Baffin Island BASE Expedition

Baffin Island, Canada

The month-long Baffin Island BASE Expedition is on right now! Check out that link for a lot of cool information, including an up-to-date blog, mission info, team member profiles and photos and videos from the last trip to the island in 2008.

The team includes some pretty big names in the BASE world, including the PD Factory Team’s own Jay Moledzki. We were also really psyched to see so many chicks on the team. Yay, chicks!

Good luck to the whole expedition!

Extreme Curry Eating

Jump 4 Heroes

Jump4Heroes are just back from BASE jumping in Switzerland. Supporting The Soldiers’ Charity they did some proximity flying and some extreme curry eating. Similar to the extreme ironing board concept where people take an ironing board to all kind of weird and extreme places, the gauntlet has been laid down for extreme curry eating.  The Charity is looking for people to do better so, if you think you’re up for the challenge, then send them your pictures or video.

See the TV interview below and a short edit of the jumps below that.

Wounded Warriors jumping in DeLand, FL

This weekend a group of pretty special people will be descending upon DeLand, Florida as a part of the Defending Freedom Wounded Warrior Weekend (go ahead and say that five times fast!).
This gathering is a part of the bigger Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) which is a project that seeks to assist American soldiers that have been severely injured in the line of duty in either Iraq, Afghanistan or other locations around the world.

Complete Parachute Solutions (CPS) is coordinating the event, with the support of many skydiving companies and local businesses.  This is the 4th annual event and this time around 34 wounded warriors are attending. Quite a few of them will have the opportunity to make a jump at Skydive DeLand on Friday – and then those that are so inclined will be playing in a golf tournament on Saturday.
More information can be found on a website dedicated to the event or on the Facebook fan page.
