for you locals, who might want some one on one training before this event, you can contact me and i will let you know which weekends I will be out.

Pro competitors will only be able to compete as "Guests" during this event and they cannot win any of the cash purse.

The non X braced competition is for the "rookie" & "advanced" class pilots on the CPC. Pilots who have never competed on the CPC before can still participate in this event by becoming CPC members.

The Swoop Camp is for everyone competing or preparing to get onto the circuit.

Is this course going to be the standard lenght in speed carve and zone acc. the same one as in the cpc?

I think maybe those two events should have slightly shorter courses.

what do others think?

Weight classes/limitations, if any?

Im sure there will be a limit on weight, if allowed to wear any. but i doubt there will be separation in clases.

this event is a test event for a separate class in and of itself, no reason to make it into more classes.

but I couuld be wrong.

for those of you that might be coming from out of town. we have a bunkroom for free, but I would reserve your slot with hans ASAP.

go to www.skydivethefarm.com to get the DZ phone number and call him to reserve it.

If he runs out of bunks, im sure we can help out in finding places for you to crash, so you dont have to buy a hotel room.

The rest of the info will be released at the end of Feb with the Pro Swooping Tour schedule...

You can never have too many of them.

If your a chick and your coming to the comp post your name here. Actually, everyone coming post your name here...

Guys this is GREAT! Those of you that can make it better go after all the whining we did about wanting to compete on a level playing field. I am one of those whiners so working on trying to be there. Also props to those pro and advanced xbrace pilots willing to help train and prepare the rest of us for the event. This should be a good time for all with lots of learning to be done by the pilots!!

What day will the comp be happening?
Is the registration fee for just the comp or is the $120 a take it or leave it price?
I ask b/c even some of us locals wont be able to make to the entire event. I'd hate to pay for training I'm unable to attend.

Currently im 90% sure I will be there.

Jim,

This is really cool you're putting an event like this together, are you planning on doing something similar on the west coast?

[AggieDave 6]

Geez, too bad its far away and the same weekend as the Easyrider's show in Dallas.

Ok, seriously, I'm very glad to see this happening.
