Life in the wind. Floating in the gentle breeze,. I have ups and downs. Swept up in life’s current,. Along for the ride. You may not notice me,. I am one among many. My uniqueness, like no other,. Shines brightly in the day. Where the wind takes me,. Life in the wind,. I am a snow flake. April 20, 2011.

One early Saturday morning I was standing in front of the posted hand written winds aloft sheet next to manifest going through the numbers in my head figuring out where I should be leaping into the great blue sky to make it home and it hit me. This is repeatable mathematics and so many of us are walking around with smart phones, why not have the world of computers figure this out for us? Freefall drift is vastly different depending on the discipline and group size. A 4-way RW group will have a much d...

GoPro: Realization of a Snag Hazard. When it comes to skydivers wanting to slap a small format camera (GoPro) onto their body there are two statements that I hear far too often, either of which could have resulted in this incident being an injury or fatality. But it will just break off. I’ll just forget it’s there. Do you jump a GoPro? Have you ever said one of these lines? I invite you to pause for a moment and watch this video. 1) The GoPro mount did not break. Let that sink in for a minute. That might...

I had the pleasure of being interviewed for a skydiver profile. It’s not common for a camera person to see pictures of themselves, so it is with joy that I get to share some of my story with everyone. Enjoy the read! Jumptown.com – Skydiver Profile: Matt Veno.

I have to admit I’m having a lot of fun traveling to different dropzones, meeting new people, jumping new places, spreading the craziness! Last weekend a few of us dropped in on Skydive Long Island’s casa boogie, did I mention casa? The staff was great, huge landing area, and everyone was very inviting. They had a king air, caravan, casa, helo and beach jumps! I absolutley LOVED the beach jump, definitely have to do more of those! Oh and there’s a pretty good horse nearby too 😉. This weekend wingsuiters...

Winter play while the plane is away. Last season I was still an AFF student when the snow flakes flew and I could not imagine not skydiving all winter, but this time around I decided to have fun and embrace the snow and get back into skiing! 2009 165cm Fischer RX8’s. December 22, 2009.
