It took 4 jumps and it came at sunset time in front of a big crowd. Basically perfect timing! 80-way over Empuriabrava, simply amazing!

Every two years Babylon organizes an event that turns always magic, it's called Freefly Eurorecord. It takes almost one year of preparation in term of logistic and 50 seconds to make it happen. And in those 50 seconds, people achieve a high goal "simply" gripping the hand of the free flyers next to them.
The magic comes when all are united into one: after the last diver closes the formation, a kind of energy is released thru the hands and everybody can feel it. It's not something that you can really explain by words, people simply knows that it's done and they are flying the record. And like every record , also this 80-way has its own personality: it was sunset time, it was lightly cloudy around the exit altitude, the aircraft had a perfect set up, the base had a very good exit and all the other skydivers dived fast and took their slot accurately. The formation closed after 46 seconds and flew for 6 seconds very solid.

Thanks to all the european Rock 'n Rolla!
