posted Jul 25th, 2012 - Not only the Karp Cup of the MidAtlantic Skydiving League was weathered out last weekend. Golden Knight Laura Dickmeyer also reported that the Carolina Skydiving League fell victim to the weather situation on the east coast of the United States.

The Southern California Skydiving League has not been much luckier during the complete first half of the 2012 season. Neither Skydive Elsinore nor Skydive Perris were able to pull off a successful meet so far. However, two more events are scheduled, and Dan BC expects the next one in Perris to bring back the west coast 4way magic. He recently announced the upcoming August meet and offers more information and help to recruit a lineup by e-mail:

"August 11 is now the first SCSL 4way meet of the season. Free coaching, free judging, no registration fees, just pay for your jumps and camera flyer. 4way pros Christy Frikken, Uli Stuewe and Hannah Betts will be available with tips and pointers. If you are training for the Nationals or just want to learn more about 4way you won’t want to miss it."

Dan BC's fascinating book "ABOVE ALL ELSE" is now available in the NSL Shop. At least he does not have the book project any longer on his list. The movie of the same story is still in the works, while he is also working out in the DZ fields.

One of his main events is the popular P3 POWER PLAY, where he invites 4way and 8way Formation Skydiving competitors and other highly skilled individuals to perform sequences of challenging bigway formations and maneuvers. The latest P3 POWER PLAY was recently completed in Perris, and Dan BC now prepares the next event in December.

The list of participants indicates the quality of the jumps, as the names are mostly well known in the Formation Skydiving competition community.

BOB DOMEIER, JIM REES, KEVIN VETTER, JONATHAN PERL, BRAD CURRY, PETE SCHARRER, DAVE WEST, SCOTT LEVY, DAN PILLASH, BECKY AUSTIN, STEPHANIE REED, MARIA KONOVA, ELLEN MONSEES, CHRISTY FRIKKEN, JOE WEBER, RICH DELGADO, BOB BONITZ, LISA WALKER, TOM REIMAN, JULIUS FRANK, DAN BC, GARY MACDONALD, SCOTT ELMER, SERGEY KHOMUK, TONY DOMENICO, JOHN PESCHIO, SCOTT LATINIS, BILL BINDER, BARRY CALVER, JOHN VERLEY, JOSEPH WOOD, THERESA BARON, RONAN WHELAN, STEVE BRIGGS, STACEY CURRY, JOOST LUIJSTERBURG, BECKIE THOMPSON, LAWRENCE WOBKER, SEAN WALSH, CELSO DEMELLO, GREG MIRKIN, HELAINE RUMANER, SIMON CATHRINE, PATRICK LEHNER, ANDERS MATTSON, PIYA NAVANUGRAHA, TRAVIS REMPEL, HANNAH BETTS, CATHY COON, MARIUSHKA LOVERA, BRUCE TRAVIS, DOUG FORTH, KELLY WOODS, MELISSA HARVIE, DIANE CHAMBERLIN

The concept is quite simple. Dan BC invites the skydivers who he knows are well trained and well skilled after going through the 4way and 8way drill with teams anywhere on the planet. The higher level of individual skills that comes with training for Formation Skydiving competition then guarantees a higher quality level for the bigways.

The whole story of this quality event begins with 4way training. Dan BC in Perris, as well as John Hamilton in Elsionre, offer a new generation of future Power Players to learn more about how to get there at the SCSL meets. The coaches and player coaches for the next upcoming August meet in Perris have been through the whole process and made it to the world class top level.

Christy Frikken and Uli Stuewe are former Perris Fury members. Hannah Betts won a gold medal in the female 4way category at the World Meet 2008 in Maubeuge, France. And then there is 4way and 8way Airspeed legend Dan BC...
