In October Alison headed off to Madrid to take part in her first Chick Jam at the Hurricane Factory wind tunnel. The Bradley twins did a great job of making sure all the chicks had a lot of fun in the tunnel, with rodeos, limbo, wall walking and Spiderman type antics in addition to traditional FS and FF. They also acted as excellent tour guides and managed to fit all 11 chicks into some lovely eateries. The trip happened to coincide with the National Fiesta Day of Spain, so a fly-past of helicopters was an additional treat, however, the parachutist landing with the Spanish flag, who got hooked up on a streetlight, didn’t have such a good day.
Meanwhile, two of us went to learn head down with Ryan Arkle at Hurricane Factory in Slovakia, which offers wonderful views while flying and a nearby water park which was definitely not peed in…
There’s not much to tell unfortunately as the weather has been awful recently. The jumps we did were very cold. Fingers crossed for better weather in the new year so that we can make the most of our loyalty scheme!
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for upcoming events such as the Christmas Party. The winter shut down period is from December 15, 2019, to February 8, 2020.
