tetra316 0 #1 October 16, 2008 So I'd like to try and find one other event to go to in December or within the first TWO weeks of January before tax season hits and I'm back to working 55-65 hours. So far I'm only aware of the Spaceland sequential January 10-11th. The smaller events like this aren't listed on bigways.com(oops-okay so that event is indeed listed). I can't afford Ecuador in December though. Anything else going on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smooth 0 #3 October 16, 2008 There may be some additional events of interest on the Events page here on dz.com http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/calendar/page.cgi?d=1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #4 October 17, 2008 If you can somehow postpone things till late Jan, I am told California State Record will become open for registration shortly. Within your time period, ZHills has their Xmas boogie, they have many 20-ways too to keep your bigway skills fresh. (I may be making a side trip, as I'm going to be near Tampa) I'm going to the Texas Winter Bigway Camp in early November. (P.S. I fly in IAH @ 11pm Tues Nov 4. I'm looking to split costs of car rental or pay your gas. PM me.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdctlc 0 #5 October 17, 2008 Perris just sent out a newsletteer via E-mail with the following in your time frame: Holiday Boogie December 27 - January 4 The party will start just after Christmas and go right through New Years 2009!! For the FS jumpers Dan BC, members of Perris Fury, Mark, Darryl and Bob will be doing loose organizing throughout the week as well as planned events on particular days. Travis Fienhage has also put together a lot of fun plans for the Freeflyers!! $25 jumps all week!! Power Play Warm-ups Dec 26-27 This event is ideal for enthusiasts of more advanced mid-sized jumps like those found in the P3 Power Play in July. If you are working on your skills so you can achieve a Power Play invitation, this event is a perfect opportunity. Those who are Power Play veterans will enjoy the opportunity to keep their skills fresh and participate in some fun and challenging dives. Contact Dan BC at DanChenfld@aol.com for more information and to see if this event is a fit for you.

mdrejhon 8 #6 October 17, 2008 UPDATE.... If you're on Jen's mailing list, they just announced that the registration for the California State Record (160-way) for January 21-25 is now open for registration! The link is not yet on bigways.com but gemini probably will be updating it shortly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 1,920 #8 October 19, 2008 Quotelink was active Friday night. This one will fill up fast. Jim, registration is available either through Jen or through bigways.com. Is one preferred over the other by the organizers?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gemini 0 #9 October 19, 2008 Both registrations go directly to Jen. Bigways.com is only a link to the Skydive Perris CSR page and form. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tetra316 0 #17 November 4, 2008 I'm in for CSR too! Just got my invite. Now if I can only convince work to give me those days off I'm all set! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdesilets 0 #18 November 6, 2008 TSR for me as well. I would love to do the CA event but we have a Guy Wright 36 (or more) way event in Spaceland the weekend of Jan 10/11 -- so I can't schwing that and CA since they are soo close. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Spaceland 60-ways this weekend .. woohoo.. -Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #19 November 10, 2008 Just back almost 30 bigway jumps in Spaceland, including some 30-ways and 60-ways! But don't think I'm in CSR -- I'm still a longshot after having only done my first 100-ways in September. Wish I could join that one! Maybe in 2010, or Men's World Record, as I plan to attend both May/Sept 2009 Perris 100-way camps... I'll be at the ZHills 40-way invitationals (Xmas boogie at Skydive City Dec 27-30) and 2 hours at a December tunnel camp at SVNH. (Perris Big Way Camp regulars will recognize me as the deaf Canadian.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
