SkymonkeyONE 3 #1 January 7, 2002 Cross-posted from the swoop forum:ATTENTION fellow Swoopers!There is a pond swoop money meet this weekend (11-13 January) at Z-hills. I just found out about it. Here are the particulars:$150 entrance fee covers seven jumps (two practice rounds and five competition rounds)$2000 (at least) in prize moneySeminars by Brian Germain, Rat, J.C. (among others)The actual meet is Saturday and Sunday. No cutoff for registration apparently, so long as you can complete your rounds before sunday afternoon. I am looking for someone from NC to split driving down there with me! Call me at (910) 273-6291 if you are SERIOUSLY interested. Doesn't look like I can leave Fayetteville until around 5pm on Friday, so it will be a straight haul down there. I have a place to stay and everything. Unless I can swing it, I have to be back at work on Monday, so we will leave right after the awards and hook it up the interstate.Chuck BlueMy webpage HERE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weid14 0 #6 January 7, 2002 cool, thanks, I may show up. a canopy seminar by TK? that's pretty ironic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dove 0 #7 January 7, 2002 I believe he is gonna show that video too! Damn - I sure wish I had the balls and the skills to even do the junior meet. I know it says all skill levels but I never even had a desire to swoop before last week and the weather has been crap since then. Though starting on Wednesday it looks sweet! I will be lurking and learning though.... and cheering! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prost 0 #14 January 8, 2002 Chuck, I wish it wasn't his weekend or I would go with you. I was just recalled to the Marine Corps. I have been out for 3 years on IRR and they called me back for my last year. They sent me up to Quantico. I can't go this weekend because I still have things to take care of here. In the future, let me know and I will join you going to any swoop comps in Florida. I want to get into compitition swooping. Iwould be willing to split the ride with you if nothing else but to get some pointers.William Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
