Just got home. After 19 WS jumps that included: as large a 12 way, several first flight 2 ways, balloon chasing, and a 3 way midnight with no moon on new years eve out of the DC3(jump #666>:(-what could go wrong?), I'm am pooped.

Had a blast jumping with DSE(take care of that pretty blue and yellow Phacro), Ficus and Quickdraw. You guys did awesome.

sdctlc and unclecharlie did a great job organizing.

Hoped to get a balloon WS jump in today, but was winded out by a pretty strong dust storm.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Thanks Scott and James for the wingsuit organizing, and everyone else for participating to make the flocks successful and safe.
At least the balloon I was chasing was at an altitude we could have flown by, if we had been there three minutes earlier, not like some beacon on a short tower.
And you turned down the evil streamer on jump 666, I mean after brake fires, slider wraps, d-bag wraps and sight entanglements what else could the streamer have found to mess with on that jump?;)

Monkey,

Hope that night WS jump was fun, sounds like it was.. Did anybody else go with you?



I went with James and Kristina. I exited last and got spun around by the prop blast and lost them. Ended up doing a solo. Remarkable just how many blinky red things there are at night.:S:D

33 jumps. The biggest was Eliana's and Craig's 40-way, and the smallest was a 25-point 3-way. I really want to thank Terry, who worked the entire boogie and organized a lot of low-key, very interesting and safe skydives. I learned a lot from him. Also, do I even need to say that Arizona Airspeed rocks? I've said it before, and I'll say it again - you guys rock! Those were some amazing jumps that you all put together. Also, thanks much to B^2 and Bryan Burke for keeping things running smoothly. It is very pleasant to attend a boogie where no one is seriously hurt, and that is very much due to your great organization.

Still my favorite boogie ;)

Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

You might find yourself in some of the pix. I don't know who everyone was, so just took a random sampling of some of my favorite shots.
Not a lot of aerial pix; the wingsuiters got me hooked and I'm not ready to wear a camera and a wingsuit just yet.

Hell, I'll resurrect this thread because many of us are just getting back. I just woke up from recovering from the 20+ hour drive, but it was worth it!!

We competed in Collegiate Nationals as well happening at the same time, and we had 2 place form Kstate, including myself in Master's sport accuracy.

The 31st was a bit on the chilly side, but it warmed up each day and by the time we left it was warm and beautiful.

Just got home from the Boogie (and a couple of fun days in Vegas for kicks). Many thanks to Skydive AZ for a wonderful time and to Airspeed for the 30 plus jumps during the boogie (especially the formation loads).

Met a lot of old friends and made some new ones. Only 50 weeks until the 2008 Holiday Boogie!!
