Chile:

While the rest of you were stuffing yourselves with turkey and pumpkin pie, I decided to go skydiving down south, where it’s still warm. Way down south. I went to South America and made a few jumps in Pucon, Chile, a town in the shadow of an active volcano. Here’s a video I took of myself jumping over Pucon. See if you can spot the snow-capped volcano in the background.

Chili:

We’re going skydiving this weekend, and Saturday is the annual chili party. We’ll be jumping all day (and the weather for Saturday looks good) and then hanging around for a chili cook-off at the dropzone. You can come to cook, to judge, or just to eat, but after a day of cold weather jumping, a bowl of spicy chili hits the spot. If you’d like to come jump and eat some tasty chili, let me know.

Falling Illini Charley Kurlinkus recently got a Birdman wing suit. These are videos of his wing suit training jumps.
