Spaceland Transitions: 3 way Speed Star Competition 2.06 – 3.06. 2018
Ready to practice that dive and dock for bragging rights? Let’s do this!
Our June Transitions events for recent graduates (up to around 100 jumps) will focus on no-show (no-floater) exits where you dive down to your 3-way team’s coach/organizer as fast as you can for a smooth 3-way formation.
The event is timed over three rounds for fastest completion of the point; the team with the lowest score wins! Your coach will also plan a few points for afterward to keep things rolling after your hero swoop. 🙂
Prizes: TBA
RULES:
* Show time is by 8 am to be placed on a team. Teams of people arriving after 8 am may be allowed to compete, at the discretion of and with a proper offering to the meet director (Cory Kossan).
* Three rounds from normal jump altitude, formations to be drawn from the ones in the event photo
* Organizer dives out first and lays base (must have video to capture the docks)
* Time will be scored from exiting the plane of the door (as seen on organizer’s video) to completion of the formation
* Formation must be built within 35 seconds and held in control for at least 5 seconds to be scored (tagging on the way by doesn’t count 😉
* No grips allowed on exit
* No contact with anything but the floor of the plane (i.e., no leaning on the door before exit)
* Maximum score per round is 40 seconds
* Incorrect formations receive the maximum score
As usual, there is NO FEE for this Transitions event! Jumps are regular price.
Also: This is an ALL WEEKEND theme! The competition will only run Saturday, but our mentors will be working on dive and dock exits and perfecting your swoop like a beast, dock like a butterfly skills all weekend. 🙂 Or perhaps even floating up to the formation.
Good luck and safe swoops!
Spaceland Transitions: Organizing Successful Skydives 30.06 – 1.07. 2018
Everyone loves a successful skydive! When jumps go as planned, they are a ton of fun, you learn a lot, and there are major smiles everywhere. When they don’t, they range from “oh well” to dangerous.
As a newer jumper, chances are good that you’ve never organized more than one other person on a skydive. But you know you’ll be in that hot seat before long! How will you design a skydive for success?
Plan the dive, dive the plan!
You’ll need to consider the experience and skills of those jumping with you, design a dive with a good chance of success for those people, and know what details will help you all execute that dive so it goes even better than planned. 🙂
This Transitions weekend, we’ll spend the weekend helping you learn how to fly yourself and your friends out of the nest–it’s just as important of a skill as tracking or flaring!

Skydive Perris
One Step Up 2.06. 2018
Have you done several 40ish Ways and are ready to step it up a few notches?
Perris Organizers have designed this event for those who want just that.

As always the environment will foster fun, learning and laughter, but we are also aiming to do some very challenging jumps and everyone should come ready for all of the above!
If you’re not sure if you have the skill level necessary come jump with the Perris Organizers at other events or on any weekend and we’ll get you ready
We plan on making 5 jumps. Jump tickets or money on account plus $10 dollars for video.

FurtheranZe FS camp 9.06 – 10.06 2018
This will be the next camp in the ongoing series of FurtheranZe Formation Skydiving Skills camps.
There are still slots left. You can reserve a slot at this camp up until noon of the Thursday prior by following this link: https://bookings.burblesoft.com/index/53/22.
Once there, select the date(s) of your desired Camp(s) by clicking on them on the calendar, and follow the rest of the instructions to pay your registration.
Prerequisites to attend a camp are 200 freefall jumps, 100 of which are formation skydives.
Waivers to these prerequisites will be considered on a case-by-case-basis for very-well qualified applicants who have accumulated substantial coached flight time in a suitable wind tunnel, but are short of the jump totals required. Cost will be $40 registration fee for each day, six Skydive City jump tickets, and your share of your videographer’s service charges.
FurtheranZe camps are an excellent way to meet other skydivers who are interested in achieving more during their skydives.
They require less commitment than a traditional skydiving team, but may help you meet people you could form a team with.
FurtheranZe camps are NOT a substitute for basic flight coaching. They are a way to further develop your formation skydiving skills in a structured environment.
Teams can also join a FurtheranZe camp as a way to warm up for FSL Meets, or to receive coaching tailored to your team’s desires.
Cost will only be $40 registration fee per person for each day, and you can make as many jumps as you desire/can afford using your own videographer.

Skydive the Ranch
Waz Up Mix Up Boogie 2018 16.06-17.06
The Waz Up Mix Up is a boogie in honor of The Ranch AFF instructor Linda “Waz” Wasilonski.
Originally created as a fundraiser to help Linda defray the costs of her battle with lung cancer, the boogie takes a new track in 2018.
With her passing, The Ranch is honoring her legacy by fostering Linda’s passion for continuing education and progression in skydiving.
The Waz Up Mix Up will give you an opportunity to learn new skills and disciplines, regardless of how much experience you have in the sport.
Now, this ain’t your average rookie round-up. Whether you have 50 jumps or 1,000 – there is always something in the sky that is new to you. This event is your chance to get some quality, focused coaching in a safe and fun environment.
For every offered discipline, we’ll match a bad-ass sky ninja with small groups of 2-3 skydivers that have less experience/lower jump numbers in that discipline.
Is this boogie for you? YES! Maybe you have thousands of belly jumps but barely a dozen freefly jumps and want that stable sit. Maybe you’re a tunnel rat VFS baller who desperately wants to learn how to track.
Have you mastered head down but only have 10 wingsuit jumps and want to get flocking? Did you just get your A license and need to get those belly skills beyond your AFF? Even if you just feel lost in the crowd or intimidated by bigger boogies, we’ve got you covered. If there is something you want or need to learn – this IS the boogie for you!
The Waz Up Mix Up will also host some special events for advanced wingsuiters. Special WS organizers, airport-to-airport cross country jumps, flocking and stacking are just a couple more ways we’re going to mix it up.
Here’s what you get for your $55 registration fee:
• 8 “coach passes” that secure your opportunity to make 8 jumps with a Jedi knight of skydiving**
• Dinner and entertainment Saturday night
• A raffle ticket for Saturday night’s prizes – with random drawings all throughout dinner (must be present to win). Prizes include:
• Free registration for Waz Up Mix Up 2019, The Ranch SIS Boogie or TSK 2018 (WHAT DO WE WANT?)
• Cool ass T-shirts – TSK, Team Evil, Waz Up Mix Up
• Ordinary Charms necklace or discount on a custom piece of skydiving jewelry
• Discount on custom helmet graphics
• Bottles of Freefall Sangria
• Merch packages from Vigil, Vertical & PD
• Packer services
• GRAND PRIZE – all your Saturday jumps for FREE!!!!! (everyone present at dinner is eligible to win the grand prize – even if you already won a smaller drawing during dinner!)
But wait… there’s more! Available on-site for additional purchase during the boogie:
• 50/50 raffle tickets (everybody loves $$)
• Raffle tickets to win awesome prizes!! (place your tickets in the drawing you want to win – the more tickets you buy, the better your chance to win!)
• A first flight course or a FULL day of wingsuit coaching with Jim Bilodeau
• 15 minutes of tunnel coaching from Ryan of Team Evil
• 30% off base price, 15% off options on a container from UPT
• Discount on a wingsuit from Tonysuits
• 20% off base price of a container from Velocity Sports Equipment
• Canopy course with Sergey Fedotov – the Big Boy Russian Ninja
• We’re pretty sure there will be more as we go along….
• Additional “coach passes” (in case you want to do more than 8 jumps with your skygod)
• Saturday Lunch (we’ll have burgers and hot dogs, etc for purchase on-site to keep you jumping!)
• Sunday Brunch (coffee, coffee, COFFEE)
• Packers (can’t get your 10 lb canopy in your 5 lb container? pay someone to do it for you!)

Groups:
Only 40 slots are available for this camp. Flyers will be matched with organizers in groups based on their skill level (Rookie, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced).
Rookie (2 on 1): Rookie groups will be head-up jumps focused on the basics of freefly exits, approaches, staying on level and in slot, and safely breaking off. Participants must be competent and safe sit flyers. No head down flying experience needed.
Beginner (3 on 1): Beginner groups will be focused on building confidence while approaching, taking docks, and breaking off from head down jumps. Participants should feel comfortable taking head up docks, flying head down unassisted in the sky, and working on the basics of head down formation flying.
Intermediate (5 on 1): Intermediate groups will feature more intricate head down skydives with some mixed points and moving pieces. Jumpers should be able to approach, take grips, move in pieces, and break off from both a head down and head up orientation.
Advanced (8-12 ways): Jumps will have a little bit of everything – head up and head down moving pieces, gripped and ungripped transitions, eagles, carving around the formation, and whatever other fun stuff our organizers dream up! Let’s get creative! Take a break from record camps and join us for some awesome sequential flying!

Night Jumps 30.06. 2018
Expand your skydiving experience by coasting gently around the sky over the drop zone under canopy on a warm summer night and set down in a lighted landing area.
Completing two night jumps, one solo and one RW jump complete one of the D license requirements.
Prerequisites are a B license, an illuminated altimeter, a strobe light, cyalumes, and a jump at the dropzone during that day.
Strobe lights are about $20 and cyalumes are about $2. Both will be on sale in the office. Many of your member friends might loan you a strobe.
These jumps are setup by one of our Safety and Training Advisors who will perform a safety briefing before takeoff.
If you want to complete you B license we are offering a canopy course for the price of the jumps.
Come and jump with the Sky Knights!
If you are a skydiver and you are not ready, feel free to come, hang out, and see the process.
