Wow - CT! You will set the standard for us!!!

You got it! Any fool can go to Florida and make a skydive. It takes a Cross Keys skydiver to know what an extreme sport is! Jumping at Freezefest - that's extreme - and we are still doing it!
And yes, we have added Frozen Pond Dildo Diving the Sequel: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut!

Please join us and find out! This boogie typically is one of the best attended of the entire season - and we've had people fly in from as far south as Florida! We even have a little snow right now, which makes the whole thing funner (yes, funner is a word in skydiving). And the party plans are coming along nicely - it will be a night to remember - if you can!

Yes - we have nothing but good weather forecasts so far! Winds 10-15, sunny, and in the 50s. I encourage everyone to come out, stay current, see your friends, get some airtime, and have fun! We have the King Air, with a really good heating system, a heated hangar, and the hottest skydivers around hee hee!

Chuck will be organizing the Drunken Dodgeball Rematch of the Titans. Peanut's gettin nekid!

It's that time again, NorthEasterners! Freeezefest is back at Skydive Cross Keys, February 3-4, 2007. With a heated Otter and a heated King Air, free hot organizers, heated hangar, heated Stearman Biplane jumps, and the hottest party of the year, we are gonna have a beer barrel of fun!
Start training for the next beer olympics and drunken dodgeball tourney. Saturday night will be off the hook, with prizes for winning teams of free skydives!
In addition, we will give away one free jump every hour we fly! You have to be here to win, so get out the gloves and the long underwear. Freeezefest is on! Check this forum for additional events, and:

We are open at 10 am every day, even weekends, but we will open at 9 on a Saturday or Sunday by appointment only.
We still have our Cessna if we need it for a smaller load! And we will have our King Air sometimes, too.

Just answering the most asked question since Jan 1st! Yes, Skydive Cross Keys is now open every day, starting at 10 am, throughout the winter.
We have the Purple Haze Otter stationed here right now, so bring friends. You can reach us to check weather starting at 10am every day 856-629-7553. Check us out on Myspace:

Yes, the chopper is available for fun jumps every day!! There will be lots of opportunity between rounds.

They will have the Super Otter with a free shuttle back to the Airport. The Alouette II Helicopter is the main aircraft for the competition.

Live National TV at USPA Swoop Nationals and Boogie, Wildwood, NJ

The United States Parachute Association contracted JWalcher Communications to organize the PR at the Wildwood USPA Nationals of Canopy Piloting, and the media interest is HUGE.

Both “Good Morning America Weekend” and the “Weekend Today Show” will be doing live broadcasts from the beach during the competition. All local TV stations are sending crews, and even the radio stations are getting involved! Matt Cord, local DJ from WMMR will be jumping onto the beach for the official opening ceremonies on Friday, September 1.

This is the first time a USPA national competition has been held in public, rather than on a DZ, so the media interest is enormous. Promoting the sport to a larger general audience was the intention of the USPA when they chose Wildwood for the competition – and it seems to be working. By Saturday morning, skydiving could be the biggest thing on TV!

Fun jumpers are welcome to be part of the event and skydive onto the beach, too. Freefly and RW organizers are available all weekend. A “D” License and water gear are required. Jumps are $22, and registration is $25. Please email [email protected] for an invitation to the Beach Boogie!

Attention all POPs and Parachutists Over Phorty who need to join! We are planning the New Jersey State Formation Record at Skydive Cross Keys this Saturday, August 19th.
Starting at 8 am Dave Ruckert will be organizing big-ways, and attempting to set a new record. The old one is only 17, so be prepared to snag a record! Registration is $20, and includes video and dinner by Mark's Menu.
You can join POPs when you get here! Just get here!
For more information please email [email protected] or post to this forum!

For anyone worried about lodging costs, there is camping available on the beach for free, and camping back at Skydive Cross Keys for free. There will be a plane travelling back and forth between Cross Keys and Wildwood daily if you wish to camp at Cross Keys.

The coaching for tracking is free all weekend, with CK1's Jimmy Tranter, Will Lajeunesse, and Yonatan Ran.

Registration begins on Friday, with the first tracking dives. Tracking coaching and practice will happen in small skill-level groups all weekend, lead by Jimmy, Will, and Yonatan. In addition Sunday, trackers who are interested and able will build a world record.

This Boogie is for everyone. Get better with CK1, and have a blast in the sky, and at night. Nightly entertainment includes showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Dinner, DJ, Keg, and extras.

Prizes for most improved tracker! Registration is $25 and includes all the entertainment, beverages, T-Shirt, and free group coaching throughout the event. The only requirement is an A License!

Please let us know if you are coming at [email protected] or add your name right here!

We are looking for interested people! If you want to learn CRW from Frank Matrone's Dawg Catchers Team, we are trying to set up a date. The May 5th weekend was our first pick for the camp. If you are interested, or you have another date in mind, please email us at [email protected].

We have also had a lot of inquiries about fun jumpers at both events. We will be running another plane (and chopper) for fun jumpers, too. A "D" license and water gear are required for fun jumpers.

They require a D License and water gear to jump on the beach. We will have a fun jumper boogie in conjunction with the competition. It's a beautiful skydive with a huge landing area on the beach.

Dear Northeast Skydivers:

Skydive the Ranch, and Skydive Cross Keys are both really great skydiving centers. The opinions of Vertifly in no way reflect the opinions of the people here at Skydive Cross Keys.

The Ranch is well known for a caring staff and friendly atmosphere, and has a long history in the Northeast as a solid skydiving training center. We at Cross Keys have many, many friends at the Ranch. They are instructors, videographers, and fun jumpers, and they are all great representatives of the sport. We would jump at the Ranch without hesitation.
Many of the licensed jumpers in this area go back and forth between Skydive Cross Keys and The Ranch regularly. The Northeast is a great place to live as a skydiver, because you have so many excellent dropzones to choose from. We encourage everybody to try out different skydiving locations, and decide for yourself which place has the best vibe for you. You can find a full slate of events listed on our calendar at www.skydivecrosskeys.com. Please come and check us out!

Sincerely,
Skydive Cross Keys Management
