Blue Skies // David & Hella

work and skydiving!

Sorry all, we havent been writing much lately. 

We are both very busy at the moment. There´s a lot of planning and researching for the future and a lot of exciting stuff going on that you soon will get to know more about! I can tell you some of it, but only some ;)

Much work is related to our new website that finally will be released in a near time! It will kick ass!

Travels are getting closer. We might go to Kilimanjaro soon, Hella is of to China in october for two wingwalking shows and will from there meet up with a friend for going home by the trans-siberian railway. We will make a stop in Mongolia and at Lake Baykal in Russia. If you traveled this trip, please give us  your best advices! :)

I really want to tell you so much more..... but it will come, promise!

Since the weather has been awesome in Sweden until now, skydiving season been very good so far!

Here is one of the few pics I took when Stockholm Skydive landed at a Tractorpulling show.

Well done and thanks for participating, both jumpers and staff!

Sweetliving was there all day to talk skydiving and about our fab skydive club!

Lots of love, Hella

Downhill bicycling

A weekend at Åre (Sweden) with two days of rough downhill bicycling is a thrill! I went with my friend Isac, who´s done this before. For me it was my first time ever. And it showed, haha! Isac went like a pro and I did my best control the bike over rough ground, steep downhills, over jumps, sharp turns... High up the mountain its lots of stones and rocks, further down, more forest and easier ground.

Partly I think it went quite well and I got some nice flow, partly I rode like shit and fell or slided of the tracks. I did a few hard crashes when i tried to go a bit faster or push of a jump a bit more... So today Im really bruses and sore on my legs, and got a cut in my forehead that probably will stay there always as a scar of memory. So at least I tried and didnt give up, haha :)

When you get that flow in it and starting to get a feeling of it its soooo coooool!

I do recommend to try this, but dont expect it to be easy ;) I´ll do it again! But get some extra protection for my thighs...... Keep it sweet! /Hella

more tandemjumps!

On monday our friend Ragnar (or more know as Ragge) did his first tandem skydive! The weather couldnt be better and Hella jumped with to them and took some photos. Ragge loved it and we are so happy you came and jumped with us! Skydive is the shit! :D

Thank you, hope to see you here again soon!

Wingwalking day!

Tuesday was a great day!

I(Hella)am wingwalker for Scandinavian Airshow since 2007, and its one of the best thing ever happent to me, when I was asked to join the team!

Now I supervised three new girls on the wing. I did 8 flights, 6 of them was with the new girls who did 2 each. They did a very good job! First flight was mostly crusing and trying all positions, the second round we did the hole show with loops and barrel rolls.  Its such a cool feeling to be upside down on the wing of an airplane! Our airplane called ´Catwalk´ has 450 hp! The Catwalk is a Grumman G 164A Ag-cat from 1973, and now specially modified for wingwalking. Follow this link to read more about Scandinavian Airshow!

Thank you Martin Eidensten/www.meibe.se for the photo!

Back from FKCG and Nordic 8 FF Camp I (Hella) continued with next ff camp at my home dropzone at Gryttjom. I had a bit of luck to join for a couple of days, Thank you Tilda for giving me a couple of days and thanks to Andreas who let me join even I didnt had as high skills as the rest of the participants ;)

It felt a bit weird to sit there next to world campions in freestyle: Hekla for Finland! Of course we practised on different stuff, buuuuut... ;) Nice to meet you both, great to hear your story and see the videos of your jump! Epic!  :)

Most of monday and tuesday rained away but the jumps we did was AWESOME! Thank you Petter for great coaching! I improved my steep track and back tracking a lot!

Instead of doing one-to-one coaching we jumped in groups and did only shorter briefing between the jumps to jump as much as possible. Good thinking, Well organized!

Now I'm back in Uppsala for a meeting with one of our first trip/adventure writer about Tanzania and Kilimajaro we´re we will go in september. And very soon it will be up on our new designed website! Keep your eyes open, 'cause soon we´ll really be rocking on the web as we do on ground... or in the sky! ;) I also want to give a hint 'bout the midsummer boogie at EDZ next week, you want to read about that! Promise!

Blue skies! Love, Hella

Sweetliving goes Nordic 8 FreeFly Camp

We packed our bags and our rigs and went down to Vårgårda DZ, near Gothenburg to participate at Nordic 8 FreeFly Camp for a  week. Both me and Hella want to be better freeflyers. I want o increase my skills as a cameraman and Hella will compete in the Swedish Championship in August so she and Kalle needs to practise a bit.

When the wheather was bad we had to come up with other things to do. Here´s Håvard from Skywalkers, Norway, holding a seminar about FreeFlying, awsome!

The weather in Vårgårda failed us so we loaded up the plane and went to FKCG:s other dropzone, Näsinge, where the sun always shines, almost anyway ;-) Just a couple of miles from the Norwegian border. A very beautiful place!
