New York CRW Record
September 7-9, 2001
by Jon Sikorski - Jon@dqnt.comThe Blue Sky Ranch is hosting a New York CRW Record September 7th, 8th and 9th. The locals purchased 12 lightnings last year after a successful training camp which saw the first 9-way diamond there. They are current and practicing crew regularly under the direction of Frank Fowler. They are hungry for a State Record! We will have 3 Otters. I expect to start off with 16-Ways on Friday, Sept 7th, then on to bigger and better on the 8th and 9th. The weather should be beautiful. We have a group of experienced Canadian Crew dogs attending as well. I could use a few diamond pilots to start things off small if you have the experience.
Airfares are low right now so book early. Stewart-Newburg (Southwest) is the closest. Albany is near, and Laguardia/JFK are 1.75 hours away. Call the DZ and see if Brooklyn can pick you up - he's a great guy and knows his way around the city to get you to the DZ or Airport on time and in one piece. Expect to do standard diamonds and starbursts for the record attempts. If we get a record early on, we'll go for large multiple pilot formations if we have the talent, and a low wrap-factor.
Everyone is welcome to party as hard as they can AFTER the jumps. Safety is going to be number one throughout the dives. No one gets axed, but everyone must have prior experience and a complete understanding of emergency procedures.
For those of you who haven't been to the Ranch, it's a great DZ with lots of live-in folks that are full of good vibes - it's going to be a good time! The record jump will be free according to DZ manager Guy Wright. |
