Puerto Rico Freefall Festival 2009

Recommended Posts

I found a sweet cabin near the dropzone for cheap if I can get 4 people (including myself) -- let me know -- it's got a pool, near the DZ -- looks like a really chill spot -- I might have one other coming with me -- but let me know if there are any other birds needing a nest. I"m flying in Feb 9 and leaving Feb 16...
need to book asap though

... me too. I still haven't gotten three !

I don't think I have the strengthaltitude for five minutes anyway !



The best registered performances so far by some of the best pilots in some of the biggest suits currently available have been slighly over 60 seconds in 3000 ft (with a flaring technique).

Using a standard altitude of 12000 ft, opening altitude of 3000 ft, and flying it constant (no flare into a measuring window) I thing 99,9% of all WS flyers out there will be hard pressed to score anything more then a few seconds past 3 minutes.

If you want more time..get more altitude, or pull lower..;)

I did my First Wing Suit jump there in 2007. Can't wait to be back there again!

If there are demo/rental suits available, my buddy Jeff will flock with us too... He is just getting started flying wings.

In this particular case we will have the altitude... 21,000 feet... I think arm strength could be an issue, for me anyway.



Just bring a broomstick, and stick that one under your rig, and through your sleeves...helps keep the arm tight...havent figured out the pulling yet though...:P

Careful Dan -- not too many jumps -- the goal of SLUM U is to asymptotically approach becoming a WHUFFO. It is an art -- one that only you and I have mastered. Danny and I will be offering SLUMMIN' coaching at the boogie this year --

Danny -- we're going to need more chairs. I'm thinking we could probably get some SLUM formation loads on the ground if we had enough chairs with rollers -- formation SLUMMIN' is in its infancy stages -- we'll work out all the kinks and down all the drinks soon enough...

Doing my best to get some travel companions for this boogie- not looking good. Was wondering if there is anyone headed to Puerto Rico on 2-9 and leaving on 2-16 that would be into sharing a room/car rental for the week. Anyone have an extra bed that needs filling, or a free slot in their car? Let me know, I would hate to miss this boogie.

count me in as #29...does anyone know if the Hotel Rosa del Mar is walking distance to the DZ?



The whole island is walking distance. Just might take you a few days. :D

I don't really think any of the hotels are going to be "walking distance" as you probably mean.

I wanted to post some last minute items to think about:

I hate to travel on commercial flights with my gear, but both USPA and Cypres have some hints for making it easier ...

http://www.uspa.org/USPAMembers/Membership/Travel/WithintheUS/tabid/311/Default.aspx

http://www.cypres-usa.com/AirTravelUpdate.htm

Remember to put your hook knife in your checked bag as well as your personal flotation device, if you bring one. PFD's are not required for beach jumps, but while "life insurance" only pays when you're dead, this investment pays off when you live. I wear one for the beach jumps ... Cabela's has them:

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0043183943220a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntk=Products&sort=all&Go.y=0&_D:hasJS=+&Nty=1&hasJS=true&No=18&Ntt=pfd&N=0&_D:sort=+&_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/search/search-box.jsp.form1&Go.x=0&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1

Airlines are also being real dicks about the weight limit on checked bags. Weigh your bags when you pack them, or, like a fat girl who wants sex, be prepared to pay (giggity).

Lastly, if your last name is "Gray", you might want to consider a personal medical kit with extra stitching thread in it. :)
I can't wait to see you all there! Woo-Hoo!

Scott
