Girlfalldown 0 #1 July 20, 2005 From Team Jank: Bay Area Skydiving, Gravity Gear and Team Jank are excited to announce a collaboration of two of Northern California's greatest boogies: The Byron Boogie and The NorCal Freefly Festival. The event will take place over four days (September 22-25) and will combine all the best of both boogies. Team Jank will be putting together a spectacular video presentation on Saturday night with three huge screens and special videos put together to take advantage of the 3-screen format. If you were at last year's NCFF, then you know what to expect; only bigger and better! We will also be putting together the boogie video for this event and showing it in the 3-screen format during Saturday's video show. On Thursday and Friday of the boogie we will be designing special jumps that will be filmed by 3 cameramen to create a one-of-a-kind video experience. We're not just talking about freeflying. Some of the ideas we have tossed around are an 8-way belly jump with 3 freefly cameramen carving around and over the top of the formation. Or a tracking dive filmed from 3 unique angles. Or how about a simple 2-way being filmed from 3 angles, all shown simultaneously. The possibilities are endless. So, if you would like to be a big part of Saturday nights video show, plan on coming out for all four days. We will be looking for camera flyers who would like to donate their time (and $) and be a part of this project as well. But the video is just the tip of the iceberg. Saturday night will also feature the Byron debut of "THE WHEEL OF CARNAGE"! There will be live music, kareoke, beer, food and all of the atmosphere that has made the Byron Boogie such a classic event. A web site has been established to keep everyone up-to-date as to the details of the boogie (www.byron-boogie.com). Check it frequently. There are a lot of people helping to make this a huge event and the enthusiasm is extremely high.

chopchop 0 #6 July 26, 2005 Again this year, we will be having a Zone Accuracy competition with great prizes.. Work on your canopy accuracy.. Last year, Geno Yamamoto took first and won 40% off of a complete Aerodyne system! We also had great prizes from PD, Wings, Birdman, Iwan, wine from Shannon, Matthias, Bay Area Skydiving, Spy Rigging.. and of course.. Gravity Gear.. Almost all of the 23 entrants won something and all of them learned and increased their canopy skills. I am working on rounding up great prizes again for this year. chopchop gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking.. Lotsa Pictures Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Girlfalldown 0 #7 August 15, 2005 The Zone Accuracy competition was great last year! Maybe this year I'll get to actually land in the course for once! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rookie120 0 #8 August 16, 2005 QuoteAlmost all of the 23 entrants won something and all of them learned and increased their canopy skills. The way I'm flying my new canopy you can put me down as the solid winner of the ASSWHAD award. I hope to improve on that a little before I show up and maybe get the DIPSHIt award instead.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

I hope to improve on that a little before I show up and maybe get the DIPSHIt award instead. Hmmm.. we don't have a Dipshit or asswhad award but we do have these great prizes.. Aerodyne has stepped up with 2 prizes.. 40% off a complete Aerodyne system AND 30% off a new Aerodyne main canopy (Aerodyne also will be at the boogie with demos to include their hot new main..) Wings has put up another 50% off a new Wings container. Velocity Sports Equipment has put up 50% off a new Infinity container. Tony Suits 50% off their very cool cargo pants. Vine Connections Shannon throwing down a case of wine. Performance Designs 30% off a new PD main canopy and a couple of hot PD T-shirts. Katana anyone? Icarus Canopies supporting the cause with TWO 35% off new icarus main canopies. Matthias offering his mad skills up with some freefly coaching complete with the in-air radio communication system. Also, I have confirmation from SSK, Larsen & Brusgard, Alti 2 and Gravity Gear that they are thrilled to be supporting our event and prizes will be forthcoming.. chopchop gotta go...

kelpdiver 2 #14 August 18, 2005 So what is 'Zone' accuracy? That include in the air? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopchop 0 #15 August 18, 2005 It is an accuracy landing competition. Here is a drawing of the course.. It is 50 feet wide at the entry gates and narrows to 40' for the rest of the course. Each zone is 25' long. This course is easily navigated to a perfect score on a lightly loaded canopy without any performance inducing turns. Give it a shot.. You've got nothing to lose and plenty to learn and or win from participating. chopchop gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking.. Lotsa Pictures Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #16 August 18, 2005 great picture. looks fun. How tall is the entry gate? Overshoot that and I'd score a zero, right? That looks like the key challenge for me, then try to get at least two zones in. Footballs might have to live on their own. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So just try to land in the right zone, and you get the points for that zone, then hit the gates on top of that.. 10 bonus points.. and then some bonus points for all the footballs you hit.

I can't remember how tall those blades are.. as Iwan said, though, going vertical over the gates is not a zero. The gates and footballs are bonus points. the real money is landing in the 40 point zone. chopchop gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking..

But didn't you have to buy a spin (e.g. $1 per spin or something) - so for your "raffle ticket" you could get something "good" (gear coupon, etc.) or "bad" (a shot)?

Girlfalldown 0 #22 August 23, 2005 Yup! You got it. It's actually $3 a spin or 2 for $5. Even if you just get drinks the whole time it's still cheaper than the bar! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
