California !

The two weeks in California were a blast ! Let's have a little look back at it.

My skydiving school organized a trip to Perris Valley, California this year. I thought I would be a good thing for me to go there and train on my new wingsuit. Skydiving is not the best place to work on performances but the best environment to play and get comfortable with a suit. 

We flew to Los Angeles and drove a few hours to get to Skydive Perris. The place was a bit lost but a nice friendly and welcoming dropzone. I meet there Josh and Darren the wingsuit load organizers. We had a lot of fun chasing each other and flocking in the sky. I made around 55 skydives on this trip. A few of them were also tracking jumps and funny RW jumps with friends from my club.

We had a few too windy days so we could have a quick road trip to San Diego and Oceanside. This part of the coast is amazing. I really felt like in a movie, surfers and great beaches all the way. We also spent the last day in LA. We had to take our plane in the end of the afternoon so it was a really fast visit on Hollywood Blvd and Venice beach.

Back home, we could make two jumps in Sans Bet last week. I was feeling much better in my suit. The USA trip was definitely worth it ! In another hand the weather sucks right now around Geneva. The snow is back in the mountains and there is so much wind. I hope for a better weather next week and I will send a few days around Samöens. 

I also had a nice invitation last week. I will participate the the Tallinn TV Tower Boogie this year. I've never been in Estonia so I'm really looking forward for it !


To end this article here is a short video form a local TV. They followed my friends Bras Noir, Pierre F. , Jean-Mi and myself for a jump in Magland just before I left for the USA. The result is really nice !
