The fourth day of Parasummer 2005 has brought us 23 loads, some 390 jumps, and one fine two-point 16-way arranged by Markku Teivainen. Finland entered the reserve ride contest with one cutaway.

At this very moment, Rokiosakond, the band of Skydive Estonia, rocks us all into the evening, and Parasiil's daily video is coming soon.

Half of the boogie is still ahead.

Day three: stats

On her 600th jump, Kiku made a 11-way jump and got severe line twists. So she jettisoned her lovely black Velocity and landed under a reserve parachute for the fifth time in her life, taking Estonia to the leading position on the reserve ride competition.

2005-07-11T09:41:00.000+03:00

The 11-year boy is the only member of this family who has never skydived. But this is going to change in about 15 minutes.

1 day, 18 loads, 314 jumps

2005-07-09T21:16:00.000+03:00

the first day of the boogie is (almost) over. in fact, the jumping is done for today, but the evening program -- sauna & stuff -- is just about to begin. everything has been going smoothly, and as the weather forecast continues to be promising, we expect even better days to come.

Tomorrow, this place will be full of jumpers willing to get their gear checked and be manifested for the next load.
