Thanks Melissa Moore and Costica De la Iasi for joining us in our impromptu 2 on 2 camp last Thursday. It was Constantine's first 4-way and although we melted his brain with 15 new formations (and 2 blocks!) in 15 short minutes he survived and even came out smiling :) We had a lot of fun flying with you both and hope to do it again!

Thank you everyone for the wonderful season Swift had this year. We ended Nationals with a 12.6 average, which is a great improvement despite a shorter season. We want to say thank you for an amazing coach and friend Chris Farina who helped us excel. Special thanks to Alex Jordaan from SAVOLO Skydiving Team - South Africa who dropped all his plans to come to Nationals and do an amazing job as IC without a single training jump with us. We were also proud to work with Jim Stengell who did an excellent job on video a second year in a row. And thank you Tom Startz for video and Zucchini bread all season. (Both were excellent)
Chicagoland Skydiving Center and Douglas Smith, we would not be able to make it without your support. We are happy to be a part of the CSC family and looking forward for another great year!

We got to spend an awesome weekend in awesome weather at an awesome dropzone. CSC Home!
We were lucky enough to have Mikhail Markine here coaching, and we had the help of two fantastic videographers, Kevin Naftzger and Clinton Pearson!
Some exciting winds, one kind of fun land-off, a great rodeo jump, and a lot of trying new stuff. Photos courtesy of the artistic skill of Kevin Naftzger.
Amanda is back in a couple of weeks, having survived the P3 Big Ways, and we will be back with our coach Thomas Hughes, to get the gears turning on the season.
Hell Yeah!
