This year should be as glorious as usual. I'll have a fleet of fun toys to demo including 3 ghosts.
Just wondering who is planning on showing up.
Free instruction and demo's . Big way fun......... and always plenty of deviant birds to flock with.

Jay,

Were you there last year? How many wingsuiters showed up?

Brian



I believe that there were about 14-18 wingsuiters but the flocks averaged under 10 most of the time as Jay was wrapped up in first flights and Demo loaning and wasn't able to do as much organizing as he/we would have liked. There were other things to do that you can't get just anywhere else like scenic "off" landings to get involved with also. In the early mornings and late afternoon you may loose some people to backcountry parachuting excursions.

Our group kept inspired with unique fun jumps like, for example, wingsuit bi-planes and Butt-planes that you probably won't see outside of Texas. :D

That is true and all though the Moab boogie was a great time the Texas flock will be hanging at home this year.

Ya'll have fun

Despite the winds and tragic incident, it was a good boogie and I'm glad I went. Lots of fun flocking. And judging by the many Prodigy flights I saw, a healthy number of new birds have joined the flock.

Here's a few pics Ori took of our last-jump-of-the-boogie (Sunday's sunset jump) tracking/birdeo/flock hybrid. The dive plan was for Kipp to ride my back, Jason and Ori to track with us, and Don and Mark to fly their suits in a dive to stay along until they tired of us and decided to fly off.

The birdeo launched and flew fairly well, but I wasn't able to maintain a forward speed slow enough to allow the trackers to keep up so the whole group got kind of strung out. It's (the dive plan) a work in progress so we'll get it right eventually.

We all pulled at 5k to afford us a little more canopy time to enjoy the breathtaking sunset. It was the perfect way to end the weekend.
