring to. Jared worked hard to arrange the demo stuff...things happen. This was never meant to become a 'clostheline' or anything else and I do regret that it got negative in any way.
