diveout 0 #27 May 20, 2004 Oh well I guess we'll have to get Hi-Per or Icarus or Precision Aero, or Aerodyne to send us a free canopy... maybee half off a new canopy or a free reserve would be good!? How are the prizes coming, STU? What's the grand prize so far? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

odendan 0 #29 May 26, 2004 Sounds cool, do you have beer at your place? You know how much I adore free beer! Especially the good beer, not the cheap shit! Currently is looks like a go for Loren and I, but you know how that can change. If Loren does not make I should be able to regardless. Anybody able to tell me when this will start, or better yet, when the competitors should arrive? whips n' chains n' hand-grenades with a little ugly on the side.

superstu 0 #31 May 26, 2004 There will ba mandatory safety meeting Saturday morning @ 8am. Practice jumps friday, the course will be set up. It's this early because we're trying to avoid winds. You can crash at the dz with other folks that will be there. see ya there, glad you guys are comin.Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diveout 0 #32 May 26, 2004 TO ALL YOU SDO AND WASHINGTON KIDS COMMING DOWN FOR THE SWOOP CONTEST: the best time to show up would be friday afternoon, that way you can make a couple of jumps and check out the landing area and where we'll have the courses set up. Even if you have jumped down here before, Stu may be setting up the course east-west instead of North-South like the normal pattern in the main landing area is set. We're a pretty decent bunch to party with, of if you just want to cool out and collect your thoughts for the comp in the morning that works too. Either way bring a sleeping bag. Or, if a group of you wanted to get a hotel in town it's about 2 minutes away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odendan 0 #33 May 27, 2004 We can not make it Friday, on account of some tandems we need to do. Kind of sucks we do not get to practice, but if the course is being changed around, maybe we will have a small chance against the locals!Roy - If you are up for it, we could head down there to party, but I am not sure when we will be getting out of here. Might be easier to go straight there then get up way early for the safety briefing. Let me know what you think. Dan whips n' chains n' hand-grenades with a little ugly on the side.

D22369 0 #34 May 27, 2004 I live in Wilsonville and will have to come home to let the dog out at night, unless you have somewhere we can camp? does the dz allow dogs *(on a leash/ cable) RoyThey say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tetra316 0 #35 May 27, 2004 Yes they do....with and without a leash as long as they're not walking all over the canopies (Unless someone wants to correct me on this..) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diveout 0 #36 May 28, 2004 dogs have traditionally been ok with the dz folks -a leash is always a good idea obviously, we've even got a dz doggie water dish. you can stay in the hangar, no need to bring a tent, just a sleeping bag. you can shower accross the way at the old KOA camping area Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D22369 0 #37 May 28, 2004 COOOOL......... just might be able to stay and party with everyone rather than heading home everynight RoyThey say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superstu 0 #40 May 31, 2004 dude, jeff come on man you gotta come. PD has hooked us up with some great stuff and there will be a raffle and you could still win a 35% off any PD canopy gift certificate. also, this will be one of the best places to practice. there will be very knowledgable canopy pilots there and you'll learn a hell of a lot. later man, ~StuSlip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superstu 0 #42 June 1, 2004 no worries, come out friday afternoon, get a few practice jumps in, and get a few hints/tips. it should be cool. there might be an air mattress at the dz or you can take some pillows of the couches. by the way have you seen the flier up there at SDO? just wondering how many people have seen it and are planning on coming.Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManBird 0 #45 June 1, 2004 I don't think I can make it for practice jumps, but I'm definitely there for the meeting at 8am. I might try to cruise out Friday night, as opposed to early ass Saturday AM. I don't need practice jumps, anyway, because I'm rad and I'll win anyway. I'll win distance, accuracy, freestyle, and a special new competition that you haven't even heard of. Yeah... rad! Actually, if I don't pound in, I'll be happy. Making gates would be a good bonus."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
