Dale Elliot (Extreme Roller)

So, last year at the APF conference in Beautiful Brisbane, I had the good fortune to meet Dale Elliott. Safe to say we clicked, and we have been in regular contact ever since. Dale is sponsored by Deepseed, and is a bit of an inspiration to us all here. Anyway, the crazy man is at it again...never content to sit on his arse (mind you, he hasn't got much choice about that) Dale is once again out living life to the max and giving back with the enthusiasm that puts most able bodied people to shame!!....You can read all about Dale's latest adventure on his blog or by clicking on www.extremerolling.com. To help out in our own small way, we designed up a T-shirt for Dale and his mate Andreas to commemorate the event. We are selling this T-shirt, and all proceeds will be going to Dale and Andreas' cause, which is helping Kids with Clubfoot in Africa.

It only costs $200 to give a child with clubfoot the operation it needs to allow them to walk, and at $50 per T-shirt, you can get yourself a cool commemorative T, and Help be part of making a child walk...Times are tough, but when you stop and think about people like Dale, who can't walk, and the life that these kids in Africa have, then it makes missing out on 2 x chinese take-aways, suddenly not such a big deal!!!! seriously, it's only $50!!!

if you want to help and BUY A T-SHIRT...then just click on the link here and tell us how many and what size!! We will call you back for your CCard details!!

This is the reply we received when we asked a valued customer how his Deepseed jumpsuit was holding up after 6 months of jumping.......

I headed to the dropzone one very windy day... not many people were jumping, only tandems really going up, and 100 jump limit placed on all loads due to the wind. Having over 100 jumps I decided to chance it... first jump successful. I remember waiting for my next load and laughing at one guy landing backwards due to the strong wind. Second jump... outlanding.... and to cut a long story short I found myself heading very fast downwind towards a line of trees... amature object fixation at it best! I dont actually remember hitting the ground, but I remember landing short about a metre from being grated through the trees. I regained conciousness shortly before the paramedics arrived, and as they attended to my leg I remember one of them saying "We are going to have to cut your jumpsuit off to get to your leg". I sat up instantly cursing... "Don't touch my fukcing jumpsuit, I just paid 250 pounds for this jumpsuit" After a bit of arguing they agreed to pull it off... it was worth the pain :)

End result was broken right femur, which now has a big pin through it :( So it looks like a lot of physio & tunnel training ahead before I get back in the air...

So to answer your questions below:

Has your Freefly Suit performed as you would have hoped and do you feel we have lived up to your expectations? Yes, from what I remember it performed as I had hoped in the air... what I can commend you on is that it can take an extremelly high speed imapct really well... baring a few grass stains... barely a scratch on it!!

Were you pleased overall with the service you got from us? Yes, no complaints... job well done :) Keep up the good work.

If you have a crazy, funny or painful story about how your Deepseed suit held up to the rigors of freefall, hooking it in or efficient paramedics bent on saving your life, flick us an email: marketing@deepseed.com!
