March 2005 Z-flock in BPA Mag (Aug 05)

Recommended Posts

Thanks to Macca for the headsup. I was disappointed to not see any coverage of it in US mags (I'll admit I don't get Skydiving, so maybe it was in there?).

I just wanted to give all the other Z-flockers a heads-up. You can view the PDF here.

You know, that was my fault .. I meant to get something to the mags, but I was just so freakin' busy.

Darren did a good job on this article, but a lot of the verbage looks suspiciously like the handout I made for Flock 'n Dock 1.

I'll post a link to it later.

Yes i bastardised your handout mate, i originally submitted the pictures i took for the previous mag but they never got back to me. then the editor asked me to quickly submit somehting for the next mag but didnt give me all to long to do it. your handout was excellent and covered all the points she wanted to have in the mag but i included my own and simon brentfords thoughts too......
didnt think you would mind as we got lots of coverage for the event and i've already had several people ask me at UK dz's about next year!!! I think we will have a large UK contingent for the next one as a direct result of the article and the Pictures.......

I for one cant wait for more z-flock action!

We're planning Sept 16-18 for Flock 'n Dock 1.5.

Ray Dutch told me that the Deland Big-Ways will not be happening this November. So it's likely that we'll pick up the slack at Flock 'n Dock 2.0 in March '06.

I've spoken with TK about getting a tailgate aircraft for for that event, and it's do-able. (Think about 60 ways from a Casa and 2 Otters!) There's lot's of planning that has to go on between now and then though. In any case I'd expect a larger event than last time!

no, sorry not comin over for 1.5, as will be in switzerland for cable car boogie and then off for more big wall WS fun. hopefully without deployment problems this time though!!!!!

nice one mate for organising z-2, ill work on the UK contingent. hell i dont give a poop if its deland 60 ways or z-flock 60 ways for gods sake, anything like this years z-flock would be awesome, it was (until my recent italian operation) my favourite few days parachutin yet....... the people and the organising were first class! my walls are covered in the pictures from z-flock 05 and pictures of a 60 way would be most excellent........ i have left some space especially for them!

anyway, please post dates asap as some of us have to buy very expensive flights over a big cold lump of sea, the earlier the better!!!!
