    Skydive The Farm

    The Farm was a blast during the 4th of July weekend. Everyone I met was awesome and I immediately felt welcome and at home. It's a shame that it's 4.5 hours away, but the good news is that it's only 4.5 hours away! The Farm is truly about skydiving and sport jumping and they treat their patrons well. The pace is a little slower due to the fact that you need to shuttle over to the airport...small price to pay. I still got 7 jumps in each day and that was without much effort. Thanks to everyone there for the good times and thanks to Hans for the free load Sunday!
  2. What people call 2way is actually referred to as just Freefly and when you register for Nationals it is called 3way. Freefly is considered an artistic discipline and not VRW as it contains both compulsory rounds (randoms) and an artistic routine. Additionally, performers are expected to fly in all orientations (head, feet, belly, back, etc..) and not just in vertical orientations. If you are asking for the freefly randoms for USPA you want to look in the SCM (Skydivers Competition Manual) in section 6 (Artistic Events). 6-3.1 lists the Open class randoms and 6-3.2 lists the Intermediate randoms. 6-1.11 contains definitions of what constitutes legal moves, grips, docks, etc... The FAI stuff is also contained in the artistic section of their corresponding competition documents. I don't have any pictures of the randoms though they would only be an idea of what it might look like. A Joker for instance is one performer head up and one performer head down with a single hand-to-hand grip. It doesn't specify which hand is to be used by either performer nor does it say that they have to be perfectly in front of each other. The specified grip and the orientation of the jumpers are what is important in randoms. Rounds 2 and 5 are random/compulsory rounds and 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 are the "free" rounds. This is the same for USPA and FAI. Here are some examples from the guys that won gold in the open class at the 2009 USPA nationals at Spaceland. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=04C090C663B42C2E Hope this is helpful.
