flyangel2 2 #9 March 20, 2005 QuoteWhat are the requirements to be a registered skydiver at the convention? To be registered as a "skydiver" with that wristband you need to have at least 50 current freefall skydives. This does not require a "license" but expect some additional scutiny at registration if you don't. These 50 freefalls must be current and properly logged! USPA licenses are encouraged. This policy was established because of those outside the US not having jump numbers identical to USPA for a particular license. 50 freefalls is about the same experience as a USPA "B" license holder and what we feel is enought experience to be in the air with a number of jumpers. Those with fewer than 50 freefalls must register as a "student" skydiver and must jump under the supervision of the student training vendor, and pay whatever they are charging. We encourage lower experienced jumpers to seek out the Convention Load Organizers in Tent 3 for a few jumps to provide an orientation. http://www.freefall.com/faq.htmMay your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

BRYANGOESBOOM 0 #10 March 20, 2005 so no B required but at least 50 jumps ill have that soon enough im wondering now how much $$ do you really need to have a freaking blast when you go to WFFC? should i start saving now??

flyangel2 2 #11 March 20, 2005 Bring lots and lots of money. You can never have enough. If you have the 50 skydives, why not get your B license? If you don't have that license in hand, make sure your log book is done correct, and it also helps if there is someone who has a JM rating with you when you are checking in.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

gravityizsexy 0 #13 March 20, 2005 Quoteso no B required but at least 50 jumps ill have that soon enough im wondering now how much $$ do you really need to have a freaking blast when you go to WFFC? should i start saving now?? Nuff, with the excuses....., pack your camp gear and prepare to make moves... I wish I could go, unfortunatley I'll be out of the country. Your so lucky... However, I suggest reading the document in the Safety board (I think thats where its at) on ethical boogie practice and the safety aspects of jumping at boogies. (Landing can get overwhelming at times) so your best bet is to make sure you go prepared and in a cool state of mind. Blues, -Tony P.S. - Bring your digi, cause I want pictures damnit!

Amazon 7 #14 March 20, 2005 QuoteThis summer I might hit LP before heading to SDC KEWL.... You could finally get to jump with me and see how fast I fall LP is the whole last week of July and ends on the 1st of Aug.. then you have a few days to drive over to IL and hit WFFC.. The airplanes form Skydive AZ leave Lost Prairie and go on to WFFC. Edited to Add. LP requires an A license...and you can bang out just as many jumps as you can stand there...

GoatBoy 0 #17 March 20, 2005 Quotewhat is lots?? like range of $500-$1000 or more Depends on how many jumps you want to do and what specialty jumps. I would recommend at least 500, I usually spend about 750 at the convention. I do not do a ton of jumps there however, I'm usually too hung over everyday.
