sunnydee123 0 #53 March 2, 2006 Hi gang............I am flying in to Atlanta Thursday night at 8pm and wondering some stuff: Any game plans for sleeping yet? (*I know - what is that....*)? Who's tenting? Renting hotels? Anyone flying in or going to be in the area and want a stow away? I'm leaving Monday morning at 9am and will be begging for a ride back to ATL also. Hope to see lots of ya there - especially girls. Come on girls, claim some spots. xo, Denise Dreams become reality, one choice at a time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunnydee123 0 #55 March 8, 2006 I've got all sorts of offers and options with the sleeping part now.........although nothing has been set in stone. What I REALLY need help with is getting from Atlanta (near the airport) out TO the Farm Friday morning. I'm not worried, the details will sort themselves out - I am just VERY excited to be a total Jim Slaton Sponge that weekend. See everyone soon Dreams become reality, one choice at a time...

sunnydee123 0 #61 March 9, 2006 Hmmm...........would it mean I get the sexual gratification I'm assuming a sponge of that nature gets simply because of it's plan in life? HA HA HA......... .......I'm not going to start making jokes like that. I want you boys to take me seriuosly in my endeavor to become a bad ass swooper chick! Only way that will happen is with all your help........ So do people stay at hotels when visting the Farm or what? I'm still in the search of my ride from Atlanta to wherever the farm is Friday morning. Anyone heading that way? I'm a morning person.......I'll be all the Red Bull you need to get your day started. jeshe - wonder if my 1,000th jump will be at a camp under my canopy all by myself ............not a bad thing - my canopy is my passion these days.

CanopyPiloting 0 #65 March 15, 2006 hey Jim, I was thinking, what if someone wants the camp, "and they fly a crossbraced" but dont want to compete, will you allow that if you have the room available? Yes, they could join the camp and I may even give them some added material but keep in mind that the seminars/coaching I will give at this camp will be for rookie and advanced level pilots flying a non X braced canopy. The CPC Swoop Camp... First, it is designed for pilots wanting to start doing HP approaches and landings. Second, it is for pilots wanting to get into the CPC (amateur swoop competitions). Third, it is for experienced pilots who have not yet got onto a X braced canopy. Fourth, it is for pilots who have not had a chance to compete in a competition.

marks 0 #73 March 21, 2006 it will most def. be over water, not sure how jim is wanting to set it up, but I suspect it will be similar, probably deeper out in the water. and yes the gates will be 10 ft, he may be bringing the flags for it though, so it wont be the same course.

sunnydee123 0 #74 March 21, 2006 That would be great if you guys came out....From all I've read about this so far, and from the emails I've exchanged with Jim, this is going to be a GREAT learning experience for us newbie swoopers Hope to see you then!
