What: We will be having Two-way, Four-way, Sport accuracy, Classic Accuracy,and FreeFly competitions. Unlike USPA Nationals, Any one (even solo-non-licensed skydivers) may participate in the competition. When: Friday-Sunday, May 29-th-31st Where: Skydive Carolina, Chester,SC http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=skydive+carolina&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=34.861942,53.964844&ie=UTF8&ll=36.672825,-80.69458&spn=4.414166,6.745605&t=h&z=7&iwloc=A&iwd=1&cid=628156994744223466 Why: At USC, we believe that the next wave of skydivers helping the collegiate cause, will be those that have reaped some of the benefits. With all of the hardships of being a student skydiver, we understand that money for gas, food, books, the rise of tuition costs and interests rates on loans in addition to the high cost of our sport we(and the help of Skydive Carolina) strive to provide skydiving at cost for collegiate skydivers. Our club's home dropzone is Skydive Carolina. We have been very fortunate in being received with open arms and would now like to share. In most competitions there seems to be a requirement to participate. The details are to be ironed out, but we would like everyone to come and play in the sky during this event. To help ensure this is not a plan for disaster, we have come up with some ways to combat misfortune. For example: all competitors must attend the mandatory competition briefings to fully understand the rules if they wish to compete in any of our events. We are developing and enacting strict rules to keep new skydivers, and all of our collegiate competitors safe. Other benefits of this competition are... (1)Meet the Flying Gamecocks skydiving club as we welcome you to come visit us for a fun weekend! (2)Students off of AFF, or working on A-Card requirements will be able to come experience a taste of competition and hopefully achieve their A-License during the event. (3)T-shirts,Medals, Food (4) Registration and event fees are being based on cost. We assume it will be $25 or less. In addition to competing in our competition, your registration to Carolinafest will be waived, which happens to be the following week. (the price for registration is still to be determined) (5) Other items we are still working on include: paying slot and cost of data cd to get free video/stills, reduced lift tickets, and other ideas are welcome...be sure to PM me your thoughts! Requirements: To participate in this event, you must bring a copy of your transcripts and student ID. Furthermore you must be a current student or recently graduated in the past 6 months. Yes, this includes you December, and May Graduates! We hope to see you at the end of May for the First Annual Gamecock Invitational! www.FlyingGamecocks.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
