Fastrax Blue Due to the fact that I was committed to filming Fury at this year’s Nationals, I was unable to jump with my other team, Fastrax Blue. Bryan Harrell filled in for video and Marie Harrell filled in for point. The team finished the competition with a 16.5 and had a great time. |

The GauntletThe Gauntlet tunnel competition in Eloy Arizona is known to attract some of the best body pilots in the world, where they compete for the prestigious gauntlet and a huge cash prize. The competition lasted two days and featured 4-way FS, 4-way VFS, as well as 2-way VFS. (VFS = Vertical Formation Skydiving) Bryan Harrell and I entered the competition without having any prior experience flying with each other. The competition was a lot of fun, as there was a huge turn out. Bryan and I came in 5th with 93 points. Jason Peters, competitor and also the meet director for the event, placed first not just in 4-way VFS with his team AZ Arsenal, but also in 2-way VFS with Ray Kubiak. Congratulations Jason, and thank you for an awesome competition!
Perris Fury entered the competition as well, finishing strong with a 27.3 average to secure 2nd place! |

Eloy Tunnel CoachingWhile in Eloy, I did some free-fly tunnel coaching with Inbar Zamir. We worked predominantly on back-fly and sit-fly. She progressed at a rapid rate, and was a lot of fun to work with.

Harry's Last JumpOn 11/9/2008 Harry Leichner did his last jump over Perris Valley. Jana Wynne organized a 50-way, so all of Harry’s friends were able to accompany him. Jana was in the center of the formation, where Harry’s ashes were released.
If you’d like to receive a DVD of the ash dive, you can write me an e-mail with your contact information, and I will mail it to you directly. Donations start at $10, with all proceeds going to Jana Wynne. |
