Display Weekend in Far
North Queensland
Seven
display jumps in two days!! This is the third year running for
the Display Weekend organised by LDO Issy Dore. The idea
being to give novice and intermediate jumpers display experience:
Jumping into lots of different venues, and using it as an
educational experience to make jumpers more aware of spotting,
accuracy and working together as a team to show a positive face
to the public.
The first
day of jumps are into easier locations with each jump getting
progressively harder. The jumpers don't get to see the locations
before they jump in, but a thorough brief is given and a plan
made prior to each jump. The Sunday is for the showcase jumps
onto Dunk Island and Beaver Cay.
Unfortunately
the wind blew up on Sunday and it was too choppy to come back
from the Cay. A great jump into Dunk Island was followed by a
jump back into Castaways resort at Mission Beach.
A great
time had by all. Beautiful weather, good friends and great
visuals. Check out the Media Watch article below and on our
website HERE.
