It is.

We only need one jump to judge for the competition. If there is a complete weather day, we will reschedule on the morning of the comp. If there is any chance of jumping we will be waiting the weather out. Those who want to practice can practice on Saturday when I get to the DZ and set up the course. I will be taking the course down at the end of the day so that the course materials will not be damaged by leaving them out in the elements.

The first competition for the Colorado CPC will be held this Sunday the 23rd of April at Mile Hi Skydiving Center. Saturday the 22nd will be used as a practice day. The course will be set up by noon on Saturday for practice runs. There will be a competitors / judges meeting in the canopy control classroom in the packing hangar on Sunday morning at 8:30am sharp. The cost of the first meet will be $100 plus jumps. Please have cash ready as I will not accept checks, money orders, paypall, Canadian quarters or negotiable / non-negotiable verabonds. $50 of this entry fee will be sent to the CPC headquarters. The other $50 will be used to pay for judges, and recoup my expense for purchasing and building the course. There will be no exceptions on the entry fees. The cost for the six jumps must be paid to manifest prior to the competitors / judges meeting. Please do not be late to this meeting, as the rules, regulations, and course setup will only be covered once. I highly suggest you bring the following items to add to your comfort level: 1. Sunscreen as we will not be travelling back and forth to the packing hangars. 2. Drinking water as there are no facilities near the pond that have potable water. The pond is about as dry as a moon crater right now. 3. A packing mat as it is rather dusty out by the course. A ground tarp would be a good idea if you have one. 4. All of the packing materials that you may need to include rubber bands, closing loops, pull up cords, RDS supplies or anything else that you may need. 5. Lunch as we will not be stopping the competition for chow. 6. If you have a personal shade structure you may erect it out by the course as long as it does not interfear with the days operations. A foldable chair might be a good idea too, so that you do not have to sit on the dirt. Those were just a few items I found to be nice to have last year. This years competition focus is on safety with an emphasis on proper technique. Be prepared to have a good time, learn quite a bit about yourself and your canopy, and to see a side of swooping you may never have experienced before if you have not competed in the past. If you have any questions please feel free to pm me here on DZ.com, or find me out on the DZ on Saturday. Grant

I'm glad things have evolved over the past couple of years.

Don't fly with your tonge out either... You could bite it off, and they would have to find it and sew it back on like John Bobbit's Penis. Wouldn't that just suck?

They may not be near there, but the Point is pretty cool man.

Don't fly angry dudes.

Sucks to be you..

That's my slider.

It's to much land to build a fence across the northern border. We just have to keep you Canadian potheads out. YOu know what happens when you come down here. You go and buy a bunch of guns, and wear cowboy boots and turn republican on us.

Do you get hot packing your canopy in the sun? Does your canopy show dirt more than other colored canopies? You look stealthy in all that black. NINJA SWOOPER!

What the ALIEN being called Shitmel that must be destroyed is trying to say... "Dude, Chill out for a few jumps. I know swooping and small canopies are fun, but you really need to hone your skills on a bigger wing, as it will help you emensly later on. Look at Ian Bobo and those other PD dudes. They did many many jums on bigger canopies. This allowed them to really focus on things because they were happening much slower. All of the concepts are pretty much the same, but with a bigger canopy things happen slower and you can learn more. AS for the slider thing, you are fucking up by the numbers. DO NOT CONTINUE TO STOW YOUR SHIT THAT WAY. YOur a young dude and we want to see you become an olde dude. Just pull your slider down like the rest of humanity and collapse it. stowing it on your chest strap doesn't give you any more performance. TRUST ME I KNOW THIS. Shitmelll" The mispelled words are actually part of the translation. Shimel, you owe me $10 for this translation service. I can accept payment in cash, money order, non-negotiable Verabonds, or you can send me two viagra pills, as that is what I take to be able to translate shimelspeak. I will be MARKS official translator from now on, but it will come at a price. Grant

any1, asshole 2, some1 Sometimes modern english just does not cut it in an intellectual conversation.

AS with any system there are pro's and con's. I choose the removable slider set up over the ball and band (sounds like an S&M thing doesn't it?) because of the potential of it not releasing in a slow speed environment. Yes a wrap is the last place any one of us want to be, but the hazards can be mitigated with proper emergency procedures. Personally I don't foresee myself getting into a wrap but none of us really do (CRW people excepted). When and if the time comes I want there to be as little hindrance of removing myself from the malfunctioning abortion as possible. There are con's to using the removable slider, such as improper installation. You can do this with a regular collapsible slider, and have catastrophic openings. Paying attention can alleviate the potential of setting the removable slider up improperly. This can also alleviate many other packing malfunctions. Yes over time your removable slider can wear just like the collapsible slider can wear out (the material over the draw strings can wear, and the draw strings on the collapsible can start to not keep the slider collapsed), but proper gear maintenance and inspection should catch this prior to failure. We bitch at the people who try and get one more jump out of their worn closing loops, why don't we bitch at those who are jumping shitty line sets, or worn out sliders? What ever we choose to jump is our own personal opinion, and I'm not going to say the removable slider is best for everyone. It just works for me, and that is why I jump it. I will tell you the pro's and con's of the system and why I choose to jump it, but you must make up your own mind about your gear choices and then live (or die) with that choice.

I could never hold a slider with my mouth. I would drool to much on it. hahaa Just like th eball and rubber band thingy it's not cool to have your slider attached to you or your rig when you have to cut away low from a wrap. The removable slider is the way to go, just be carefull when you pack it. Grant

joe benette maks a great setup IE Skyworks rigging.

No, that's just Stu re-entering the atmosphere from said roundhouse kick. Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.

The bottom picture is what happens if you are roundhouse kicked by Chuck Norris in the middle of a swoop.

Search the forum. Then Google skyworks rigging.

We are looking for judges for this season of the CPC. If you are interested in getting paid to get a tan and watch some amazing swoops, please get in touch with me.

Not that I know of.

I'm going to have to say no on the judging and competing. I will only allow that in extreme circumstances, but for now you either jump or compete. I will be out at the DZ on Saturday, so we can talk then about it. The judges will be paid this year.

Are we getting a little too sensitive in our old age? Nope. Just laying down the law.

Judges will be paid this year. If there is any left over it will be distributed to winners. Any accusations of me "Linning my pockets" are unfounded and will not be tolerated. We will not have the same abortion that we had last year with members of the CPC district questioning the integrity of the organizers. Don't complain, and if you don't like how we are running it then don't compete. That is all.
