It was my first time to Moab, and the local jumpers made me feel very welcome. Ben and Chris were so kind to show me around the area for some local BASE jumping. The pilot, Dave, was super cool as well. Eli even organized a jump into Mineral Bottom for us. What a treat. Probably one of the most beautiful places I have had the privilege to jump into. I will definitely go back. And hopefully soon! :)

Do you want to have more fun flying your canopy? Are you having problems landing? Are you a novice jumper who wants to feel more confident under canopy? Or are you an experienced jumper who just wants to polish your skills and learn more about your canopy? You’ll learn about… Basic aerodynamics Effective flaring techniques Flight Planning Dealing with wind and turbulence Aerodynamic stalls and stall recovery Achieving the best glide The “Accuracy Trick” And more… The Essential Skills Course is a five-jump program with video debriefs and ground training sessions between each jump. The course is one full day of jumps and instruction. Slots are limited so sign up early! Call the Skydive Elsinore office directly to reserve your space. (951) 245-9939.

The show consists of three segments, and includes our house band, The Nouveaux Honkies! Guests include Canadian National Rock Climbing Team Member Andrew Calder, Flight1 Skydiving Team Members Jay Moledzki and Jessica Edgeington, and Velocity Sailing Team Members Trey Brown and John Casey.

Hey everyone, This Thursday is the last Elsinore Swoop Club session of the season. The weather looks perfect for this last event. If you’ve been coming out to previous events you know how much fun they are. If you haven’t made out this year at all, then this is your last chance. It’s been an incredible year with lots of different events like in-lane dragging distance, kicking beach balls, the high jump and freestyle. For this Swoop Club event, we’re going to set up the traditional distance course. The entry gates will be 5 foot gates set-up over the water. The name of the game is raw power. Get in the power-band and make the gates on each run and you’ll be swooping your way to victory. As always the event will be 3 rounds. No additional registration fees and FREE video debriefs and coaching with Jonathan Tagle. We meet at the pond at 8:30 am for the competitor briefing. Please be on time. After the event we will watch all the videos and debrief the runs. If you know you’re coming, please call the Elsinore office at (951) 245-9939 to let us know.
