livendive 8 #1 September 16, 2004 A couple of us at Richland Skysports thought it would be fun to designate a weekend to invite Northwest jumpers in for some low-pressure RW before the cold weather arrives. Basically, we'd like to make some new friends in the 100-300 jump range (or so) and belly-fly with them. Folks who are not quite at 100 jumps yet but who have enough RW experience to stay with and safely track away from a 4-way are welcome, as are folks with more jumps provided they understand these jumps will be geared toward fun and basic skills, not block sequences or mega-points. We (Lee Silcox and I) intend to start with some relatively simple 4-ways and maybe increase the size or complexity of the jumps as appropriate for whoever shows up. This is not a coaching camp or geared toward competition, and there will be no boogie fee or specialty aircraft, just our normal 206 and Twin Bonanza. There will be plenty of fun to go around though, both in the air and in the evenings. When: October 23-24, 9 AM till sunset or beerlight, whichever comes first Where: Richland Skysports in Richland, WA You bring: Your own gear with in-date reserve Sufficient skills to safely play in 4-way formations (or larger) A positive attitude with priorities of safety first, fun second, and points third Proof of USPA membership Enough money to buy your own jump tickets, meals, etc (and your beer if you think you'll end up owing) We'll provide: A Cessna 206 and a Twin Bonanza Un-famous (possibly infamous) load organizing by Lee Silcox & Dave Todak, with others helping out as necessary A guarantee of great weather (guarantee limited to refund of the non-existent registration fee) Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Most likely the weather on the west side of these mountains will be too wet to jump. Guess its about time to come on over to the dryer side and meet some of the other Washington jumpers! Any idea how long it takes to get there from Snohomish on a Friday evening? Blue Skies, CindyCindy Life on earth may be expensive, but it includes a free trip around the sun!

Any idea how long it takes to get there from Snohomish on a Friday evening? It takes about 2-2.5 hours. We're almost an hour south of Vantage. Hope you make it over to play with us...we're gonna have some fun. Weather might be chilly enough to rate gloves, but usually stays nice till November. Feel free to drag some others with ya too!
