This was supposed to have been a relaxed four-way dock. We dirt dived as such. Justin changed his mind at some point and attempted to do scary rolls. Scary Rolls don't work so well on someone who doesn't want to be rolled.

Requiem for a Wingsuiter
On November 11, 2009, the wingsuiting community lost one of its greatest and most unsung contributors. Earlier in the day, Steve Harrington had joined with dozens of other wingsuiters to set the US record for largest flock: a 68-way slot perfect design. On the last load of the day – a fun jump to celebrate that success – tragedy occurred when he struck the tail of the aircraft on exit.
Steve started skydiving in 1991, when he first went through AFF on a whim with his twin brother. Steve continued on in the skydiving world, when his twin drifted out of the sport. Despite his love for jumping, over time, his skydiving started to decrease. “I hadn’t made a lot of jumps in the preceding five or six years due to work commitments, recovery from a skiing accident, buying new home, and getting married,” he once remarked. All that turned around when he discovered wingsuiting. “Wingsuiting made me realize what I was missing; it just made me feel alive again,” he said. Steve co-founded Flock University because he loved wingsuiting and wanted to share that love and enthusiasm with other skydivers. That effort was just another manifestation of his quiet and unassuming – but consistently friendly and positive – manner. He was “one of those jumpers that you looked forward to seeing on the plane every time,” a friend wrote. “He always had a warm smile, welcoming attitude, and a keen eye for jumper safety.”
Steve was a trailblazer both in the sky and in his personal life. Steve married his partner, Adam, in one of the first same-sex marriages conducted following its legalization in Massachusetts. “My spouse is now in medical school – I guess that makes us a ‘power couple’ – a doctor and business professional”, Steve once joked.
He often remarked that skydiving has made him a more “complete” and “confident” person. “Friends at work always ask me about recent jumps and travels,” he once said. “They say their lives are boring in comparison, and they’re jealous... But they also say they are jealous that I am not tied down to a nagging wife,” he added with a smile.
A friend wrote, “Steve was always in a good mood, always positive – he lived his life the way he wanted to. He was a true and genuine human being. He was part of the reason we had so much fun jumping our wingsuits.” Another commented, “He touched many lives... We are all truly honored who got to share the air with him. He will not be forgotten...”
All of us at Flock University mourn Steve’s loss, and we all extend our deep condolences to Adam and Steve’s family.
Blue Skies, Steve... Fly free.

Next, they critique 4 new shorts: an underground music video, an insane crazy-dangerous wing-suit base jumping, and Trash the Dress Bridal: a couture video highlighting a bride rolling in the sea. The webisode ends with a critique on "A Short Love Story in Stop Motion," one of the most viewed videos on Vimeo.Check it out!

Friday, November 6, brought a steady flow of wingsuiters to Lake Elsinore, with every color and brand possible represented. From as far away as Finland, Russia, the UK, South America, Italy, and many other countries represented, this is truly an international event. Flocks could be seen from the ground of various sizes, including a 16 way formation. All in all, it’s been a wingsuit day, even with the large number of British Royal Engineers on the grounds for their AFF and license instruction.
Both Otters were flying at times, and loads are turning fast. Packers on the mat packing furiously, it makes me wonder what’s going to happen when the wingsuit event gets going for real on Monday.
Gilead prepares for his first wingsuit jump at Lake Elsinore
Gilead I, of Tel Aviv, Israel, did his First Flight Course today, and did exceptionally well. It was surprising to see him in immediate control of fall rate and navigation. On his second jump, he was able to dock and punch the suit hard and far.
Gilead flies a wingsuit for the first time.
On a personal note, I truly feel like I’ve arrived back in the world of wingsuiting. Justin Shorb, Scott Callantine, and Andreea Olea (some of my closest wingsuiting friends) did a four way jump with me, with Michal flying video above us. Justin and I twice took docks, but a rapid spin started with both.
The real fun came when break off occurred and we realized we were more than two miles south of the dropzone. We all punched it out hard towards the DZ, only to realize there was simply no way we were going to make it back. The four of us landed in a football field where young men were practicing their game. Scott, Justin, and I all put down on the 50 yard line; Scott swooped from the end zone to the 50. Andrea put it down smoothly on the 30 yard line. We laughed like kids as we gathered up our canopies, and a couple passers-by picked us up in the parking lot for the drive back to the DZ.
Landing on the 50 yard line of the local football field.
What great fun it was, and being with these close friends meant the world to me. It’s still a deep concern being on the healing road and skydiving, but I wouldn’t trade this moment for anything in the world.
We finished the night with a group of us discussing the grid method of measurement for records vs other more ambitious and less creatively controlled methods of flying, where skydivers decide their spacing vs a drawn square. Thinking “outside the box” has a potential for breaking the infant gridlock that we’re currently experiencing as a community. More on this topic later.
It was a great day, a great time on the Elsinore dropzone. And an even better day landing on the 50 yard line of the local high school.
My first wingsuit photography book is now available. Call it a coffee table book or a photobook, if you prefer. Years in the making, it includes a collection of my favorite photos taken from 2006 through 2009.
Inside, you will find over 100 full color photos on pages measuring 8x10 inches. Eye candy includes cloudscapes from Florida and Texas, sunsets from all over, tropical blue-green ocean glimpses from Puerto Rico and the Florida Keys, deployments, exits, and wingsuit formations from popular events at Zephyrhills, Pepperell, Elsinore, etc.
