CRW @ the Nationals

Recommended Posts

Dear CRWDogs,

Today was an "off" day in all of my events, and that was a blessing. 9 jumps
yesterday was a lot. (I think it was the 9 pack jobs that was worse).

Anyway, today was my day to bask in the resort-like ambience of Perris. Aside
from it being in an area most closely compared to the desert planet in "Dune",
it is one cool facility. It's a real skydiving resort. The weather is
perfect, the pool is great, the skydiving is ass-kicking, and every major dude
/ dudette in the skydiving world is hanging around. We just came back from the
Tunnel, where we watched the "Black Knights", the 4-way team who will be flying
the 4-way RW competition on their backs. They're really good, and watching
them was a hoot.

2-way CRW was the only CF thing going today (of course, that included a
precision 2-way landing / dance routine performed by the U. S .Team.) There
were about 10 teams, with all of them improving points with each round. I
don'y remember the final standings, but then again, this was my day off. The
vidiots were the stars of today, though. Some of them were shooting for two
teams, and made about 10 jumps. Thet's enough for anyone, but when you throw
in bad spots and the survival school-type landscape of this place, it makes for
a hell of a challenge.

Well, it's late, and my stuff cranks up again tomorrow. You know, this
competition flying makes you work so much that you feel like you improve by
light years by the time the comp. is over. That's when you think, "Damn, think
how good I would have been it I'd actually practiced".

Peace & Love from Perris,

Kevin3
