alexbitt 0 #1 June 25, 2008 Hey everyone, my name is Alex Bittner and I am starting the skydive club at Stetson University in Deland, FL. We are hosting a Back-to-School collegiate boogie at Skydive Deland September 26-28 to boost interest with students about our club and the world of collegiate skydiving in general. The boogie will have: - discounted tandems - load organizing by D3 - sport accuracy competition - live entertainment - catering by the Ocean Deck Restaurant and Beach Club - canopy demos - coaching sessions - drink specials - giveaways - and much, much more The club is just getting off the ground and we feel that a boogie to start out the school year and collegiate skydive season is definitely in order. There will be free camping at the DZ and there are multiple reasonable choices of hotels and motels in the area, as well. Let me know if you're interested in coming and if you have any input about things you'd like to see at the boogie so we can take care of that while we have the time. For more information about the club and the event, check out our website www.stetsonskydiving.com Blue Skies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously people...even if you don't like Jaeger, NO ONE can say they haven't had crazy nights spurned by it."...I'm going to feed your fingers to the wolverines..."

Kimsdu 0 #8 September 10, 2008 Skydive Deland VFS Skills Camp with Deland Hybrid XP Skydive Deland is hosting its first VFS training and skills camp. This event is geared toward learning all Hybrid has to know about Vertical Formation Skydiving. This is a great opportunity to come and get acquainted with Skydive Deland’s newest skydiving team and also learn more about the newest discipline in skydiving. Whether you’re a beginner skydiver, an old school belly flyer, or an advanced freeflyer, this will be a great event for you to broaden your knowledge of vertical flying. The camp will start off with a seminar about the VFS dive pool, dirt diving, and how to plan and execute the whole dive pool. There will be a strong focus on basics and it will be a friendly open forum in which you can ask questions, take notes or even video tape how Hybrid trains and plans their jumps. This Seminar will take place at Skydive Deland on September 27th at 9:00 am. The seminar is free to attend and will be going on till about 12:00. Starting at 1:00 pm all Hybrid team members will be available to do 1 on 1 coach jumps. Jumps will include video, with video debrief. This will be a first come first serve basis so be sure to register with Skydive University early. On Sunday September 28th Hybrid will put together groups (up to four) to start applying the information gathered from the Seminar. It is highly recommended to attend the free seminar the day before! Each group will make six jumps your group will be with a minimum of one Hybrid member and also have video. The cost of this part of the event is $300. If there is interest in doing larger sequential afterwards Hybrid will be organizing for that as well for the cost of a jump ticket. VFS is in it 2nd year as an official event at US Nationals scheduled to commence in October of this year. It is catching on all over the world. In fact following US Nationals is the first FAI sanctioned World Cup of Vertical Formation Skydiving. Teams from several countries are already scheduled to attend this event and compete. Deland Hybrid XP will be one of those teams. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
