Let's see.

10 jumps
3 as base- need lots more practice as that
2 nice 2 ways when flock didn't quite build (see above)
1 broken snap on leg zipper, fixed by local rigger
2 jumps on borrowed Raptor while snap was being fixed by local rigger
# unknown of future pictures posted and torment due to color of said Raptor
Met lots of new folks and had a great time

Thanks go to Justin, Jeff and Ed for the efforts to stage the camp.
We had incredible support by Skydive Elsinore to make the weekend a success. The pilots did exactly as was asked and even stuck around for some of the dives.

And yes, coffee and donuts purchased as promised
50 donations so far. Give it a try.

You know you want to spank it
Jump an Infinity

monkycndo = BOOGIE WHORE!!!!!!! :)



Sheeesh, so a guy goes to a few boogies and gets an unjustified label. Sounds like a whole lot of envy to me. Phil, I think you just wanted one of the donuts.:P

Well it paid off you were more current than I was.

That's because your SO has you on a very short leash. Mine joins me at said boogies and jumps.:P


I still think the nickname is not justified. I was broken for 4 months at the beginning of this year. So I only went to:

F&D 3.0 (didn't jump due to said brokeness)
WS skills camp in Eloy
Spring WWW in Lodi
American Boogie
Lost Prairie
All of the Above Boogie
Byron Boogie
F&D 3.5
Halloween Boogie at SDA
Fall WWW in Lodi
DZ.Com Holiday Boogie

Does that sound like a boogie whore to you?

Thats an assumption only a boogie whore can make. Last year I went to as many camps as you went to boogies. These camps were serious business, professional and dedicated with lots of hard work and focus.

Oh and I'm not affraid of the leash, we even have a couple in our basement dungeon.

It was a fun weekend seeing some of the new wingsuit pilots getting a chance to fly with some larger flocks. :)

Though sometimes a lonely slot, flying base for a flocking formation is alot harder then most think.

Having a picture rendered at low quality with artifacts everywhere, and chroma gradient banding across the open sky, sort of negates the whole need for a watermark. Nobody can do anything too useful or damaging with a picture rendered like that. :P Keep your renders small (600px) but high quality, they'll look nice but still can't be used for anything significant because of the low pixel count, and you won't need a watermark.

Also, since your watermark avoids the actual jumpers and is layered "behind" them... it would be INCREDIBLY easy to remove it, if somebody had a reason to. :P
