Zeemax 0 #1 July 27, 2009 Hi all, The UKS boogie will be one of the biggest boogies in Europe this year. All of the big manufacturers will be there touting their wares, along with some seriously world class LOers / coaches. It's being hosted at one of the UKs biggest DZ's, the awesome Skydive Hibaldstow, which is just up the A1 from London. Current aircraft line up: 22 Place Twin turbine - Skyvan - Tailgate goodness! 15 place twin turbine, Dornier G92. A second 15 place twin turbine, Dornier G92. 9 place turbine Finnist SMG There may also be some other 'specialist' aircraft, but nothing concrete yet. Why am I posting this here you may ask? Well, it just so happens that there's going to be lots of lovely wingsuiters there as well! Myself and Jarno (McCordia) will be there in an official capacity - handling all the wingsuiting at the boogie - on behalf of Phoenix Fly to provide FREE LOing, coaching, FFC's, beer drinking, stupidity and of course pony loving. In addition we'll have a huge line up of demo suits for you to try for all ranges of ability. If you're a UK jumper and want your WS1 and 2 stickers signed off, we can also help you out with that Our plan is to work with smaller groups to start, then progress through the weekend building larger formations in a safe controlled manner, culminating in some bigger ways towards the end. All experience levels are welcome, and we'll work closely with you to make sure you see at least some improvement in your skill set. As with previous years the boogie has a theme, this year it be PIRATES! There will be some AWESOME parties over the weekend, so make sure you dress up suitably For more details on the boogie, check out the site HERE, or the forum HERE Places for the boogie are limited and there's only a few left. I have room in my car if anyone needs a lift up there, and there's plenty of space for camping. So, although possibly limited by a predominantly American based audience, i'm going to start the "list"... Who's coming? 1. Macca 2.

mccordia 73 #2 July 27, 2009 I just jumped again last weekend, and have been deemed airworthy again (after my small shoulder breakage 5 weeks ago). My boat-ticket is already booked, and looking forward to it! Several Dutch flyers are looking into maybe attending (Hans/Costyn). In our usual stylee, load organsing and 1 on 1 coaching of your (back) flying is all part of the boogie, so use it and abuse it! We will have all demo suits with us to try and fly. Including the new Phantom2z and Stealth2 (pre-release) For those interested, we will also provide high-speed exit instruction for some awesome showcase flying out of the skyvans tailgate door, and work with the pilot on getting everyone the maximum speeds they think they can safely handle :) With enough UK flyers present, we will also try and set an unofficial UK WS formation record (Ill fly video to not interfere with the UKness of the formation:) if skills and number of flyers allow for this. And of course..drinks and nerdy campfire talk in the evenings! Cant wait till next month...see y'all there!JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccordia 73 #6 August 4, 2009 Only 3 more weeks to go, so here is a little update: We will have a large range of PhoenixFly demo suits to try during the boogie. This includes the new V3, new Stealth2, new Phantom2z, Prodigy2 and Ghost2. We have several sizes available from small to tall. No clothing, just top of the line, high performance wingsuits Special Boogie discount on all PF orders made during the boogie. Plus we have some (close to new) demo suits for sale at bargain prices! If you are planning a future sale, its also possible for us to already take your measurements so we have em on file for future use. There will be a (free) raffle for our wingsuit group, with fun goodies such as the FlyTheLine2 DVD. We will be there early friday, so just find us at the Phoenix-Fly wingsuit area (just look for a load of demo suits, PF banners and two hyped ADHD bunnies!) to join in on the first wingsuit load going up at the boogie! Macca and I will be flying video/stills on all jumps. At the end of the day/boogie you can copy the stills and videos for free. Just bring a laptop or memorystick. We have 2 load organisers, so lots of room for individual attention during the briefing and debrief. If you have anything you want to work on, let us know! 1 on 1 jumps and FFCs during the boogie are also possible! All instruction and organising is part of the boogie. Only for 1 on 1 jumps and FFCs, there is a possible charge for just the instructors slot (but more on this later) The jumps themselves will be great fun! Stacks, docked lines, flat formations, 3D formations. We'll try and get some awesome stuff of all of you on photo and video for bragging! If you want, supply us your jump-ticket at the end of the day, and we will make sure you are with us on the first load the next morning Not flying a wingsuit, but just interested in a look and a chat! Dont hesitate to drop by! See you all in 3 short weeks!JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccordia 73 #9 September 1, 2009 Everyone who came to fly at UKS, a big thank you from both Macca and me! I had a great time! Did my first UK wingsuit jumps, and had a ton of fun doing load organizing and 1 on 1 coaching! The high speed exits where rockin' hard (as always!) and some high winds and backwards landings aside, the weather also cooperated quite nicely in a very un-UK-ish way! You guys will definitaly be seeing more of us there! Also had great fun with the intentional cutaway/skyhook demo Macca and I got to do for UPT Vector and PD. Really cool to see and do Ill post some video bits soon! All the best!JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
