Wildwood USPA Nationals

Recommended Posts

We at Skydive Cross Keys and Skydive Wildwood are delighted to host the 2006 USPA Nationals of Canopy Piloting. We are working hard to make this a very enjoyable, accessible, and affordable event for everyone who wishes to enter. At the same time, we hope to raise the profile of the sport of skydiving by making the event spectator friendly, and paving the way for future sponsorships and a wider acceptance of the sport.

When we first considered Skydive Wildwood as a venue for the competition, the benefits of the positive exposure this event will generate were immediately obvious. There is an enormous audience in the Northeast, and thousands of people on the boardwalk daily. But, we also considered very seriously the costs borne by the competitors, and how we can make the competition affordable for everyone who qualifies and wishes to enter.

To reach that goal, we are aggressively pursuing sponsorships from local vendors at Wildwood, and from some select larger corporations. We intend to use sponsorship primarily to offset the cost for competitors of helicopter slots.

We have also arranged with the town for camping on the beach beside the competition area. Accommodations can be very pricey on the Labor Day weekend, so we are organizing a number of affordable options. Along with the beach camping, skydivers can use the lovely campgrounds just off the Island, with very good facilities. An abundance of cheaper hotels can be found right near the competition area. Local supporters are offsetting certain meal costs as well. As soon as we have compiled it, we will provide competitors lists of options on our website and by email so that everyone can book early.

The registration fee includes a really beautiful banquet at the new convention center – right on the Boardwalk. Wildwood Beach has a great vibe for a National event, and some of the best visuals anywhere. With some preparation and planning we can have an affordable, well-attended Nationals that brings the sport of skydiving right to the audience, and provides a terrific, skill building environment for skydiving athletes. If you have specific questions, feel free to email us at [email protected]

The grand prize at the USPA Canopy Piloting National Championships is a gold medal, and the great honor of representing your country, as the best of the best in America, in world competition!

Any cash prizes are determined by a number of factors, including our success attracting sponsors. We will announce that as soon as we know.

I will also be conducting a PST Training camp and the CPC Championships at the mile Hi Swoop Park in Colorado during the month of August. The entire PST 2006 schedule will be out in a week or so. Again, if your serious about getting some canopy coaching for competition then now is the time...Jim
