notsane 0 #2 October 22, 2008 We're trying to avoid spring break, try for the most-likely best weather and have lift capability. I'll have some dates posted soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notsane 0 #4 October 24, 2008 Official dates for Flock and Dock 5.0 are April 17 - 19, 2009. This should avoid Spring Break entirely and give us the best shot at good weather. Registration will start January 1st on www.baserigs.com. Yes, Lurch, I'm sure we can get that early morning high-altitude load going for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aerodynamite 0 #6 October 24, 2008 Seems that there is another wingsuitboogie nearby in the same time: "April - 18-19 Sebastian Island Wingsuit Invitational Boogie Slot perfect Multi point Docked formations Saturday sunset beach "island" landing followed by boat ride to dinner. Invites will be based on skill level and participation of previous events" Is there any possibility to move another boogie so that both would be available? I think it would be a good thing for both of the boogies.- No mercy in the flock! Straighten your legs!!! - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it would be a good thing for both of the boogies. Skydive Sebastian's website shows this event happening the following weekend (4/25-26/09). I know that Jeff's email had the earlier date... not sure which one is right, but I will let you know once I get a clarification from Jeff, unless someone else posts definitive info here sooner.

lurch 0 #10 October 24, 2008 Sweet! I got a finalized set of daily-driver flyable zipon S-6 wingmods I just finished dialing in, similar to what I showed up sporting last season minus the toe-cable wingtip suspension design- not quite the sub-30's fallrates the radical stuff delivered but far safer and more flyable and a little less brutal on the arms. I been itching to see if I can get 5 minutes out of it from 20-plus... it delivered 3:09 from 13.0-3.0, if my arms hold up 4:30 should be easily doable, 4:45 depending on endurance, 5 if I'm feeling badass. Just plain 4 minutes is Soooo last season. -BLive and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing that Lurch got all flustered with the "5" in "FlocknDock 5".... kinda like target fixation, I think... Lurch - put down the sewing needle, and take a deep breath!!!

lurch 0 #15 October 25, 2008 Cause every year this is about my only chance to have a whack at high altitude. So far I've just flown stock stuff and got relatively mediocre performance in the 4 minute range, 60mph average. Not exactly outstanding. Winter fatigue. This'll be the first time I had a suit hack I was willing to take out at 23k and I'd like to set a new personal best. A relatively trivial little ego trip, but its mine. Come on. Don't tell me you never wanted to get the latest super-xs mark 62 mach suit the size of an elephant cover and jump it from the highest alti you could get. This'll be the one time a year I actually get all the squirrels in my head scrambling more or less in the same direction. Its one of those zen ballistic rodent things. -BLive and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
