swoopster33 0 #1 June 29, 2005 PRESS RELEASE 6/24/05 RE: Go Fast Canopy Pilot Challenge Dates: September 12th – 18th, 2005 Location: Mile Hi Skydiving, Longmont, CO. Schedule: Attached Purse Distribution: Attached Submit by: Lyle Presse Spokesman / Event Organizer [email protected] The Go Fast Canopy Pilot Challenge scheduled for September 12th – 18th will bring pilots of all levels to a Colorado drop zone for the most anticipated swoop meet of the year. We have no doubt that combining the inaugural CPC Championships, three record attempts, two new concept team events, plus individual, advanced and pro events in one big meet with an $18,000 cash purse and a fun jumper boogie at the same time will guarantee the largest field of competitors to date and an event not to be missed. Mile Hi Skydiving has shown a huge commitment by investing almost $40,000 into the newest and largest swoop pond in the skydiving world. An 8,000 pound one piece pond liner is currently being installed into the 370 by 190 foot excavation, and a cover to prevent evaporation will arrive soon. When completed, the over 60,000 square feet of pond surface will make it the perfect environment for all classic, artistic and team events. Plans include a large scale event at the pond every year, and canopy pilots are already thinking about making adjustments for the 5000 plus foot altitude. Early indications support excellent conditions in the thinner dry air for new records to be set. The Canopy Piloting Leagues organized by Jim Slaton and regional organizers will allow the top 5 competitors from each of 13 regions to enter the finals and vie for $5,000 of the purse. Another $10,000 will be awarded to competitors involved in a series of events organized by Lyle Presse which includes the two new events. Pro competitors will find themselves face to face flying past each other in separate lanes and opposite directions in an attempt to reach the center of the course simultaneously. A new 4 person event which will test the teams right from 5000’ through to the landings, and is expected to be the most spectacular canopy piloting event ever seen. The final $3000 is split into three $1000 awards for anyone who sets a new record in speed or distance and for the first person to go Dirt-Water-Dirt on the 370’ side of the new pond….. a feat that only the very best in the sport may be able to succeed at. DZO Frank Casares has ordered a $1,000 bill from a local bank that will be waiting on the far side of the pond for the first person who makes it during the allotted time period. Fun jumpers can enjoy the action of the meet or play on their own as the drop zone’s newly reconditioned Twin Otter will join the King Air and some guest aircraft to handle all the lift capacity that is needed for the boogie and the competition jumpers. For more information check out the website at www.milehiskydiving.com/gofastchallenge or contact the drop zone at (303) 702-9911. Information will also be available at www.canopypiloting.com. The competition schedule, competitor requirements and the cash purse distribution are attached separately. Sincerely, Lyle Presse Event Organizer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Start dragging before the pond, then continuously across the pond and out the other side onto the dry ground. I still can't wait to see what the pros can do here at altitude. I'm pretty sure that going Dirt-Water-Dirt here on the new pond will be an incredible feat. Our swoops are faster here, but we have less lift. But we're only amateurs. Actually our top amateurs are pretty damn good, but nevertheless we're still amateurs. I can't wait to see what the pros can do. Oh and there is a slight inaccuracy as to the current status of the pond. It's NOT the DZ's fault, but when they say that the liner is CURRENTLY being installed, this is not true. Apparently the shipping company decided to poke a hole in the liner and this has set us back a couple of weeks. It shouldn't effect the event in September, but some of us locals were hoping to get wet sooner than that. BTW ... you going to be here in September Mr. Monkey man?

Start dragging before the pond, then continuously across the pond and out the other side onto the dry ground.

Start dragging before the pond, then continuously across the pond and out the other side onto the dry ground. I still can't wait to see what the pros can do here at altitude. I'm pretty sure that going Dirt-Water-Dirt here on the new pond will be an incredible feat. Our swoops are faster here, but we have less lift. But we're only amateurs. Actually our top amateurs are pretty damn good, but nevertheless we're still amateurs. I can't wait to see what the pros can do. Oh and there is a slight inaccuracy as to the current status of the pond. It's NOT the DZ's fault, but when they say that the liner is CURRENTLY being installed, this is not true. Apparently the shipping company decided to poke a hole in the liner and this has set us back a couple of weeks. It shouldn't effect the event in September, but some of us locals were hoping to get wet sooner than that. BTW ... you going to be here in September Mr. Monkey man?
