amychmelecki 0 #1 February 21, 2005 Hello and thank you to everyone involved in the third annual freefly money meet at Skydive Arizona. Thank you to everyone who remained patient and kind while dealing with the bad weather and unfortunate circumstances surrounding the competition. To all the local skydivers who knew and loved Dr. Kenny, thank you so much for maintaining focus throughout the event. I know how hard it was, but every one kept a smile on their face and helped where ever I needed it. Your help was so important to me and the event would not have been a success with out you. To all the visitors, thank you very very much for understanding and accepting the early end to the competition. I recognize that many of you traveled a long way and I am so sorry we had to end things early. You guys were so cool for not getting upset or mad----thank you. During the awards ceremony I made some mistakes. I was very rushed and not focused. I am sorry. Below are the final standings. This event has doubled from 2003. I have a feeling it will continue to grow. I hope to see you all again next year. If anyone has any comments, criticism or suggestions on how to make the event better or different, I am all ears and would love to hear what you have to say. Please feel free to e-mail me. amychmelecki@hotmail.com Once again, thanks you to all of you!

fueler 0 #2 February 22, 2005 for a total newb.....how does the point system work?? Alex **************************************** what!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amychmelecki 0 #3 February 22, 2005 In each of five rounds you are randomly matched with a different partner of similar flying ability. Your partner in each round will be competing against you on other teams during the other rounds. A sequence of compulsory moves are drawn from the dive pool. Each round will have a different draw. You and your partner for that round gain one point each time you correctly perform a move in the order of the draw. A video pool camera flyer records the dives. Your score for each round is added up. The person with the highest score wins. If you would like to check out all the rules go to skydiveaz.com click on experienced skydiver then click on special events. The event is a great time.

supafly 0 #4 February 22, 2005 Thank YOU Amy!!! I had a great time and finally got a small taste of the competition jitters. You did a great job organizing especially given the nasty weahter and other circumstances. This sort of event gives someone like me (a relatively unexperienced freeflyer who wants to put together a team someday in the distant future) a chance to get their feet wet. Thanks again and you can bet I'll be there next year...and not just because Eloy is my home DZ You rock! --KeithArizona Drive 4-Way VFS - www.DriveVFS.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supafly 0 #13 March 1, 2005 Hey Dominic, good to hear from ya. Margy was going to compete, but ended up having to work the shop. She seems pretty serious about getting out there next year though. I bet she'll kick some ass. We got to make some jumps on Sunday and she was flyin' around on her little head. Great stuff!Arizona Drive 4-Way VFS - www.DriveVFS.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
