The NSL News had visited Palatka in January this year (story on 16 January 2011) and reported activities of the Falling Gators who are mostly young skydivers relatively new in the sport. They study at the University of Florida in Gainesville and have made Skydive Palatka their home on most of the weekends.
This weekend's Collegiate Boogie is the biggest event of the Falling Gators, and it takes place next to the usual activities of a skydiving center on a weekend. The NSL Reality TV clip shows scenes on Sunday and visitors for the weekend.
The clip begins with a welcome introduction by the President of the Falling Gators Skydiving Club, Julia Loeb, together with her Vice President Melissa Garcia. They were happy with this year's event and explained why it is always a slow start on Sunday morning...
The NSL News also met Greg Lennartz who came down from Georgia to join the Falling Gators fun in Palatka. He trained and competed with GT Wreckless who won the NSL A Class gold medals at the NSL Championship 2010 and then attended the USPA Collegiates. He brought two Wreckless team mates to Palatka this weekend.
Alex Bittner, former president of the parachuting club to be at the Stetson University in DeLand, had great news, as well. Stetson is ready to accept the club's bid to be fully recognized as a college club. The NSL News will also follow up on this topic.
Last not least, the NSL News met next door neighbours Lara Kjeldsen and Kolla Kolbeinsdottir who were working hard in the blasting sun to prepare the Blue Skies Mag audience for the next edition of the magazine. It has a lot to do with wind, a lot of wind...
