Open competitions in feb/marts?

[vibeke 0]

Our 4way team is planning tunnelcamp and training in either feb. or marts. I got the idea, that it could be great fun to plan our camp while theres a competition, so that we could include this in our training.

But is there open competitions at that time, in Florida?!
We are training in Orlando´s Skyventure and on DeLand. Is there anything relatively close by?

Can anyone tell me, if it is possible to participate if your a danish team?

Can anyone tell me (given there is a competition near by, and we are allowed to participate) what the registration fee / participation costs might be?

In advance thank you!

Keep your eye on http://www.skyleague.com/. The 2004 season is'nt over yet so 2005 dates are'nt set yet. The Shamrock Showdown is in March around St. Patrick's day so you might be able to figure that out. You'd compete in what ever level you want to

I have a group of people going for tunnel training during the Shamrock showdown weekend next March.

The problem? - Lots of the good coaches won't be able to help out in the tunnel that weekend since they'll be working with the teams they are already coaching or participating in.

But I'd assume you are looking to be there more than just a weekend...... So contact the Florida Skyleague director (Kurt) and I'm sure he'll give you the info you need.

Ok, sounds as if it could be possible to compete in the Shamrock Showdown. Ill send Kurt of skyleague a mail.

We will probably take 14-16 days, as we are doing 12 hours and need a bit of real freefall as well to take what we have learned in the tunnel into practice in the air. And will probably want a few days off as well, to enjoy the weather in Florida. Didnt get to see Daytona Beach last time...

Im not too worried on the coaches beeing pre occupied, we will plan around it. And maybe even bring our own coaches. Havent desided on that one yet.

Thanks for your answers

If you are on the West Coast, with the Perris Tunnel, keep an eye out for the Valentines meet at Eloy. It is the first major competition of the season. Also, with US Nationals very early in 2005, the Southwest Skydiving League will start early. You can ask Kurt or the SSL league director about this. Its a bit of a drive to Eloy from the Perris Tunnel, but doable. Given your stay, you might be able to catch the Shamrock and the Valentines meet AND fly both tunnels.

Very tempting to see the Perris tunnel as well as Eloy. Having heard and read about it. However, it would require substantial additional funds

But thak you very much for your input! I will be sure to investigate the possibilities.
