wildWilly 0 #1 July 31, 2006 There was a new record set this weekend at Skydive Burnaby in Ontario. 14 way Head Down. I was not on the record jump, but worked on the support team ( this was my first attempt at large formation record jumps and didn't expect to be on the record as there was a good group of experienced jumpers from Ont. Quebec, and New Brunswich). With organizing and video done by Steve Curtis ( he also did 2 camps with us this summer in preparation for this event) the weekend was a complete sucsess and everyone had a great time with no incidents. We all learned a lot and had a lot of fun. The old record was broken on Sat. morning with a 13 way. then again on the last jump Sunday, a 14 way. (Pics. to follow) I would like to thank Steve Curtis, DZO's Mike and Tara Pitt, the packers and all the paricipants (it was really hot and humid and they worked very hard) and the judges for all their effort and time in putting this event together. I look forward to next years event. Congrats everyone, Willygrowing old is inevitable, growing up is optional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blazingcannon 0 #5 August 4, 2006 For our last jump of the record attempts, we decided to huck the entire formation as one piece off the side of the jungle and into the cave of swallows. picture included. It was a short jump, but definitely worth it. Great job, everyone! Glen (haha) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
