jcosta 0 #1 July 14, 2006 Wicked Liquid is hosting a swoop boogie at skydive the Farm in Georgia. It is basically a get together for swoopers to practice new moves and trade tips. It is for Intermediate and Advanced swoopers only. If you have any ?s please email Joey at [email protected]. They have two killer ponds to practice over so f you have been itching for some water then you need to show up. I am trying to arrange to have a few "experts" on the different aspects of swooping. I am trying to get someone to talk about Canopy Aerodynamics. Joe Bennet said he was going to try to come and talk about the different designs of removable deployment systems. Here is a link to the event: http://www.teamwickedliquid.com/swoopboogie/index.htm I am trying to get Joe to show up with his modified Velocity plus we just ordered the 5th JVX Hybrid off the line so I am hoping we will have it by then! See ya soon! Chuck I wasn't sure if you said I could or couldn't link to the website so if I shouldn't have a link just tell me and I will remove it!

There will be no registration fee! For the people that are coming if they could bring a person that wouldn't mind filming that would really help. I would like to have at least 4 or 5 people on the ground filming. I will make sure to have the cameras, we just need the people! Also it would be a good idea to start thinking of a move that you have seen or even one that you have made up that you want to practice! I know I have the ones I want to try Lets get ready for the carnage!!

I dont have any moves, and will pass on the carnage, but hope to learn some. If Ive got my new canopy by then I'll have MUCH learning to do.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jcosta 0 #8 July 17, 2006 What kind of canopy are you getting?

Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jcosta 0 #11 July 17, 2006 I think there are a few criteria. 1. Someone that is flying at least an elliptical canopy and can comfortably and safely perform a 270 degree landing. 2. Flying a 1.5 wing loading or higher. 3. Could make it through a 200 foot blade course without hitting any of the blades. This boogie is looking to help people that have established they are proficient at a 270 landing and are ready to start to drag toe and try some freestyle moves. Unfortunately unless you are surfing 250 - 350+ consistenly I don't think you will be able to perform many freestyle moves except for dragging your foot!
