Fastrax Blue just completed a 3 hour tunnel training camp in Raeford, North Carolina. With the help of rig-covers, Blue was able to train with all their skydiving gear in the tunnel, making for a much more challenging camp. The XP tunnel is 16ft. wide, leaving plenty of space for me to hop in with the team and take some pictures. (This camp was also featured on the PD Blog). |

The Perris drop zone decided to spice up the appearance of their team
rooms by applying a building wrap. It consists of many different
skydiving pictures, which show off the local jumpers and their
equipment. |

On Saturday, 6/21/08, Rick "Shindig" Schindler passed away at Skydive Elsinore. Shindig was a 39 year old Marine Corps veteran, who worked part time at Skydive Elsinore as an AFF instructor, Tandem Master, and videographer. He was also a sheriff's deputy, stationed at the Southwest Detention Center in French Valley. Shindig was a very experienced jumper and extremely current. Shindig learned how to jump in Fort Bragg, N.C. Fifteen years later he had accumulated several thousand jumps. A resident of Lake Elsinore, Shindig shot video as a member of various skydiving teams. |

He also shot video for Elsinore Matrix and Elsinore Select, the U.S. women's team in 2006. For a man who loved skydiving, he hated flying. He included this
statement in his biography: "I don't feel safe until I jump out of the
damn thing and I only have 1 life left of my nine." |
