Freefly Jive Jam

For the 2008 season, local jumper Harry Parrish has revived the Freefly Jive Jams: weekend-long freefly skills events for intermediate to advanced freeflyers.

Jive Jams are shared across several Carolina dropzones, and Carolina Sky Sports has the pleasure of hosting 3 this season (see our calendar).

In Harry's own words..."With the addition of the Paraclete XP Tunnel in Raeford, NC and the influx of Freeflying talent that we are anticipating in the Carolina’s...Now is as good of a time as any to bring back Jive Jam. Jive Jam is a gathering of Intermediate and Advanced groups of freeflyers that meet several times in a season to work on challenging Freefly, VRW, or Big Way skills."

What it WILL be in 2008:
1) Getting Jive Jam back to it’s roots. The Primary Purpose is for Freeflyers of like capabilities jumping together and trying new challenges.

2) It is intended for Intermediate and Advanced Freeflyers Only.

3) A Chance for Advanced Freeflyers to give back to the sport and do Advanced Jumping.

4)A Chance for Intermediate Freeflyers to learn from the Advanced, and gain the skills necessary to take the next step.

5) It will have a year end goal of attempting a 20 Way (Or Larger), NC State Freefly Record.

6) Fun and Challenging for All.

What Jive Jam WON’T be in 2008:
1) It won’t be an Invitational Event: But be honest about your skill level. If you can’t fly your slot in a 3 Way Freefly jump and take clean docks, then Jive Jam is probably not for you. This is considered a minimum Intermediate requirement.

2) It won’t be a Beginners Skills Camp that offers Basic Freefly instruction.

3) There won’t be Organizer Slots, Fees or Discounts...No Frills...You Show Up because you want a challenge.
