June 2009 Summer has officially started! However, the weather isn't cooperating. The Skydive Chicago Furies XP hosted the New Wave Boogie. Despite the gloomy weather forecast, several hardy jumpers joined us for a great weekend! Saturday, when the clouds finally parted, Tom, Aga, Eric, Kati, and Ellen, made several jumps with Karyn and Anabel, working on vertical adjustments, levels, turning in place, proximity to the formation, and exit technique. Although Sunday started out grey and overcast, team JetStream Tango took advantage of our time on the ground to work on dive engineering, exit lineups, and creeping. Thanks to all who came out. It was a blast jumping with you! Thanks also to Henrik and Johnny for providing video, and to our lovely ladies in manifest, as always!
May 2009 April showers definitely brought May flowers!!! The Skydive Chicago Furies XP started the month with a 3-day training weekend at SDC with their coach, Brian Johnson. Memorial weekend was a blast! The girls trained on Friday and Saturday at SDC with Brian. For the first time in many years, the weather was beautiful and jump-able all weekend. For the last weekend of the month, the team traveled to the Paraclete XP tunnel in Raeford, NC for more training. It was good to see some familiar faces from SDC!
April 2009 The Skydive Chicago Furies XP announce a new line-up for the 2009 season!!!
