okalb 78 #1 February 23, 2004 Hi Everyone, Skydive City/Zhills will be hosting a 4-way scrambles meet on Sunday March 7th. Those of you that participated at the meet we had last July will probably remember what a great day we had. The huge turnout that we had last time (9 teams) is going to be blown away based on the interest I have gotten so far on this event. For those of you that missed the last one, here is how it works. All participants are separated into one of four skill level groups. One name from each group is randomly selected and that becomes your team for the day. We have some very experienced 4-way people helping out and they will be on hand to coach as well as captain teams for the day. The meet will consist of 4 rounds drawn from the IPC dive pool. The cost of the event is 4 regular jump tickets plus a $30 registration fee to cover the cost of video for every jump. Cool prizes will be distributed to the winning teams. If you are interested, please be at the DZ by 8:00 AM on Sunday, March 7th. If you plan to be there, please let me know by PM just so I can have a better idea of how many people to expect. Hope to see you then -Oren www.skydivecity.comTime flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

okalb 78 #3 February 23, 2004 QuoteMinimum jump requirements? Pretty much all skill levels are welcome. I don't want to put a jump number requirement on it. I think most people know if they are qualified to participate. Last year we had a person with only 70 jumps on the winning team, so it is hard to say. -OKTime flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron 7 #4 February 23, 2004 QuotePretty much all skill levels are welcome And thats what I wanted to hear. I would hate for a guy with "X" number of jumps to think he can't come. I think its a good thing, and it did go well last time...."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My team came in first with me as the newbie (57 jumps). I would recommend all newbie jumpers to take advantage of a GREAT learning experience! It's a blast!Blue Skies!!!

lauras 0 #8 February 24, 2004 Oren & Drew have already signed up about 40 Zhills locals, including the following dz.com posters: heatherb ladyskydiver stacy skybrat68 sikorsky rick mwolfe marcandalysse galen jerm happythoughts (I'm assuming?! C'mon Bill!) AND arlo to ensure that a little havok is wreaked. If you're worried about "can I do this" or "I'll hold everyone back"... as in last July's meet, Bob Healy will be there to help out teams with engineering, exits and overall coaching. We had people with 60 jumps, CRW dogs who haven't gone terminal in forever and freefliers who haven't been on their bellies since AFF all rocking it out. Don't worry about it. Come on out!

Stacy 0 #15 February 25, 2004 I think oren started wearing pants when a dinosaur appeared in a conspicuous location on his jumpsuit. That and when no jumpsuit dives started getting to be bad ideas. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have lined up some great prizes and coaches as well.

okalb 78 #24 March 1, 2004 The turnout is getting so overwhelming that I am starting to seriously worry about having enough video people. If anyone out there is interested in coming to z-hills to help out shooting video for the meet this sunday, pm me or email me at [email protected] for the details on what we are paying and all that other good stuff.
