If you weren't here on Saturday night for Ribfest, you missed one of the best parties of the year. Special thanks to Eric Bickel, Andy Metcalfe, Drew, and neighbor Randy for making it such a great event. Considering we only put up 6 loads on Saturday, we had a huge turn out for the party and everyone stuck around for one of the biggest Sundays we've ever had here. 29 loads and very busy with tandem and solo students. With 8 in the Freefall U ground school on Sunday, we were very busy with solo jumps. Congratulations to our new AFF instructors who received their AFF ratings on Sunday and were immediately put to work.

The Midwest Skydiving League competition was postponed to Sunday morning due to the poor weather on Saturday. Only 4 teams made it back for the Sunday comp, but everyone had a great time. Congrats to everyone who competed!

We have been on several demonstration jumps over the past few weeks. Last weekend, we were contracted by Arlington Park to jump into the Arlington Million. Great job guys! Speaking of CRW, if anyone is interested in doing some canopy relative work, Andy Metcalfe would like to put together a skills camp. For more details, please contact Andy at chicagoandy@gmail.com

This Sunday morning is water training. Don't forget that water training is required for your B license. Contact Manifest to reserve your slot. Please meet at the DZ by 8:00am - $20/person.

Every Wednesday - $17 Experienced Jumps

Every Friday - FAC with John and KO

Don't forget that this upcoming weekend is the $250 All-You-Can-Jump Boogie. Your chance to see how many jumps you can do from 7:30am on Saturday until sunset on Sunday. Please remember this event is for licensed skydivers with their own equipment. One rig only. No double manifesting.
