SkymonkeyONE 3 #77 September 22, 2006 it's 9:30 and there are seven birds present.... Don't be the guy who is "sick at home" like Matt. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katiebear21 0 #78 September 22, 2006 Just got home from Sebastian - no jumpies there so I get to make my first jump on the Lady Flyer today... Don't worry, I already bought Tony, Smiley and Jeff an 18-pack when I picked up the suit. Said I'd buy the last six pack when I lived!

SkymonkeyONE 3 #79 September 22, 2006 We have done four flights today; the last two were 12-way stacked vertical wedges. It's a great day here at Z-hills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IslandGuy 0 #80 September 23, 2006 Awesome day, 7 flocks total - none less than a 9-way. It just got better every load. Caught some cloud on one. Katie had the new Tony Suit wired on her second jump. Scott flew base like a laser guided missile. Micky and Scott conspired to get us perfect spots. Scotty B got the hang-onto-the-outside-of-the-plane-the-longest award. (It is going to be a long time before that one is broken - and it is on video and it did happen.) Matt provided excellent debrief video. Cameras on just about every other helmet (and Jeff's hand) so there has got to be a few good shots out of all that. And, on the sunset load, Scott had cold beer waiting for us in the LZ - and thank you Janet for distributing. All this on the first day - looking forward to the rest of the weekend. Yup, just another flockin' day in paradise. Can't wait for some more of that 3-D stuff. Two more days - yahoo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #81 September 23, 2006 First flock of the day was a 9-way vertical "V" flying. Very nice way to start a Saturday. The weather is perfect here at Z-hills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #82 September 24, 2006 Seven nice flocks Friday; seven nice flocks today (Saturday). If you are not here you are missing some really good times. It's beer-thirty; I gotta run. Gimme TWO, fools! Chuckie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #83 September 24, 2006 I cannot believe that Matt has not posted pics from yesterday and Friday. I am going to stick his head in a toilet first thing this morning. Oh, by the way, I have a massive hangover! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LyraM45 0 #84 September 24, 2006 QuoteI cannot believe that Matt has not posted pics from yesterday and Friday. I am going to stick his head in a toilet first thing this morning. He was probably too busy playing with himself in his tent-- being away from his girlfriend and all. I'm sure he'll have them up after he does some work on them at home. In the mean time-- no toilet whirlies, please! I usually don't poke my nose in on a reply in here, but I just couldn't resist. Hope you guys are having fun!!Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 0 #85 September 25, 2006 Thanks to everyone for showing up, especially those who came from out of state - Matt, Brian, Nate, and Purple Mike (sorry if I missed anyone). Lots of good jumps for sure. I will have some pictures posted on my site within a day or two, and a video coming later. Also thanks to Scott for organzing, and to Skydive City and Morpheus / Phoenix-Fly for making this event possible again. EDIT: Here is a picture, the rest coming soon. www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 3 #87 September 25, 2006 We had a good event. It was a manageable crowd (average flock size was 12) and perfect weather. There were a total of 22 wingsuit loads; I did 17 of them. We had two reserve rides (Mark and Scotty's new girlfriend), but no injuries. Everyone landed on airport too. We built some very clever formations: -plenty of "BFV's" -double chevrons -stacked V's -"the double flying vagina with video penetration" -"the vertical true vagina with triple penetration" -a tall stack -a tall vertial V -wedge -"the true Z" -a muff brothers initiation wingsuit dive (five new muff brothers) Some of the dives were a real hoot! Ultimately, we all had a great time and made a ton of fun, fairly technical skydives. People had the opportunity to jump pretty much any suit they wanted and every single skydive had suits from nearly every manufacturer. Here's what was all flying together: -at least six different variants of Tony Z-wings and J-birds -one S6 -four S3's -one Firebird -at least six Vampires (mostly V1's, but there were two V2's that did not get flown) -one back-vented Phantom -one Matter 3 The evening meals that Janine cooked were excellent, as usual. The only thing that sucked at all about the event was all the love bugs flying around and getting onto and into stuff. It was very disturbing and I can't wait till they are gone. One thing I can say for sure is this: there is not a single dropzone in the entire United States that has as many full-time wingsuiters than Z-hills. We positively kill it here. Hey, it's 10:30 am on Monday morning and I have to go outside and get on an Otter. Peace, fools! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notsane 0 #91 September 25, 2006 Thanks to everyone for showing up and thanks to Rob and Morpheus for continuing to support the event. The experience level was higher than I've ever seen before .. we were able to do formations this time that we've had in mind for 2 years. I got 20 jumps in 3 days and had one HELL of a good time. Planning is already in the work for Z-Flock and Dock 3.0 and if the expestec lift capacity come through, this will be the one you won't want to miss. Gimme TWO, Fool!

nathaniel 0 #93 September 26, 2006 Speaking of expected lift capacity, let's start getting the speeds down some The tail wing on my MTR3 blew out on the last dive on Saturday. Ahh well, I needed an excuse to buy a new suit anyway My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

notsane 0 #96 September 26, 2006 Nate, I doubt that even with my Pilot 150 deployed that I could get down to the speeds you're capable of. With the serious tail-wing flappage you had going on I'm surprised the tail wing lasted until Saturday.
