CBurket 0 #1 June 14, 2002 I was wondering if there are any collegiate jumpers out there who might be interested in a 4-way team at nationals this year. We might be able to meet and practice at Couchfreaks, Summerfest, or WFF. I know a couple people that might be interested, but if your interested, email me at SkydiveKU@hotmail.comBlues,Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SBS 0 #2 June 14, 2002 what exactly qualifies someone for collegiates? Obviously being in college...but is there an age limit, unit limit, etc?Lemme know...I'd be interested to find out details.Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBurket 0 #3 June 15, 2002 You have to be a full time student (be taking 12 hours) and there are certain things that can disqualify you. I think its something like if you are over 25 AND have been in the sport for more than 5 years AND have more than 1000 jumps. Something like that.

SBS 0 #4 June 15, 2002 Thanks. Maybe it would be easier to ask about me specifically...I'm 23, 18 units next semester, 4 years in the sport as of April, and 1600 jumps. How would I find out if I'm ok?Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #5 June 15, 2002 Steve... your still alowed in. I was going to compete in the comp at Lake Wales in December even though I graduated in October. The thing that they are trying to prevent is someone going back to school in their 30's and trying to compete against kids that have limited money and don't get to jump as much. The scholarship they give away requires you to not be from a wealty family, or if you are you have to give the money to then next highest placing finisher that could use it.Drop the tube...DROP the tube...
