Anyone going to Collegiates at the end of December?

[sdctlc 0]

I went a good number of years ago when I was in Graduate school.. If your in college and even if you dont have a team you should go! It was a great time and it was easy, at least when i went, to get on a pick up team for RW. You can always shoot acc. and style... Well worth the trip and tons o fun.......

Even with low jump numbers, I dot know the rules now but then if you had under 100 jumps you could cpmete in the 2 Way event...

I'm be representing Georgia Tech as part of their 4-way team. We've got some 2-way teams in the works too, so we'll see how that turns out.

Go. Even if you never competed!

Don't forget about the University of Florida Collegiate Boogie January 13-16. It's all about fun in the air and partying on the ground. We'll be jumping a Grand Caravan and helicopter with a Porter on call if we need it. Plenty of jumpers in all disciplines including wingsuit flocks.

For more details visit www.skydiveuf.com or www.skydivepalatka.com. If you have any specific questions PM me here or email me at [email protected].

I'd be there... but I'm the most experienced jumper at my school. Says a lot!

I really don't know what I'm talking about.

If you get a chance to go to the collegiates, GO! It is a great experience, even when you go by yourself.

There was another thread in the "Events & Places to Jump" forum just a few weeks ago about Collegiates. I'll be there to compete in Swoop Sport Acc. & hopefully Freefly too.

I'd love to try to get a big collegiate WS flock together. How many other wingsuit pilots are out there?

Are there requirements or anything to go? I mean..I'm in college and I skydive, is that enough? Where/when are they?

I think the rules are found in the Skydiver's Competition Manual, here:
