Canadian Freefly Festival lots of "firsts"

Recommended Posts

Just got back from SkydiveBurnaby in Ontario where the Gravity Pirates are hosting the 3rd annual Canadain FreeFly festival.

It was my pre-second time out of a twin-otter (FrankenOtter to boot)!!! My pre-second competition (FreeFly scrambles) My pre-second BIGway (15 dudes and dudettes) and all around, my pre-second BOOGIE!!! Man I had a great time; Sucks to be back at work while the Festival goes on:( They're bringing another Otter this week and Olav and Dave Brown are coming too! I'm going to go back this weekend and will probably be doing my pre-second Helicopter Jump.... Oh man, I'm going to have to just bite the bullet and buy a coupla' KEGS for this month :P

Hey Goose,

Just looked at your profile...wonder if you are the Nick I did a 2 way sit with? You should have told me you wree on dz.com....they did put a canadian dz.com record together....but I will let the texas contigent talk about that when they get back.

Sadly they pulledme from it since I only have 40 jumps and the regional st&a and the dzo wouldn't let me go on a 7 way hybrid....... damn canadian a license restrictions........

See you next weekend...

Yeah, that's me! I heard Krista (Pippy) talking to you just as I was leaving and she said she'd post footage of a dive on dropzone.com. I love this site. It's very informative and gives me a skidive escape while stuck at my desk all week :(

Anyway, yeah I'll see you next weekend, We'll have to do another sit jump... I've gotten out of that suit I was wearing and can pick up a lot more speed. I'm glad you and Eric had a good jump though:D I tell you you can try to get away from those pirates and they'll still stick to you like glue. Did you sign up for the helicopter?

Yeah, I've gotten a lot of footage of myself in sit as I tend to be quite floaty. Trouble is that I'm so light (145lbs) and have been wearing a poly-cotton suit with quite a bit of extra material... It helped me learn a stable sit but once I started jumping with more and more people, I found that I had to Stand it right out to "GET DOWN"!

I'm now in the market for either a smaller supplex suit or some freefly pants. We'll get our levels worked out bud :)
