It's less than two weeks away...:)Any idea what the headcount will be?

I'll be there early...probably tuesday.
No one else is flying up here so I'm really looking forward to flying with other birds again.
Not to mention $15 jumps...I may not want to leave!

Yo Flockers!

In trying to keep this event as simple as possible, with no pre registration and registration fees at all,
there will now be a free raffle for awesome discounts I was very suprised to recieve from Aubrey at Aerodyne International.

Thanks for your support Aubrey! :)

Be safe.

Hello,
Hey Ed, just three days with these earthlings,
then we can get back to the sky where we belong!
I found that I have a small stack of smoke cannisters,
so no need to get more as far as I'm concerned.
Nice of Chuck to invite us over this week.
See you Thursday, I'll be there with bells wings on.

No dout brother!

Wish I would have gotten on more then just 4 of the 10way wingsuit jumps yesterday instead of haulin' meat for 9 loads prior....[:/]

But ya gotta do who gotta do... ;)

I added 2 new bird birdies to the flock today, Richardo and Ren. :)
Then we did a couple nice 8 ways as Ren led the flock and smoked a couple V1's and S3's in a Classic! :D

See you Thursday.

Who all showed up? I expected this event to be much bigger. Did the threat of bad weather mess with the attendance?



Yes, unfortunatly the weather was a big deterrent for some, but we did have 26 wingsuit flyers total for the weekend.
Thursday 3 late jumps, Friday 4 jumps, Saturday 5 jumps and Sunday was rained out.

I'll post some pics tomorrow when I get some video grabs. ;)

Who are flying V1s??(Other than Jim)



Other V1 flyers were Dingo, Brenden and Pablo (speedformula). Avery has a V1 but chose to fly his S3, and Pablo put back on his S3's after one flocking dive.

The S3 is itself too much of a suit for light and tall flyers while flocking in bigways.

26 is pretty decent for a weekend that rained.
Hopefully, there will be 3 plane loads and 50+ sized formations by the end of this year.

The weather put a bit of a damper on alot of
planned jumps for the weekend, and did detour a
few wingsuit flyers plans to attend. [:/]

We did managed to get 3 late afternoon jumps on
thursday when the weather cleared enough, 4 jumps
on friday working on exits and agressive
positioning for faster formation building, and 5
jumps on saturday with a large fomation group building to 19 wingsuit flyers.

We had 2 flocks jumping on saturday, with a nice
flock of 5-6 flyers in one group and as big as 19 flyers on the larger formations.
We also had alot of big smiles when everyone landed. :)
The large formation building and learning
progression was awesome to see in some of the
flyers, and the more experinced flyers didnt
hesitate to give the lesser experinced flyers a
shot at the front on the formation because this gave them a chance to get in some fun backloop exits and some awesome swoops down to the formation. ;)

Here is a picture of the large formation flyers that was taken just before a jump, as the smaller formation flyers were in the air.

The rest are video grabs from my camera and one still taken by Mark from Aerial Extreme.

Despite the weather it was an awesome weekend thanks guys!

Be safe.
