The Tunnel will run Sunday evening from 6pm to 6am and we will be posting a link of where & how to sign up soon! This will be an awesome weekend... I can't wait!!!

Hi Ari, Thanks for making us aware of that typo! VFS will be 1 minute of flight time with 35 seconds of working time, from the time that your team leaves the net. Due to numerous teams requesting a late registration, we will also leave the registration open, so your team may still register online at: http://www.paracletexp.com/node/78

The video will be the final judge for any point/busts made. You may find the following information in the freefly rules posted on our website: Scoring FreeFly Routines Judges will give each of the following criteria a score between 0 and 10 with the average of the scores being the final result for that round, expressed as a number up to one decimal point, taking into account the following guidelines: Technical Aspects · Difficulty: The degree of difficulty of all moves and transitions. · Movement Skills: Ability to move vertical, horizontal and multiple rotations in a flat, back down, sideways, head up, head down or any other possible orientation. · Precision, Control: Ability of the performers to demonstrate body control skill or series of skills. · Team Work: The ability to combine technical skills of the performers to stay within close proximity of each other throughout the routine and/or create complex effects of movements.

The PAC750 is an awesome plane to jump!!! It's really fast. Do beach jumps definately only require a C license. I'll come just for that, it looks beautiful.

That sounds like normal boogie prices, not so bad. Everyone probably got weathered out at the Ranch this past weekend so are they might be staying for Nationals...

Shouldn't the USPA Nationals post be in under EVENTS???? Someone has it all wrong...
