Atlanta Skydiving Center - Team One Gearing Up for “Good Vibes Boogie” March 25th-27th


Atlanta Skydiving Center jumpers laid sod around the swoop pond last week in anticipation of the first Atlanta Skydiving Center swoop meet of the year during the “Good Vibes Boogie” March 25th-27th. Swooper, Tyler Lawson, will host the meet. Get ready to show off your swooping skills at the Atlanta Skydiving Center pond!

Team One posted flyers about the upcoming boogie around the drop zone last weekend as the freefly team will be organizing and coaching all weekend long. SunMan and Michael B. will use footage from the boogie for a “Good Vibes” video. Make sure you are a part of the video!

Atlanta Skydiving Center’s Super Twin Otter and King Air will fly all weekend long during the March boogie. Experienced skydivers will get $12.50 lift tickets to 14,000 feet. In addition to the free organizing/coaching from Team One, the $15 registration fee gets you the cheap lift tickets as well as dinner and beer on Saturday night.

Weather limited last weekend’s Valentine’s Weekend Boogie to three days of jumping as Monday was rained out. But we had absolutely beautiful weather on Saturday! Brian Ward made his 400th jump on a tracking dive with Team One. Autumn had her first malfunction, followed by a perfect reserve opening packed by Blythe Jordan of Chutingstar.

Bryan McGuigan returned from a week trip to Eloy to jump with TJ Landgren followed by a week in Florida to work on canopy skills with Scott Miller. Chutingstar registered a save in Florida when McGuigan cutaway from line twists. The beer fridge is now stocked at the rigging loft!

Congratulations to Blythe, who had her photo of Kenny Pugh swooping the deck at Atlanta Skydiving Center, featured as the “Photo of the Month” at www.canopypiloting.com. Check out the photo above the window of the Skydivegear.com store inside the ASC building.

Four Atlanta Skydiving Center jumpers are working on their Accelerated Free Fall ratings this week as USPA President Glenn Bangs is in town for the certification course. Make sure you give some encouragement to the candidates this weekend, as the jumpers will be working to pass the air evaluation jumps with Glenn and Fast Eddie Grantland. Edvaldo Cruz, Aaron Teel, Katie Hawkins and Henry Schaefer are all vying to become Accelerated Free Fall instructors!

Finally, all of you Neptune owners should see Blythe, our Alti-2 Field Representative, for the latest software update. Alti-2 says the update to version 2.3.1 will eliminate all known software bugs. The update doesn’t take long and it is free, but due to the volume of Neptune altimeters at Atlanta Skydiving Center, you may need to leave your Neptune with Blythe and pick it up the next time you are out.

Don’t forget about the $15 jumps every Wednesday at Atlanta Skydiving Center! See you all this week.
