popsjumper 2 #1 November 7, 2009 Georgia's first SCSA! The Star Crest Skydiver Award recipient, (hoop dive) must freefly the exit (no grips), pass through a hoop held by two others and form an 8-way or larger formation on the other side of the hoop. A minimum of ten skydivers are required to earn this award and the 2 hoop holders are included. 12-way, Skydive The Farm, 11/7/09, 3:30pm http://starcrestawards.com/awards/index.htmlMy reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So once the GA group is awarded there are only 360 in the world that can say they officially did it!! Great skydive guys!!!! It has taken me 8 years with about 40 attempts to get this. What a great day and i really appreciate everyone giving this two tries today!!! THANK YOU ALL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,116 #7 November 9, 2009 Congratulations, Andy & co. It's a fun jump, that takes a lot more discipline than one would think sometimes. Wendy P.

upndownshop 0 #9 November 10, 2009 Quote Congratulations Andy. Now go up and do it at night. Sparky SCSA – 329 NCSA - 105 So Bill Newell sent me some video from 1993 in Perris containing hoop dives. Pretty nice flying, but as we got further into the video (multiple jumps) I began to see something. If i am not mistaken there was extra altitude.......but what caught my attention was not only was it extra at the top but also the bottom. Some names and locations in this video he included in a letter were Perris Pukes, Mike Dimenichi, Tim Moorehead, West Point, and Elsinore jumpers. He said Mike rigged the hoop with red and green lights with switches that the holders used as a traffic light for the night divers. Good ole days!!! (not really that old, but for some...)And to both of you NSCSA holders...Damn nice!!! Would you do it again? The NSCSA would be the only reason I would do another night jump, ok maybe for a NSCR instead. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #10 November 10, 2009 Awesome job guys. I remember doing a couple of those hoop jumps at the old Air Ventures DZ in Rome in the mid 90's. We tried for the SCSA, but came a couple jumpers short. I don't think I ever saw another attempt outside of one jump at the WFFC."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn thats it, Im going to the other SkyFest 2009!! :) Seriously, just got word from Bill Newell and he has received 9 forms, so our numbers and patches are on the way!

I didn’t notice that. It is strange since Joe died in 1983 and I got the award in 1995. I have to ask Bill about that one.
