The Great White North Boogie 2011

THPBoogie, RW

Skydive New England and a host of other New England represented drop zones showed up in Z-Hills Skydive City for the annual “get away from the cold” Boogie. Despite cold, wind and rain, the group managed a to squeeze out enough jumps and a whole lot of partying to call it GOOD. Dr. Pete was on hand to organize the RW crowd and many of the new jumpers from last season showed up in full force, many from the newly organized Jump IN! group I put together there this past summer for the up and coming jumpers. All had a good time and were the winners in every nights contest to see who could stay up the latest, make the …

Cali State Records Day 5

THPEvent, Press, RW, Skydiving, Travel

Been a long week watching the clouds ready for the 10 minute call. As skydivers do they keep themselves busy with all kinds of stuff including poker and stupid human tricks. One jumper even broke his ankle on a fun jump. Still we all kept to the plan and on the last day we made three rides to altitude, 19,000+ MSL. At least the cold front had moved through and it was very cold at atlitude. Two of those rides to altitude ended with all the planes landing due to could cover. On the last attempt we got the blue sky we were looking for and made the jump. All was well, the base was perfect, on heading and the …

Cali State Records Day 2

Again waking to mayonnaise layered skies, the mood is still upbeat and the mission is focused. Regardless of the weather everyone makes ready for the inevitable get-it-on short call. Circle up at 8am ready to skydive begins the day. I can’t help but feel a sense of purpose that brings back so many memories. Over the years in Sebastian, or Margaritaville, everything is so laid back.

It’s why the learning curve is so high, it’s why they can organize two separate 100 ways during a single weekend for a “get ready” …
