Payment: Link for payment will be sent via email for accepted applications.
Jumping info: The first two days of the event will be broken into small to mid-sized groups for training jumps. These will focus on safety and skill building before moving on to larger formations, as well as to determine each participant's best location in the formation. Since our tools for fall rate are greatly reduced in SANS flying, it is very important that we work out fall rates and where people will be able to fly their strongest. Record attempts will begin Saturday morning and go through 5:00pm on Sunday. Registration for the event does not guarantee a slot in record attempts! Decisions will be made by organizers based on skill/safety. There will be an additional organizer this year to continue skill building jumps with those that are not on a record attempt, with the goal of including as many people as possible by the end of the event. You must plan to be present and jumping for all 4 days.
Detailed money stuff: Thursday and Friday warm-ups will be regular altitude, 13.5k, at $35 (Otter) or $37 (Skyvan) per jump with 5 jumps planned per day. Saturday and Sunday record attempts will be $41.50 per jump to 14.5k with 4 jumps planned per day. The higher price for the attempts is due to the increased cost of running formation loads, utilizing specialty aircraft, and fuel for extra altitude. Any jumps not completed due to weather, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances are fully refundable or can be left on account at SDC. Registration fee is non-refundable.
Attire: SANS rules are that jumpers must be nude from neck to knee, and wrist to wrist. Socks and shoes are not only allowed, but highly encouraged - they can make a surprising amount of difference in your flying! Helmets, gloves, weight belts, and belly bands are all acceptable. Shorts will be required to be worn over rigs until close to altitude and when walking around the DZ.
Accommodations : Several camping options are available on the DZ. Please click the link for options and reservations. https://skydivechicago.com/campground/
