The Dubai Parachuting Championships and Gulf Cup 2010, Day 2

Day two started with Breakfast at 06:30 (everything you needed to keep you going till 13:00) then on the buses and at the DZ for 08:00. First loads up were the last swoop practice round for the swoop guys (and Nina:-) to get their eye in for tomorrows "real" 1st round of distance.

Because the view is so breathtaking from the top, their had been some talk about forgetting the swoop comp and instead taking turns in building 4 stacks with their velo’s so three of them could just enjoy the view ( FYI on the top of the stack the guy/girl can control all canopies)! Guess we will have to wait till the morning to find out :-)

With the practice swoop jumps out of the way, the classic accuaracy competition took over with the dead center buzzer ring over and over again ( for latest results click )! In the afternoon the winds picked up and it was decieded to put the classics on hold and get the 4 way practice jumps finished off and if their was time get started with the 4 way!
