So you my be wondering why we have a schedule for the organized jumps to be made? Its one of the secrets of SkyFest, this is how we accomplish many things in such a small amount of time. i wont go into all the details oh how affective this can be for so many areas, but I will discuss what it does for the jumpers experiencering SkyFest. It assists us in providing the right amount of experienced jumpers for the success and safety of the dives. For example; if we have 4 LO's assigned to doing SCR's for the new jumper (first 8 way) and we also have a couple of 20, 30 + ways going on then there becomes a battle for the experienced jumpers.  Thus leaving many dives short handed and unsuccessful, and more importantly it leaves the newer jumper without anyone to jump with.  We hope to accomplish several things by working with the newer jumpers the first couple of days into the event.  One is to make sure that everyone has a chance to take advantage of the knowledge and experience of our sponsred LO.  Basically we are offering you "free" coaching, an opportunity to grow in group sizes while removing the pressures of what  a first 8 way may do the psychi of the new ones.  Second; we hope to spend enough time ith you that by the time the event "peaks" on Friday and Saturday, you will have obtained more knowledge and confidence to be able to assess the situations that arise when you have multiple AC dropping bodies non stop for 10 hours.
