  1. Oooh Jesus!
    It's amazing how half a bottle of rum can make it look like you're enjoying anything!
    I didn't realize I was being suffocated by pillows whilst the whole imac thang was going down.

    Scott - You should've got the photo of Macca when he came out of the shop with his E200 worth of porn!;)

  2. AaaMen! What an awesome time!

    As you first arrive you are presented with the maddest DZ ever! Its got a proper control tower, baggage handling rooms, the works!

    Thanks to everyone for such an amazing time. I'll be buzzing for the next couple of weeks atleast!!

    The whole operation was so well organised and all the staff had a smile on their face the whole time!

    Amazing jumps during the day, I mean the 48way was done from 18,500ft which lastest almost 3 minutes and averaged 60mph!!!!

    It was so great to meet that many birdmen/women in one place and everyone learnt so much, with the debriefs (which I'm guessing were held somewhere around passport control) left everyone exclaiming FookYa!! as we watching them on the projector.

    Evenings were spent drinking beer and watching the video from the day. Those guys did a great job of getting the video out that quick!

    So thanks again to everyone for making that an amazing boogie.

    Same time next year?
    Toally Awwwwsome Dudes!!!

  3. We've lost contact aswell. I've been sending emails over the last week with no reply. Has anyone received their VISAs through yet? I feel a little unnerved sending photocopies of our passports over the net!

    We've put a deposit down for the Oka too, but it seems quite pricey at £25 a night. Does anyone know what the accomodation facilities are like on the DZ?

  4. Well it was a great weekend for the jumps we actually made. Bloody windy, bloody Britain!

    Macca, I just had to try and fly you into national grid out of jealousy for you getting your S6 first!!

  5. Hey!
    Looking forward to this boogie!!! Does anyone know of any hotels in the area?

    This is the only one we've found!

  6. Hey Congrats on the BMI mate!! Thats quality!!
    I'm glad I'm not the only one thats had a brush with a barbed wire fence.
    Hope you guys and gals all had a great time over Christmas and that you managed to get some more jumps in after the puss stopped Macca :P

  7. Cheers guys!
    What an awesome weekend!!! I was very impressed with the BMI course, which was amazingly thorough with a great proffessional attitude.
    And a extra special thanks to Mark and Yari for making us work on the checkout dives!! ;)
    We then did some great flocking dives and there was some awesome clouds around.
    Unfortunately Macca had to go home so missed those! ;)
    Met loads of cool people there and a nutter from JordieLand too! ;)
    Thanks for a top time!!!!! :)

  8. Yeah it was great to get my hero worshipping done on the friday night and then actually jump with the guy on saturday! ( Thats Loic by the way and not Zeemax! :P)

    somewhere to hang out if the weathers crappy, or you just want to take yourself away from it all.


    I believe its also the place you used to fall asleep when you've had one to many shandies! ;)
    Cheers for a top quality weekend guys!

    "Drinkies" are cheaper at Nethers but a meet in London sounds good. You organising? B|



    You buyin'?! ;)

    Off to Empuria with Tilly next weekend so wouldn't be able to make anything for the next three weeks!
    But anytime after that....would love to!!
    I keep meaning to go down to Nethers as I'm living in Reading at the moment, just haven't got round to it yet!

  10. Hey! I want to come and play too!!
    I'm not quite a London skydiver yet, although will be moving to Wimbledon soon!!
    Always up for some drinkies either in London or at Wings in Headcorn!

  11. Yeah a bit like that, but having multiple syncronised GPSs on the same load.
    Many GPSs seem to have a play back function too so you could replay the jumps second by second with all jumpers on the screen at the same time. Thought it would be a good way of reviewing jumps.

    was wondering whether its possible to correlate the data from multiple devices into one software program?



    Sure, as long as all the GPS receivers can talk to the software. However, if you are asking if the software can display 4 different people's flights onto one graph you might have a problem as I don't know of any software available to the public that does that.

    I just thought it would be really cool to have everyone on a flock wearing the GPS receiver and when you're debriefing, being able to watch the whole dive in realtime from every angle, seeing who was in, who was out etc.

    First off, it wouldn't be real time , it would be after the fact since you have to download the data after the flight. The other thing is that the data from even 2 people flying a GPS is going to look distinctly different from one another even if they were flying in close proximity to one another. So I don't think you could use that as a determination as to who was "in" and who wasn't. That's why we have cameras;)



    I don't understand. :SWhy would the two peoples GPS data be that much different? Surely if the receivers were relatively accurate they'd be pretty much identical. Just reading a few metres away from each other.

  13. Hi
    Still have wingsuited yet. But 4 weeks until I learn in Spain. Yaaay!!

    I was thinking about the GPS systems that you guys are jumping with and was wondering whether its possible to correlate the data from multiple devices into one software program?

    Anyone know if this is possible or tried it? I suppose it relies heavily on the accuracy of the GPS. But it would be good to see.
