okalb 104 #1 April 25, 2006 Hi everyone, It’s that time of the year again! On Sunday, May 28th (Memorial Day Weekend), I will be organizing the fourth annual Z-Hills 4-way Scrambles. If you have participated before, you know this is a fun day for everyone involved. If you haven’t had the opportunity, this is your chance! The scrambles are designed for jumpers of all skill levels to compete and learn. So far, prizes have been provided by Larsen & Brusgaard (makers of the ProTrack, Viso & Solo altimeters) as well as Performance Designs, Skydive City, Sunshine Factory, Sunrise Rigging and other industry businesses. For those of you not familiar with the format, all jumpers will be assigned a team based on your skill level and experience. Players will be evenly distributed via random drawing, so that all teams will have 1 experienced captain, 1 lower experienced jumper and 2 mid experienced jumpers. In the past we have had as many as 15 teams compete and there are never more than a few points separating the scores, proving a fairly level playing field. This event is open to any and all skydivers of any discipline. Low experience and skill level is not an issue. If you are interested in participating, please email me at okalb@yahoo.com. Add “scrambles” to the subject line to ensure that I will read it. Start time will be 8:00AM. Please be there on time as we need about an hour to collect tickets and draw the teams. The cost of the event is 4 jump tickets for the 4 rounds and $20 to cover the video. TK has also agreed to a SkydiveCity sponsored BBQ that night. Please forward this to anyone that might be interested. Thanks -OKTime flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
okalb 104 #2 April 26, 2006 This just in!!! Sally Hathaway of Team Synchronicity and Tunnelcoach.com has donated a day of coaching to the Zhills 4-way scrambles. She will be available all day to any of the teams that need assistance with exits and engineering. Coaching will be set up in front of Paragone Rigging, directly across from Manifest.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites marcandalysse 0 #22 May 29, 2006 Scrambles were great, and the weather cooperated so we got in all four jumps, even with an impressive windstorm, lightening and all passing briefly through the area before our round four!! Good training, and good exercise, chance to jump with new people and lots of fun!! marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lauras 0 #23 May 29, 2006 Oren registered 11 teams for Skydive City's 4th annual Srambles. With a dedicated Otter, he got all 4 rounds in 12 back to back loads, which was sweeeet! The new King of Scrambles is Jim "Bu" Klinge and his team, "Save Ferris" with Christine Freiherr, Janine Columbo & Norm Olson! Norm is my new hero... He just celebrated his 75th birthday a couple of months ago and started jumping again about a year ago after a 20+ year lay off. He had over 2000 jumps that he racked up in the days of really really olde and that's no joke! Yay Norm! He's going to Skyventure Orlando this Tuesday with Sally Hathaway because he'd like to work on cleaner turns. Man, we should all be like this at 75! The first place team "Save Ferris" won 15 free minutes from SkyVenture Orlando and a free packjob from Nylon City. 2nd place team "Rock Paper Scissors" won 50% off Wings certificates. 3rd place team "Sunday Comix" won Skydive City sweatshirts & PD Tshirts. 4th place team "Immaculate Conception" won Tshirts from Sunshine Factory. We also had a random drawing for our generous prizes from Larsen & Brusgaard. Nan Smith won the ProTrack, Tom Ferguson won the Optima and Leon won the Solo. Special thanks to Sally for coaching all the teams; Autumn & Debbie, our wonderful Manifest Wenches; our pilot Julie; TK; and our video dudes Roy Jr., Igor, Pip, Ron & Tom; and to Oren for wrangling it all together! Next event: SWOOP DU JOUR! Coming up on July 1st. $1000 cash prize for fastest swoop of the day!
