As daytime temperatures rose to practically 100 degrees at the 2nd Yearly Midwest Night Fly Festival on August 23, 2014, it was only fitting that the action on the water was just as sizzling. With thousands of spectators lining the shores of Creve Coeur Lake in St. Louis, Missouri, the skiers have been ready to fly under the cover of darkness.

Near to four,000 supporters had been in attendance more than the course of the day. John Burris Alex King John Burris Claudio Kostenberger Benjamin Leutz - Boys 3 National Leap Champion.

“Once the sun started out going down and the crowd actually started out to construct, the anticipation and the pleasure that I felt as a skier it just truly acquired me going. I was acquiring thrilled and I needed to do my ideal to add to the show and participate with the crowd and make sure that they had a great time,” says Burris, “My impression of the event was that it was very first class, just like last 12 months.”

There was nothing at all but good vibes all day extended at the 2014 Midwest Evening Fly, as the occasion had some thing for every person from sunup to well past sundown.
