CF Spektakel

As of 1995, the CF Spektakel has been organised by CReW-dogs from (first ) Belgium and Holland. In ten years, more than 100 people visited the event.

After 2005, the CF Spektakel seemed to be dead, but in 2007, a new, and more serious CF Spektakel was organized at the Dutch National Skydiving Center @Teuge, and used as selection camp for the 100-way CF-record attempt in Lake Wales (november)

Chris Gay, Brain Pangburn and Christoph Balisky were there to fly and watch, and myself and Pam Pangburn were available for video.

We made a lot of jumps, on saturday even 11 loads with complete (1-2-points) 17 ways. For the people that like smaller formations, Tom, Danny and Eric were available as coaches to make 2, 3 and 4 ways.
3 cut-a-ways in total yes, this is CRW...) buta lso smooth docking, fun and beer :-)

The CF Spektakel 2004 was held between Saturday the 3rd and Sunday the 11th of July. Some 40 participants from different countries participated, and had lots of fun in more than 700 jumps in total!.
This year the load-organizing, coaching and video was mainly in the hands of the members of the Dutch sequential team 'Alles Komt Goed', and with the help of the people at the Teuge DZ (with a special thanks to the manifest) the 'spectacular event' was indeed spectacular :-)

History of the Spektakel
The CF Spektakel started in 1997 as a Belgium-dutch initiative to offer a unique possibility to participate in CReW formations (also called CF: Canopy Formation).
For a beginner, this is THE place to start. A lot of knowledge and experienced is centered in one place, at one DZ and in 1 week.
And if you are an experienced CReW-Dog, this is THE chance to do things you can not do on others day's of the year. Coaches, numerous other CReW-Dogs, lift capacity, team training possibilities and getting into big formations!
