Jimbo 0 #3 July 31, 2002 Does Eloy generally not allow the public and other spectators onto the dropzone? - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hobbes4star 0 #4 July 31, 2002 Eloy does have have a spectator area. i have never heard of them not letting people watch..if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #5 July 31, 2002 I know at one of the last attempts people had to pay to watch, I'm thinking I need a fall/winter trip and getting to see the 300's would be a cool thing, but not if I have to pay to see it. Also the anouncement was in this months Parachutist that its no longer in Brazil. I read they are trying to get like 12 Otters for this attempt.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjasantos 0 #6 July 31, 2002 Hi, It's true! 300-Way World Record attempt will be held at Skydive Arizona, Eloy, instead of Maceio, Brazil, from December 7-15, 2002. Check out the reasons for the change and for other updates (as well as participants list) at the 300-Way web site: [url] http://www.300-way.com/ Obviously the general public will be allowed to watch (there's no reason for the opposite), but I'm sure the place will be crowded (at least 300 for jumping)! Blue Skies! ----------------------------- Mario Santos Portugal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #7 July 31, 2002 As far as I know.....its just another day in Eloy. The location was changed as there were some "political issues" in the region. Will find out for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #8 July 31, 2002 I don't think they would make you pay if you jumped during the attempts. A 300 way can't be on every load and the DZ can't just shutdown while debriefs and dirt dives are going on. Go to Eloy, jump at Eloy, watch the 300 ways when they're up, repeat. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airgord 1 #9 July 31, 2002 The public is always allowed and are always welcomed at Skydive Arizona especially for the 300 ways. It is really great to watch the snowbirds that come out daily to watch us jump, they applaud the really nice swoops and if you crash and walk away you will get a standing ovation, not many places around that can say that. Everyone should come out here, jump, and watch the best organized 300 way attempts to date and maybe witness the new world record. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airgord 1 #11 July 31, 2002 It does not rain much here, even in December, not so the rest of the country, come out and JUMP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverdriver 5 #12 July 31, 2002 I'm so glad to hear that this record will be back on US soil. It's just not right having it anywhere else. And it will be broken. Those of you who have been on these 300 way attempts know what I'm talking about. The 300+ way is completely possible. Go slow, sheep dog. Dock, lock, and fly!

billvon 2,435 #14 July 31, 2002 Spectators (as in fun jumpers) - yes, as far as I know the DZ is going to be open as always. General public - the only issue, I think, is where to draw the line. Right now they just can't be in the landing area, but that line may be somewhere else during the event (past the edge of the hangar? don't know yet.) It's going to be fun.
