Scandinavian Easter Camp

My Team

I have arrived in Perris, and met my entire team. I'll give you guys a quick presentation. From top down we have:

Camera: Meili Modini.
Meili is 44 years old, but looks like she is 26. So far I have only met her once, but the others tells me that she is great in every way. She is a very social girl, and has a big beautiful smile. She is also the only awesome freeflyer among us


Point: Kjetil Nordin
I am the newest addition to the team, and am in the process of moving to Perris. I have just finished a season on the Norwegian national team, which unfortunately was dissolved. Fortunately I got this great Project now, and it seems extremely promising. Basicly, I really enjoy getting to know my new team mates, and Chris Farina from Perris Fury seems to be an awesome coach.

Front Center: Flemming Borup Andersen
Flemming is basicly the founder of this team. He is a hard working, extremely dedicated skydiver. He has military background, which makes him organized, and a really good team player. He is currently in his third season on the Danish national team.


Rear Center: Kristina Louise Peterson
Kristina is the rear center, and thereby the one in charge of the rythm and temp of the team. She likes dogs, sleep, sushi and great skydives. Kris has been jumping on several different teams before out team, such as sebastian tempest, and the national female USA team for the world meet in Gera in 2006.

Tail: Kevin Dalton
I still do not know to much about Kevin, as he doesn't talk to much about himself. Don't get me wrong, he's not shy, he just doesn't care existentionally. I know he jumped on Quattro last season, has jumped 4-way for 3-4 years, and has a killer eye contact.



Coach: Chris Farina
Chris is the current rear center of Perris Fury, probably the best random team in the world, and definitely one of the best teams worldwide in total also. He speaks just as fast as David Sawyer at the Bedford tunnel, and got more experience and authority per foot then any other skydiver I've met. I am very much looking forward to cooperating with him this season.

That concludes the team for now. Let's get good, guys.

Arriving in California

Well, my plan of writing a diary didn't quite follow up. But here is at least a report from an excited traveller. Things have happened really fast since I last wrote. A week ago I recieved message that my try outs had been upgraded to a training camp. So instead of five days, I am now staying three weeks. In addition I have put my appartement out for sale, so this is really a cross road for me.

My trip progressed without any trouble, and I was able to find my new Inside Center, Kristina Peterson, without any trouble. We drove to Skydive Perris, and my first impression is GREAT. It looks big, structured, clean and effective. And they've got a pool on site. As I just enjoyed the Californian winter (eq. Norwegian summer), I got the strongest urge to jump. The weather forecast says 70-75 degrees all week long, and though I have not calculated that into celsius, I am pretty sure that it is a comfortable forecast. I also found Erin Murphy on site, and found out that she is working here. Erin was training by our side in spaceland last year, with her team Spaceland Blue.

Now I am staying at Dan Cook, and his son Ryan. They live somewhere southeast of Perris i think. Their Condo is absolutely lovely, and I finally had my first good nights sleep in over a week. Thogh, not before I went to an AA-meeting with Ryan. Don't ask. Long story, but it was indeed interesting. I have some video from my trip as well. I'll post in not too long.

Today I am goig to the DZ, hopefully I'll meet Kevin and Flemming, and also Dan BC, maybe Chris Farina and the rest of Fury.

I'll keep up posting.
