Supposedly, it only rains a few days a year in Dubai and last night and today are 2 of them! This morning, I didn't expect to jump at all, but slowly the weather has improved. The first jumps for the Canopy Piloting competitors have taken place and it begins with the speed event. The dropzone has just gone on a temporary hold again, but with approximately half the swoopers jumped, Smudge is in 2nd place with a fantastic 3.1 seconds.
The 8-way and Speed Skydiving teams have also been manifested and I think it won't be long before jumping resumes.
Even though the competiton has been running since yesterday morning, tonight sees the fantastic opening ceremony planned. There will be magic carpets actually flying and an amazing catapult where 2 jumpers will experience up to 6g's in force as they are propelled to around 500ft - scary stuff.
