Flock and Dock 10

Recommended Posts

1 month till Flock n Dock!!!

Only 12 slots left. The event IS capped at 100 simply because we don't want more than 10 pilots to each organizer.

Avoid disappointment and sign up. At this rate we will not have door sales.

Announcement: Flock n Dock 10 will be Scott Bland's retirement from wingsuit organizing. This makes it a historical event for sure. Nobody can deny that Scott has shaped modern organizing, he is indeed a High Altitude Hero.

Come and wave him off!

7 slots left!

I have just accepted a job that will prevent me from attending. Damn.
If anyone wants my slot you can have it, with conditions:
You have to show up, and you have to have fun.
So Simon, is this acceptable?
If so, any wingsuit fliers send me a PM that you want it. I'll pick one.
F&D 4 was the only one I went to, and I was really looking forward to this one. I know it will be a blast.
But what do I know?

100% OK. What we wanted more than to sell out was to also have 100 folks show up! Thanks for sharing.

I can't attend after all on account of a date conflict.

I've told Simon to put my registration fee towards the beer fund.

MAKE SURE HE DOES.

(And stay safe).



You just said a BEER fund...not that I had to share it! ;)

In general it looks like we are going to come in under budget. We run the event as a "not for profit" so that means we will HAVE to spend the surplus somehow in the bar. Be sure to be there Saturday night flockers!

I hear if you hire strippers in bulk, the cost per unit goes way down...

If you're a bird and you weren't here, you missed one hell of a wild party. Pyro. Hoola hoops. (The winner of THAT contest was gorgeous, elegant, and, well, WOW.) Flocks of all sizes and scales. A Skyvan.
Learning and teaching and drinking and playing and falling down and getting back up and running around committing random acts of mischief and mayhem and fun.

Reconnected with a decade's worth of old friends from around the world and made some new ones. I think I got hugged about 300 times my first 2 hours on the DZ and things just got better from there. About the only negative thing that happened was my old Suunto decided it'd had enough of this crap and bailed off my wrist at some point during deployment. Since nobody reported being coldcocked by an out of control ballistic timepiece, I assume it landed safely somewhere. But if anybody at Zhills ever finds a beat up stainless steel Suunto altimeter watch on an aftermarket nylon and velcro band out in the field somewhere, it's mine. If not, well, I needed a new watch anyway.

I will miss it, it was a loyal old friend with at least 1500 jumps on it, but that's life. Gear comes, gear goes, but friends last forever.

Made it home safe, tired, and very, very happy.
Till next time...

Thanks to everyone that showed up and made the event AWESOME this year!! Lots of Jumps, All types of formations, Great Times were had! :)
Scott

Great event, thanks to all of the organizers!

I am new to wingsuits and have worked the past year to be ready to participate in a bigway flock. The bigway organizers worked us hard to get us ready and still have fun while building those skills.

Thanks for such a great week!

The video is finally available! Next year we are taking a different approach to the video where we have a full time booth producing it in almost real time. Should capture the event spirit better and be available a lot quicker!
