Detailed instruction will be followed by guided visualization and imagery exercises. It’s been said that skydiving is 10% physical and 90% mental. Learn how to consistently perform at your best by keeping your head in the game. These techniques can be utilized at all skill levels and for all disciplines. The series is being sponsored by the Ranch Skydiving League. There is a suggested donation of $5 to attend the lecture and all money will be used to finance the running of the league. So support your fellow skydivers and get some valuable information at the same time. Rookie Challenge #2 Saturday, August 30. Start time: 8am. This is the meet that had originally been scheduled to take place on the weekend of August 2/3, but was rained out. Two or three “Rookies” (anyone with less than 200 RW jumps, regardless of total jump numbers) will be teamed up with a coach. Three jumps will be made - each focusing on a specific RW skill. Points are awarded to each team for successfully launching an exit, the number of points built in a defined working time period, and accuracy landing. The top three teams will receive prizes. Each jump costs one normal jump ticket plus $10 to pay your videographer. Sign up at Manifest. Pre-registration is highly recommended to ensure we have the correct number of coaches. Walk-ins and late arrivals on the morning of the event will be accepted on a space available basis only. So don't get left out, pre-register and show up on time. The Gong Show Saturday, August 30 On Saturday night after sunset, we’ll begin the evenings festivities with a delicious buffet dinner. This will be followed by the first ever Ranch Gong Show Talent Competition. If you’ve never seen the Gong Show, it was a 70’s era game show hosted by game show genius Chuck Berris, where blowing smoke out of your ass was considered high-brow art. Actually, inhaling smoke via your ass would probably earn you first place. Our event will be hosted by our own Chuck Berris: the one and only Bruce “I am the Princess of the Pond” Chapman (star of such memorable films as Swoop, Snow Disc Snow, and Swoop 2) Anyone who has some hidden talent they’re longing to share should get their act together and sign up. Here’s your chance to go down in Ranch history and win some really cheesy prizes at the same time. Remember, this is the Ranch. We don’t care about good taste, or even real talent, only entertainment. To sign up contact Bruce “Hats! I need more Hats!!” Chapman or Manifest.
