dharma1976 0 #26 September 1, 2007 you will need to do the flag jump in order to get pro rating why dont you work on that first man, what everyone else here is saying will make a lot of sense once you start doing that Davehttp://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

You make 10 straight pre-declared stand-up landings in a 10 meter circle (or something like that) with witnesses that can sign off on them (S&TA, I/E, etc), pass a written test, and go through a check-list of demo issues with your S&TA."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #28 September 1, 2007 Billy, its been a while since you applied for the PRO. You have to do the 10 accuracy jumps, 1 jump with smoke, 1 jump with a flagrecieved instruction on ground crewing, ground crewed at least 1 jump and learn about the paperwork then take the test.

Ah, thanks. I've done all of the above, but only a dry run with smoke set-up on a practice demo, the actual smoke demo jump was cancelled. Glad to see the requirements have toughened.

bch7773 0 #30 September 4, 2007 I've actually done something similiar... my college stadium didn't allow jumps into the stadium, as they already had other actractions during pregame... usually a boring award ceremony for donaters so we did a demo into a soccer field outside the stadium during a paintball tourniment they were holding there. Its obviously a lot more open, and didn't require a PRO rating. Looking down into the nice big empty stadium under canopy sure tempted me though I think though your idea of landing outside the stadium on a demo won't work. People inside the stadium won't be interested in a tiny speck in the sky that never gets closer than 2000 feet. I'd say keep training, get your PRO, and then do demos at the games.

airtwardo 7 #31 September 8, 2007 Sounds like you're getting a lot of good advise here... The only thing I would add is if in fact the school is behind you in this, do a bunch of actual practice jumps on site without a crowd there...and jump 'exactly' what you would on a real demo...flag, smoke, rubber duck etc. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
