First Training @ Cerfontaine

From 30th of May till the 1st of June 2009 we had our first 4XTTHUNDER training weekend on our home dropzone Cerfontaine!
Everybody is recoverd again, the weather was beautiful, the vibes were good, what more can you wish for! After 3 days of training we made 29 great jumps!

Before we started jumping again, we went to the wind tunnel twice that week. After waiting for months, everybody was more than just enthousiastic to start again. But first we had to check if Jacco's shoulder could cope with our 'moves'. We made a calm start, did some randoms, turned some blocks... and yes, his shoulder had almost completely recoverd! We were ready for our first jumps at our home dropzone!

In total we made 29 really good skydives! We were very satisfied with our exits. They went great, everyone of them! We didn't do every exit because of Jacco's his 'hang arm', but that didn't stop us from having fun and some really good skydives! The blocks went great and we almost trained every random and block up there. It feels great to be back!

Phantom Force is also back in the race and with a new line up. They also made their first training jumps! Tom, Bart and Cindy did everything possible to run the organisationn smoothly for the teams, students, tandems and all other skydivers. And they did a great job! We want to thank them to make all of this possible. Super!

We had a great weekend and we can't wait to come back for more. First we are going to train in the wind tunnel again for 3 times and than were back for training from 14th til 24th of July. We planned to jump for 10 days with our coach Thomas Hughes, who flies from the States to Cerfontaine! Hopefully we will have just as many terrific days as we did last weekend. In one word it was: AWESOME!
