Awesome!! It will great to see everyone there.

FYI: Tony Uragallo of Tony Suits will be working the event with tons of DEMO suits. We will also have our good friend Scotty Burns with us flying video slot. He will definitely have some world class quality video and photos of our flocks.

We have some really unique dives planned that will be a signature of Skyfest. These formations will be unlike anything you have done before! ;)

Don't forget that this event is a lead-in to the World Record Qualifiers later this summer. It will give you a great chance to hone your bigway skills for these later events!!

For those still not on the list yet you should definitely not miss this. It will be an awesome boogie!!!

We will be jumping smoke on Saturday and Sunday with the larger formations.

Some special formations have been planned and will be briefed at the event. Smoke will be jumped on these and we will do a couple practice jumps leading up to these.

These will be the event photo money shots. --- with Mr. Burns flying camera we should have many world class pics.


We will also be organizing a rememberance jump for our friend Rob Jones, a fixture for years in the wingsuiting community, Owner of Morpheus Technologies and member of the Phoenix Fly family. He recently passed in freediving accident - our thoughts are with him and his family.

Hello everyone! Looks like we have quite a few birds coming. Some are new and some old and several who did not add their name to the list. We should have some nice flocks flying by Thursday.

The weather looks good although a bit on the warm side with a chance of Puffies!!!

Anyone interested in First Flight should come on down. We will be doing FFC courses everyday Thur -Sun.

Tony is bringing many DEMO suits to try as well!!

See you there this weekend!!
