This past weekend was arguably one of the best ones we've had all season. With perfect weather, night jumps, high-altitude jumps, balloon jumps, a great cookout, and non-stop Super Otter loads flying - it simply doesn't get any better. I am honored to be part of a staff that has gone from scrambling to get 75 tandem students up by sunset in years past to a confident team that can pump out 120+ first-timers by 5:30pm and still have the energy to fun jump at the end of the day. To be able to keep this kind of pace day in and day out is truly a testament to the team we have in place. Thanks for all of your hard work! Things don't appear to be slowing down anytime soon - we have another 230 students scheduled for this weekend!

The Ad Truck was in the City all weekend for the Chicago Air & Water Show. Did you see Bill Murray land on North Avenue Beach? Check it out. Nothing against our nation's armed forces, but their video doesn't hold a candle to the videos coming out of Nathan's concession!
TD decided to drop into his own picnic on Sunday evening. He asked me to come along and I politely declined. Note the downhill slope towards the power lines. As always, he makes it look easy!
Tomorrow marks the start of another CSC Rhythm training camp. They will be training every weekend for the next 4 weeks. We will be flying from 9:00am to sunset tomorrow. For anyone looking to ditch out of work, we're offering 5 jumps for just $100 (experienced jumpers only). Below is a video recap of the last Team-For-A-Day hosted by Rhythm.
There will be live music Saturday night around the bonfire.
Don't forget that we are still offering free vehicle wraps for anyone who is interested in promoting CSC. You can pick out your own picture or we can design it for you. Once the design is done, our friends over at Naperville Signs By Tomorrow will take care of the rest. Contact customercare@PROskydiving.com for details.
