Well, it's just tooooo HOT to ride.
I'm heading out next Wednesday for my annual pilgrimage to Skydive Chicago for Summerfest 2010; it's a 'boogie' (skydivers term for big event) for some big-time skydiving. There will be multiple aircraft, parties every night, usually some kind of record attempt (world record free-fly (head-down) was achieved here last year), and all around FUN. If anyone in the area ever wanted to make a tandem skydive, this would be a great week for it.
I usually try to come the entire time, but had to negotiate with the pillion (she's going to Oshkosh for the EAA convention same week) and won't be there until WED PM or Thursday. I'll hopefully get 3 good days of jumping so wish for good weather!
Here are a few pics lifted from their website and a vid or two from last year; and before anyone goes 'investigating', yes, I'm in all the pics and it realllly is me I'm wearing two different suits; one is white with light blue grips and a bunch of patches on it, and the other is black with a bunch of other colors in it. The rig and my helmet are same in all pics; GoPro mount stuck on the helmet...I'll be wearing my GoPro HD so hoping for some good HIDEF vids this year.
BLUE SKIES!!
