British Nationals: 23-24 August

This is what it's all about; last meet of season. We did 4 training jumps on the Friday. On the last jump, we did a 34 point skydive, breaking the team's previous record of 30, putting us in good spirit for the coming competition.
To our pleasant surprise, the weather was fantastic. We managed to complete 8 rounds on saturday, and all 9 AAA teams completed round 9 and 10 on the Sunday. At the end, we scored a total of 143 points in all 10 rounds and took bronze behind Bodyflight Storm and Satori. Result!!

04-AUG-2008: BKPC

We decided to spend our last training weekend before the World Meet at the very scenic and hospitable Black Knights to jump the Porter. Most of us had never been to Black Knights before and we were greeted and looked after by the very friendly staff and local jumpers. Phil, the CCI, even helped us hook up our four new Aerodyne canoipes. The turn-around was quick. Despite the late start due to the weather, we did 12 jumps on Saturday without breaking sweat, and manifest was friendly and helpful. It was definitely a worthwhile trip for us, even for Laura and her 6 hours drive from Surrey.
One hour of training left at BodyFlight and we're off to France on Friday the 8th. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!

28-JULY-2008: Only 1 (and a bit) week to go!

We had another fabulous training weekend up at Hibaldstow during the hottest days of the year. We did 13 trianing jumps on the Saturday and 5 on the Sunday. We have re-engineered our 21 exit, which now flies like a dream with all grips complete. Most of our A and B slot block techniques have also shown marked improvement from the previous weekend.
On the Saturday, our sponsor from Airedale, Mark J Nelson, did an awesome tandem skydive with us. Pictures and videos wil be posted shortly.

23-JULY-2008: Only 2 weeks to go!

I'm certainly feeling a concoction of nervousness and excitement. Things are progressing well for us and we are beginning to feel like we are the national team, churning out some of the best skydives during our training sessions last weekend.
Even though the forecast for last weekend was miserable, we ended up doing 12 jumps on the Saturday and 6 on the Sunday. There is certainly still much to be done, but we are confident that we'll put on a good show in three weeks time.
We will also be getting our new team canopies over the next few days for us to play with, in time for the World Championship, so we're gonna look so damn good that the whole world shall tremble in fear.

17-DEC-2007

The new Fusion line-up flew together for the first time over the weekend at Airkix, setting the pace for the demanding training schedule ahead. All of us had a bit of a break since the end of the season, and i was certainly a bit stiff for a couple days. With the Christmas break coming up, where one tends to get fat from the festive feasting, we have quite a bit of work cut out for us to stay fit for our first training camp at the end of january. I think we flew well together, given that most of us weren't terribly current and tunnel fit. We did mostly randoms and random blocks to get our heads in the game. Henry did OK on his elephant 7s, but certainly could be improved, and his helmet blew up when his face collided with laura's knee. Amidst the panic, we managed to borrow a helmet from the very kind john carter. Thanks dude!! Otherwise, Protec, it would have had to be.
