That was frikkin nice... although I was sorta hoping to see you alongside me sometime, but it was good. Barreling back to the dz... GPS reported 157 km/h (97 mph) forward speed... (although I'm still fiddling with it - I'm not sure how reliable that was).

Hey Jarno, can you post some screencaps? Otherwise I'll do it tonight.

Cheers

It was after breakoff, 3500 ft is not the perfect altitude to start diving towards someone asking him to come and play:P

We could make it to the DZ (2 km further away or so) so a few people (including freeflyers, not just birds) swooped it into the small field, in the middle of a town there. Costyn also did a cool swoop, and then decided to practice landing on his belly..
Luckely 3 cameras where there to capture it on tape..

If he pays me enough the video will never make it online though...:P

:$ yeah about 3 meters from where I fell was a treeline right in my line of flight. I was more worried about hitting it and concentrating less on my flare and flared a little too high. I stumbled and did a nice PLF. Jarno managed to get a frame capture right at my most awkward moment, though. Hehe.

Well, if you don't post the video, I won't tell anybody about the swoop-and-get-foot-hooked-behind-grass-tuft-face-plant landing you made on saturday afternoon.. :P

Kay..then I also wont mention past weekends new moves such as the use your canopy as a bumper car© and the mccordia backfly corkscrew™ and the already famous Costyn freestyle exit™

DAMN did we have a good time past weekend...:P
The best was riding back to the DZ standing up in the back of a dark utility-van/driving tool-shed with 4 people..
