LouDiamond 1 #126 February 17, 2008 Just left the Boogie and am in Spain now. I have to say that if you missed this boogie, you missed a good one and need to make the next one,next year. The good news is that the bottle of rum that I(and everyone else) got in the boogie bag made it to Spain intact. When I get a chance, I'll post some of the photos from the friday night DZ party where the beer and rum was all provided for free as was the Red Bull mobil DJ Assault vehicle that mixed tunes and played videos, giving new meaning to 2 turntables and a microphone. The flock action was good, we did a few technical dives and a good deal of fun dives. The winds were a bit brisk but everyone jumped all day for the most part. A few cutaways happened, good examples of how even "docile" canopies can spin violently and why pulling a bit higher is a smart thing to do. Luckily the one canopy collision, which was caught on tape, miraculously ended without anyone getting hurt. Kudos to Vivianna and Jason for putting this event on and making it what it is. I had a great time and look forward to next years event.

Jeff.Donohue 0 #129 February 18, 2008 I agree with Scott C - it was a really fantastic event. Viv and Jason were incredible hosts, and they went out of their way to make it a fun and safe event. I'll be at next year's event for sure. Now I just need to convince the ball and chain to let me get to Flock & Dock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 1 #130 February 18, 2008 Nice to meet you down there Jeff (was it you that mentioned the Notwist and Thrice?). Many other new friends made from Colorado and the Northeast. Nice to see all the new faces. I'll have some pictures up in a few days and the video a bit later.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdog 0 #131 February 19, 2008 Quote Many other new friends made from Colorado Hey I resemble that remark. Thanks for the good times. I learned a lot. I also have some pretty good video of a few formations (stacks) funneling out, so once you post all the sexy photos of you guys (us) doing the cool stuff, I can always post the blooper's real. That is the advantage of being one of the last guys out of the plane diving to the formation, you get a nice wide shot of the formation in chaos.My favorite blooper is the dive with two bases flying in two directions, with me leaving the plane moments later, wondering which one to chase.But, all joking aside, there were a lot of good dives too. Thanks for letting me jump with you guys! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am really looking forward to seeing all the pics and video. Scotty even gave up a sunset beach load to get everyone's landings....I am sure the final products are going to be SWEET. S.

ScottGray 0 #138 February 20, 2008 Thanks a lot Scotty - You and Matt can never get enough credit for the video work you guys do. We all know it is a pain in the ass to drag the mountains of gear from home DZ through airports to new DZ and back. Not to mention the 10s to as much as 100+ hours of pic and video editing. We all owe you guys a great deal of thanks, your vids only help us improve our skills and safety. THANK YOU !!! Hats off also to both Scott Bland (the most stable base on the planet) and Justin Shorb who organized some great dives !!! This event continues to get better each year and Jason & Viv really take care of the jumpers --- GREAT jumps & GREAT parties. Lots of great people. Really enjoyed meeting new wingsuiters and reconnecting with others. Jeff N. also used his ice carving skills to sculpt a tiki head with a rum chute down the back to keep us well lubed during the beach party Saturday night. Jeff was tied up all boogie with student training, adding more folks to the ever growing flock. ---- Thanks Jeff.

Madison 0 #149 February 22, 2008 Hey guys, I'll try my best to make this coherent as the time change and cold are really messing with me. I put a post out in the events forum but wanted to say a special thanks to the wingsuit community. I'm very shy and you all treated me and my son as family. Thank you. I met genuine, deep down, good people that made me a much richer person inside. Thank you, thank you, thank you. No, not you purple Mike. Just Kidding! I'll put a link out of the shots I got and get some people one's they've asked about as soon as I can, which might take just a bit. I took a ton. You're good people. Isn't life beautiful?! Take Care all of you and I hope to run into you somewhere soon, otherwise see ya next year! Love, AprilExperience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
