Psycho Cirkus wins first stop in North East On to Cross Keys!! August 29 - Lebanon, Main - The first stop of the SSI Endorsed North East Double Header wrapped up among the dense pine forest of Southern Maine early Sunday morning. A total of six teams with competitors from as far away as California, France and Germany took part.
In Freefly, the Lake Elsinore, CA based Psycho Cirkus made their pro debut in convincing style by running away from the rest of the five team field. They won with smooth and consistent flying, posting a meet high score of 92.3 in the fourth round.Immediately after the meet at Skydive Lebanon, many of the Teams began gearing up for the second stop of the SSI Endorsed North East Double Header this upcoming weekend, Sept 4-5, at Skydive Cross Keys near
Philadelphia, where $5,000 in cash PLUS prizes will be awarded. [see below]
The two SSI Endorsed Xperience events that make up the "North East Double
Header" are designed to offer new and/or established freefly and skysurf
teams with a fun and unique opportunity to compete, learn and take home
some cash over two successive weekends. Both events use SSI Pro Rules for Skysurfing and Freeflying, which feature ALL free routines, NO compulsories. Both events will feature an SSI Judge, one of the very same pro level judges who scored the world's best teams at the '99 SSI Open and the '99 X Games.
Both events offer Pro and Amateur categories and are open to anyone
meeting the SSI safety and proficiency guidelines. Pro class competitors
are eligible for Official SSI Sky Points, good toward recognition among
the top pro Skysurfing and Freeflying teams in the world.Immediately following the Cross Keys competition is the Monkey Claw Freefly Jam, for all levels of freefly fun. For more event details, pix and videos go http://ssiprotour.com. |
