1/24/2008
Lisa, Melissa, and I are busy working on our 2008 marketing plans. It's a year-round job to promote our little seasonal business. Truthfully, it's hard for us to get too excited about jumping when it's -15 degrees outside. So, it makes us feel better when we post images of people skydiving and having fun in Mexico!
Everyone had a great time at Dave & Buster's a couple of weeks ago for a CSC (Chicagoland Social Club) outing. We are hosting another one tonight (Thursday) at Hooters in Downers Grove at 6:30pm followed by drinks at The Bamboo Room in Lombard. We are celebrating several staff birthdays tonight. Happy birthday to Lisa, Melissa, Shea, and Jason!
Speaking of Chicagoland Social Club outings - our next one is scheduled for Thursday, February 28th at Whirleyball in Chicago. If you've never played, you're missing out! Plus, this outing is downtown, so you have no reason not to join us!
CSC Rhythm has been busy this winter setting up their schedule, training in the wind tunnel, planning events, and working with their new sponsors. Rhythm will be training at CSC this season along with some great events designed to help up-and-coming jumpers learn more about competitive 4-way formation skydiving. Stay tuned to the website for details.
If you would like to join Rhythm at their downtown team bungalow, they will be hosting an event on Saturday, March 1st for people interested in learning more about team training. The main point is for anyone who would like to talk about 4-way, meet people interested in 4-way, or look for possible teammates. Even if you have no interest in 4-way, but would like to learn more about the events planned for the season, or just want an excuse to get out and talk with other skydivers. Contact steve@cscrhythm.com for more details.
CSC Rhythm Tunnel Camp - March 29 & 30
Looking for a way to brush up on your skills before the season starts? Or just want a break from the cold? Join us at the largest, most powerful wind tunnel in the world - Paraclete XP in Raeford, NC.
CSC Rhythm is organizing a trip to the Paraclete XP March 29 and 30. RW/belly coaching from Rhythm is included in the already discounted camp rates. We can tailor our coaching to whatever you'd like to work on most. For experienced flyers, we can also do 4 way, either 2 on 2 or with 3 members of Rhythm and you. If you want to just take advantage of the discounted rate, freefly, or get other coaching, we can arrange that as well.
Costs:
We're selling time in 15 minute blocks, so you can decide how much you want to do. Make your reservation early and save!
For the first 6 hours we fill, the rate is $850/hr (that's $14.15 per minute of freefall):
After the first 6 hours are filled, the rate is $950/hr. (that's $15.83 per minute of freefall):
*CSC Rhythm coaching is included in all costs. If you'd like freefly coaching, or other coaching, it will be at an additional cost, based on the coach.
Travel:
Flights: For those coming from Chicago, DO NOT BOOK FLIGHTS YET -- we are working on a great deal on flights. We'll have more details soon. For others, Fayetteville is closest, but Raleigh/Durham (RDU) is usually the most convenient direct flight.
Hotel: The tunnel has a special rate at the Comfort Inn Cross Creek for $70/night. Call (910) 867-1777 to make a reservation and mention the Paraclete XP Tunnel Rate and CSC Rhythm.
How to book your slot:
A $50 deposit is all you need to reserve your slot, and lock in the cheaper rate. Your deposit will apply 100% towards the tunnel cost. Deposits are due by March 7th.
We have already had a lot of interest, and expect it to be a fun crowd. Come join us! If you have ANY questions, feel free to email me at janette@cscrhythm.com
