WestCoast Wingsuit Weekend May 12-14th 2006

Recommended Posts

Like Kris said, great weekend! ;)
20 flockers, up to 19way flocks from the Otter. Some worked, some didn't, but great fun!
Fun 7way flock into my ranch Friday at sunset, and alota fuckin wine consumed between sunset and sunrise......:DB|
Today we did some smaller 8 way triple stack vertical flocks that were a blast.:)
Perhaps some that post on here, Glen(VectorBoy), Tony(tr027) will offer post their input when they get home. :)I'll post some pics when I get them from Dingo. ;)



Be safe

I could only make it on Friday. Flew base on the first three flocks and attempted to keep up on the next two. What a great learning experience. Looking around and having fellow birds flying on both sides. It was awesome. Thanks to Ed and Mike for all the pointers. Had a blast and look forward to joining in again when I have my own suit.
50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Ok, where to begin... I was told by my local PFI that this event was one of the ones to not miss out on, and it did not dissapoint. I got 18 jumps between friday and monday, and the flying experience has raised my flocking skill up a notch for sure. Going into the event I wasn't sure what to expect since I jump at relatively smaller dzs with very few other suits, so flocking is rare, however there were some very experienced pilots there that I gleaned helpful info and tips from so that was cool. I met a bunch of great people like Avery B, Purple Mike, Damien, and Melissa ( http://sportsgal.com/)- who did quite well btw.
The jump into the ranch was great, the wine even better. Many thanks to all the participants (I'm not sure if I can list them list all here from the top of my head), hope to see you all back at AOB. Lots of fun, lots of jumps, and for me lots of improvement. :)We also got some video from jumps on monday, so that may make for a pleasant surprise as post-boogie bonus material, hopefully it makes the credits or something, stay tuned.

Noice!!!

Ed has got himself some nice flocking companions, the socal contingent had a blast : nice people, good talent, creative organizing, several good vidiots present.

Not all of the flocks worked as planned but the issue was "early base recognition" not so much lack of flying skills. Some of the formations were new and challenging to the participants. Most that were chosen to fly a solid base did a better job than I ever could.
Only one "unintentional funneling of the base" due to burble occured but the base wasn't affected much and that loser was back in the formation lickety split. All despite some unique formations on just about every jump.

Some good base from:
Kriss
Randy
Avery
Tony
Mellisa
Nice flying from:
Recardo
Jeff "el heffe"
Monkey
sean
Mike
Steve " fresh,fresh baby"
And of coarse Eddy P
Some nice pictures and vid from Dingo, Damien and Avery. Damien mostly while back flying the majority of the jump. Bad ass french men!

The Demo was a hoot! Tastey wine!!!!

Definately a first class event.

Lezz do it again K?
