USA National Freefly Team "SoCal Converge" hosted the May California Freefly record camp at Skydive Elsinore. Over 40 participants attended the three day event. Friday started with two separate and smaller 20 way groups, with people refining their skills. Drills included recognition of individual sight pictures, levels, and no grip slot flying. Great emphasis was placed on safety, especially during break off and canopy skills. On Sunday the groups combined to create formation loads, working on flying a 40 way. Throughout the weekend everyone showed great discipline and skill, exciting the organizers and confirming that their goal of a state record of 54+ people is possible.

Radar Online Production

Carlos Alazraqui of the hit show Reno 911 was at Skydive Elsinore to promote many of his upcoming works.

In conjunction with Hollywood Bubble and RadarOnline.com, Ruben Garay, writer and director, came up with a short action comedy that would allow Carlos to promote his new media releases in a fun and interesting way. Carlos has been skydiving for over 15 years, and showed off his skills while jumping several different costumes.

Being implemented as the aerial cimematographer, I got the chance to try and flex my artistic muscle in the sky. I also had a bit part where I acted as a stunt double for Ruben Garay during a swoop scene where Carlos gets unexpectedly attacked. Brianne Thompson of Spaceland Blue was also part of the production, acting as a stunt double for actress Drea Castro.

AXIS Flight School supervised the production by acting as a consultant and safety advisor.
