\"Curt<\/p>\n

Skydive Sebastian is known for the beautiful aerial views afforded by its close proximity to the intercostal and the beaches.\u00a0 Both the dropzone and the local town have great atmosphere and a great tropical party feel.\u00a0 The most beautiful view the canopy pilots of the FLCPA were concerned about at the beginning of the 2016 season was the brand new shiny pond the dropzone built over the winter.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pilots showed up from all over the US and even a handful of international competitors came to check out the new pond.\u00a0 There were 50 competitors total among the Pro and Amateur classes.\u00a0 The new pond was built very well, natural feeling with no liner, grass growing down the banks that are very smooth on the exit.\u00a0 Competitors started showing up as early as the Monday before the comp. Heavy storms over the weekend had left a little bit of flooding to the landing area surrounding the pond.\u00a0 Competitors trained as best as they could and utilized the exciting new facility.\u00a0 Curt Bartholomew was the league coach the Friday before the comp.\u00a0 He was out at the pond all day giving everyone tips and coaching as they landed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday saw a 7 am wheels up.\u00a0 The winds had dropped off considerably, and there was only a light headwind the day of the comp.\u00a0 The previous day was similar conditions but much stiffer winds.\u00a0 The first jump was the mandatory practice round for all competitors and the Ams were first up.\u00a0 A low cloud base meant a fairly low exit altitude of just under four thousand feet, with two to three competitors exiting per pass.\u00a0 Everyone eagerly felt out the conditions.\u00a0 Unfortunately, on the very first round, Jeannie Bartholomew had a cutaway on her new 64 Peregrine.\u00a0 The winds blew it across the river and the dz staff went on the search.\u00a0 It was difficult to find, so she had to grab her other rig with a different canopy she uses for freestyle.\u00a0 This meant she had done zero training on for these types of events on that wing, not an easy thing for a competitor. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first round saw Jay Sanders getting a good score, Tommy Dellibac threw down a 91 on Zone Accuracy.\u00a0 Curt came through and popped up high, stalling his canopy into the box.\u00a0 It was judged as a 96, and even Curt thought he had stepped back a bit into another zone.\u00a0 The judges double-checked and caught a small misunderstanding of the newer judges with the new Zone Acc scoring rules, Curt was given the perfect 100 that his video also confirms.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t a bad way to start the season!\u00a0 The first meet of the year means any rule changes are implemented, which can be confusing for judges, organizers, and competitors alike.\u00a0 Luckily, the FLCPA boasts some of the best judges worldwide.\u00a0 Just after everyone landed from the first round, a bird flew into the DZ transformer and the power went down.\u00a0 This meant no fuel for the Otter.\u00a0 A few people thought they saw Jeannie throwing her shoes at the transformer hoping to get her beloved 64 back in time, but a poor crispy bird was actually to blame.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The action resumed and Jeannie got on with her re-jumps.\u00a0 She struggled in the first round as it was her first attempt at Zone Acc with that wing.\u00a0 She turned it around and landed in a great zone on the second jump, just slipping and going past the box to lose a few points.\u00a0 Jay landed another consistent run in the same zone, putting up at the sharp end of the field.\u00a0 Curt came in and stomped out a (much smoother) perfect 100.\u00a0 The other Pros put up some impressive scores.\u00a0 The field moved onto Distance with Curt leading and taking 1st Place in the Zone Accuracy event with a sizeable gap, followed by Tommy Dellibac and Jay Sanders.<\/p>\n

\"Performance<\/p>\n

The Distance event was also in a headwind, so the runs weren\u2019t super far but the top pros pushed as hard as they could.\u00a0 Jeannie got her head in the game and put up two very impressive distance runs on a very big canopy at a very light loading, both factors working very much against her.\u00a0 She pushed very hard and kept up with the wing loadings well over half a point heavier.\u00a0 Jay Sanders had the farthest run of round one followed by Curt a meter or so shy.\u00a0 Marcos Darman, an Alter Ego Project instructor was also putting up strong scores in both events and had great Distance runs to push himself up towards the front of the field.\u00a0 The clouds dropped even lower during the Distance event, some loads exiting from only 3,500 ft.\u00a0 Competitors exited one per pass for spotting and separation safety.\u00a0 They kept the comp moving smoothly and made it happen.\u00a0 The second round of Distance saw some heavy hitters get some zeros, dropping both Tommy Dellibac and Jay Sanders down the field.\u00a0 Curt put up the best run of the second round, sealing a 1st place finish is Distance as well as extending the gap to second place up to 50 points.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There was a lunch break to change the course to Speed.\u00a0 During the break, the amazing staff had found Jeannie\u2019s Peregrine, after Curt had spotted it earlier from the plane.\u00a0 They had spent hours out in the brush trying to locate her missing baby.\u00a0 Jeannie, along with the whole team, would like to extend a huge heartfelt thank you to them for their hard work!\u00a0 Jeannie was quick to inspect her canopy, get it hooked up and packed in time for Speed.\u00a0 The first round of that event saw some great runs throughout the field.\u00a0 Jeannie felt a lot more comfortable on her canopy and went to work.\u00a0 Pablo from the factory team, along with teammate Tommy Dellibac put up some very strong scores.\u00a0 Marcos and Curt also finished the meet strong, Curt making it a perfect day by ending Speed in 1st place as well.<\/p>\n

\"Jeannie<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my first perfect Zone Acc meet with two 100s in two rounds. I thought I got a 96 on the first round but after seeing the scores and looking at the video it was one of the craziest 100s ever after stalling the canopy sideways into the box. Love my Comp Velo! I am super proud of my wife Jeannie for coming back strong after a cutaway on the first round. She put in a different sized canopy and still put up some strong scores!\u201d<\/em>

#Results<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Congrats to Rory Agundez in the Am class for his first ever (BEER!) victory.\u00a0 Johnny Gunn ended in 2nd after a late zero dropped him out of the lead.\u00a0 Danny Feltner got his first podium finish in 3rd.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Curt was on the top of the box in the Pro Class, starting the season with a perfect Gold sweep of the meet and the 1st Overall finish, Pablo Hernandez took home the Silver and the 2nd place, and Justin Price rounded out the bronze in 3rd. Jeannie fought her way to 14th out of around 30 Pros even without her competition wing. <\/p>\n

“FLCPA Meet 1 was a huge success and a great start to the 2016 season. I couldn’t be happier. 50 competitors with many of the world\u2019s best all the way to those out for their first swoop meet. No injuries, good safe piloting, no lost parachutes, a new pond in Florida, and only one dead squirrel. I’m exhausted today, but I’ll be exhausted with a big smile. Thanks to everyone who helped make it all happen.\u201d<\/em>
\nAlbert Berchtold<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There were smiles all around as the comp finished and the competitors started having a few hard-earned beers.\u00a0 The judges and meet organizers did a great job making the best of the weather, utilizing the lighter winds when we had the chance.\u00a0 The start of the season was a great success at a beautiful new location.\u00a0 The next meet is right around the corner, the competitors have a lot of work as the level rises each year, with some of the best in the world regularly attending the FLCPA.<\/p>\n
