Did You Know...

... that a 3-point 104-way is the peak in DeLand so far?
   
    104-way over DeLand on Friday
posted Nov 16th, 2007 - Warmer temperatures, slower winds, better spot - the mixture was much better for the second jump of the Kaleidoscope Divers today. The result came instantly and was exciting for the 104 participants and three videographers.

The 5th and last effort using the first dive design ended up as a 3-point 104-way. The NSL News documented once again the whole jump, including preparations and boarding, the actual skydive and a few fresh impressions right after the landings. Gustavo Cabana provided the freefall footage of this jump.

The freefall videos of the Kaleidoscope Dives can be found at the SkyQuest website. Andrey Veselov from Russia, Gustavo Cabana from Argentine and Phil Roberson from the USA bring the freefall videos and images to the Kaleidoscope Divers and the NSL News audience.

The NSL News found 8-way world champion and 4-way member of France Maubeuge, Guillaume Bernier, with a few friends from France on the way to the boarding area before the second jump. He said that Florida is just as cold as France at the moment. The trip to DeLand and SkyQuest 2007 is a fun vacation for him.

His 8-way teammates Emmanuel Sarrazin and Clement Martin-Saint-Leon had just completed a similar French skydiving vacation at the USPA Nationals 2007 where they competed with French B-Team members in 8-way and 4-way.

Skydive DeLand's founder and owner Bob Hallett is still in his 25th year of skydiving operation in DeLand. He was in good spirits before and even happier after the second jump of the day, as the video shows. Solly Williams showed American colors on his new helmet and seemed to be well recovered after the celebrations the night before.

10-way legend Carl Daugherty was the first Kaleidoscope Diver who showed his excitement after a successful second jump today. Finally, Teiwaz member Bob Byrne confirmed that this was the best jump so far when he walked back to the packing area. However, he admitted that he is still more passionate about 4-way competition.
