Roger Warren Nelson〔"(Sky diver faces drug charges )." ''The Bulletin''. Wednesday May 21, 1986. ''Google News'' 6 of 22. A11. Retrieved on January 8, 2010.〕 (October 25, 1955 – June 7, 2003) was a skydiver and founder of Skydive Chicago, one of the USA's largest skydiving centers. ==Freak Brothers== Roger and his older brother, Carl Nelson, grew up in the small town of Lisle, Illinois. They began their skydiving careers in 1971 as novice parachutists at a drop-zone surrounded by cornfields in Hinckley, Illinois. At the time, relative work (RW) or formation skydiving was in its infancy. Carl and Roger Nelson, unlike most skydivers at the time, were not ex-military and had the '70s hippie look, with long hair and grubby clothes. They became known as the ''Freak Brothers''. The name stuck. A form of flying that they later popularized (anything that was not belly to earth) became known as ''freak-flying''—eventually morphing into freeflying. The Freak Brothers became an inclusive organization for skydivers, with thousands of ''Freak Brothers'' world wide. Roger, his wife Jeannie and Carl organised the first large skydiving boogies in the form of the annual Freak Brothers Convention, which was later superseded by the World FreeFall Convention. Carl, an accomplished skydiver with over 1,000 jumps, died in a skydiving accident in 1979.
