windcatcher 0 #1 February 27, 2005 well, I am thinking if I go with the right company, I might like to try out Couch Freaks. What makes it so great, I hear a lot of people say it's way more fun than WFFC...? I will most definitely be in Rantoul this summer, but thought it might also be fun to try and hit Couch Freaks also, if I have any money left over at WFFC 2005. So let's hear it, what do you enjoy about C.F.? ( besides naked debauchery) Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

windcatcher 0 #5 February 27, 2005 yeah, that's true. I was just wondering if they had any specialty aircraft??? Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #6 February 27, 2005 I was only able to go for Sunday night and Monday last year. But it was great fun. Mainly what wingnut said... good skydives with friends. Lots of drinking at night... there was a DVD made, you could see if someone has a copy of that or go to the website about that. http://www.couchfreaks.com/ Specialty planes? I just jumped out of the Otter, I don't think there was really much else. (but again, I got there late) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #7 February 27, 2005 hey thanks, actually, come to think of it, I do know someone at the dz who has a video. I have seen pictures and a little video I'll have to watch the one from last year Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kansasskydiver 0 #8 February 27, 2005 I've been there 4 years in a row, it kicks ass. Milk truck converted to a beer truck with taps, 2 otters, skyvan and kingair. Hot air balloons, zoomieland, and lots of partying. I generally make 25-35 jumps while i'm there. $40 registration $17-$18 jumps. It's a good time I highly suggest it<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #9 February 27, 2005 they have hot air balloon jumps at C.F??? see, I knew my post would tell me something!!!sounds like a good time!

Amazon 7 #12 February 27, 2005 I bet there is CORN there....that shit is evil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #13 February 27, 2005 And chickens too!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #14 February 27, 2005 corn??? nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! I landed in the corn once, NOT doing it again. Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #15 February 27, 2005 QuoteAnd chickens too!!!! Not a good thing to have around me... I had a neighbor once when I lived on a farm.. he had an obnoxious rooster that used to do the morning call right outside my window ... at first light...... I told the neighbor for 3weeks to keep the bird restrained so I could sleep or I would solve the problem....he did not.. I introduced Mr Rooster to Mr 9mm... tough old bird.. but properly cooked he was not too bad as shredded chicken. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kansasskydiver 0 #16 February 27, 2005 Yes there is some corn, but the landing area is HUGE and most of it will be beans this year anyways. The spots are pretty good, just kick the RW guys out of the way when they don't set up right and exit on green. There are a lot of fogs doing rw and a lot of freefliers as well. Some birdies and swoopers. It's a good time, not as wild and crazy/dangerous as WFFC And corn, yeah it sucks, I have proof: (watch the ending) http://www.ksu.edu/ksupc/gallery/corn_swooping.html<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist!

Amazon 7 #17 February 27, 2005 I like the little pop up.....'I'm glad there wern't any cobs" Trouble is late in the summer.. there are COBS.. BIG ASS COBS... trying to beat you to death... and that is once you are past the sharp spikes at the top where they have trimmed off the tassles earlier in the summer once the pollination is over... oh yeah... fun shit to land in if you are into masachism.

kansasskydiver 0 #25 February 28, 2005 QuoteAsk flyangel about their shower setup... Let's not get started on that subject again. I was there that year and actually witnessed all the fuss. Last year was much better, co-ed showers or not, everyone takes showers together anyways at any boogie<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
