Vallerina 2 #1 February 28, 2005 I've never been, but I heard it's the best way to kick off the jumping season in the Midwest! (Also, doesn't our very own Kallend give a seminar???) QuoteSpring Expo-Our annual safety expo featuring seminars and booths from some of skydiving’s innovators and leaders. We will have booths from Performance Designs, Sun Path, Aerodyne, Mirage, Zute Sute, Birdman and Freefall Accessories. Seminars will range from all aspects of flying your body and canopy, to dropzone safety and business. Combine this with $17 jumps, dinner served from the incredible café and a door prize drawing makes this a don’t-miss event. Who's in?There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #2 February 28, 2005 I go every year. It's super fun. I've never actually been to kallend's seminar though. Maybe this year i'll finally sit in on it. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrewGPM 0 #24 March 24, 2005 I never miss the expo. Kallends' freefall drift seminar is worth listening to...as are all the presentations. I learned to fly my canopy five years ago by listening to a presentation hosted by John Leblanc from PD. Every year I learn something new. This year is special for me. Missy has asked to give a presentation...maybe two. It's not on the schedule, so you'll have to look for it when you get there. With the help of Missy Nelson we are adding VRW to the Midwest Skydiving League. There may be 2-way, 4-way and 2-way sit divisions. We are also meeting with Jim Slaton at the Expo to finalize the deal that announces me as the director of the Chicago Canopy Piloting Circuit. So we'll have something for everyone...except those crazy skysurfers and the freaky Freestylers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
