In flight Dock @ Birdman boogie

Recommended Posts

Today at the Birdman boogie an in flight dock was accomplished by myself, Chris martin and Scarry perry with Jeffro who was flying the XOAS-21, 21SqFt canopy. The video footage is awesome(3 views) as are the stills. I will post some video grabs a bit later on after we're done jumping. We still have a High Speed downwind pass and a Hoop dive on the schedule for today. WE ARE NOT SUCKING IN ELOY!!:D

I had fun today!

...for those of you who missed out today... better be Birding with us tomorrow...

Let's make the next one a normal into the wind pass... i landed 2 miles out in the desert to pick up the Xaos21-21... walked all the way back only to discover that I left the d-bag for the canopy out there... walked back to the exact spot (Tennessee tracker skills!), picked up the d-bag and walked back... nice day for a 6 mile hike in the desert!

If you ain't here for the FIRST annual Bird-Man Boogie, you better make plans for next Halloween!

Eloy rocks!

Chris

That will be awesome for the people that unfortunatly didn't get to fly with one of the best.
He is truly missed.

I never met Chris, but he was at the Titusville Leap Year boogie doing tandem WS jumps (I knew who he was), and near the end of the night when everyone (including him, I presume) had had quite a few beers, I remember him running up out of nowhere, hugging me, and then running off. :D

In line with Kristi's wishes, I too will make the images I have of the dock public in a day or two.


EDIT: While stills may be nice, I personaly feel there is nothing better than the actual video footage of the dock. I will try to get the actual footage up if time permits.

Scroll up to the top of the thread to Chris's post if you want to read about it. Chris followed it after cutaway and recovered it but he did have a little adventure in doing so.
