Any applications or correspondence mailed to the old address in Alexandria, Virginia are now being returned to sender rather than forwarded to USPA in Fredericksburg. Be sure anything you mail to USPA has the new address: USPA 5401 Southpoint Centre Blvd. Fredericksburg, VA 22407 I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

  13. Skydive DeLand, Florida, will host a party October 27 for renown freefall photographer/movie-maker Norman Kent, where he will be presented USPA's 2006 Gold Medal for Meritorious Service. Kent’s credits include movies such as "Drop Zone” and “Terminal Velocity,” award winning commercials for Coca-Cola and Visa, and TV credits that include two Olympic opening ceremonies. His work within the sport has been featured in Parachutist magazine countless times, as well as every significant skydiving publication in the world creating some of the sport’s most iconic images. Kent's Gold Medal reads, "For nearly 30 years of contributions to skydiving and the USPA. Norman’s work has put the highest artistic touch on images of our sport that have been seen by millions."

  16. From the USPA web site. At its meeting earlier this year, the USPA Board of Directors named Jim Wallace as one of the recipients of the 2006 Gold Medal for Meritorious Service. Wallace, who started jumping in 1970, has accumulated more than 18,000 jumps and 300 hours of freefall time. Along with his wife, Gail Sims, he owns and operates the Jim Wallace Skydiving School at the Perris Valley Skydiving Center in Southern California. Wallace holds every skydiving license and rating available and teaches skydiving in all disciplines. As a member of the Screen Actor’s Guild, he’s been a stuntman in several movies, including “Point Break,” “Navy Seals” and “Terminal Velocity.” He was a member of the 1975 U.S. Team that competed at the first World Parachuting Championships of Relative Work in Warendorf, West Germany. The handsome medal, framed in cherry wood, reads, “In recognition of almost 40 years dedicated to the skydiving community, and especially USPA, with boundless energy and enthusiasm as an instructor, demonstration jumper, U.S. Team member, and movie stuntman.” USPA President Glenn Bangs and other local skydiving dignitaries will be on hand during the POPS 120-way record attempts October 6 in Perris to make the presentation.

  23. Chris Needels is the only USPA Executive Director to have been a Golden Knight, it's not a requirement. When Jerry Roulard was hired as Executive Director Chris Needels had also applied for the job and didn't get it. Just trying to keep it real. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
