Show Two SKYDIVING IfYouDrink... Dont Jump by Faye Hadley Contrary to general opinion, sky divers are not 'crazy nuts who jump out of airplanes.' They view their sport in the same serious light as a golfer out to Improve his score. Zeroing in on a six inch disc from a height of 7500 feet requires practice, coordination and perfect physical condition. They dont dive with a hangover or 'Touch of the flu.' Health and mental clarity are musts with no room for day dreaming on the way down. Utter concentration goes toward perfecting the drop. Members of the Alta Sport Parachute Club proved their abilities in Denver over the Memorial Day weekend by bringing home the trophies from conference championships at the Memorial Day Classic competition. Hope was pinned cm Johann Baker. He lived up to it by placing first in advanced accuracy and first in overall Jumping. Then teamed with Larry Boyd and Daryl Galloway, the baton was passed for third place in the advance team division. Larry Boyd took second place in the advance accuracy Lew Hatch, who travels from and second in over-a- ll. Vernal every weekend to jump at the Alta Air Park, placed second in novice accuracy. Representing the Alta Club as the single female participant, Karyl Alvoid swamped the womens division, collecting trophys for first in accuracy, first in style and The winners all qualify as first in womens over-al- l. contenders at the national tournament in Oklahoma mer. Karyl will not attend Ms year. In spite of her good at the conference, she is a relative newcomer to the sport with only 75 Jumps to her credit. At the Nationals she would be competing with women who have made 200 or more drops and she feels more experience is required before entering the U.S. meet What about accidents? Of the 40 full time members and many part time participants with the club, oily one or two minor injuries are recorded a year. These usually involve the ankles and are a direct result of landing mistakes made by the jumper. There has never been a fatality at Alta and stories of unopened chutes are exaggerated. The death of a diver at Sky Haven in North Salt Lake, this year, can be attributed to his own error. If the main parachute opens improperly the reserve must be thrown out away from the body to prevent itisbecoming entangled in the shrouds of the first The diver in this case failed to do so and the second chute fouled in the collapsed first and did not open. In accuracy tests contestants aim for a 10 meter pea gravel circle surrounding a six inchdisc. They are judged on proximity to the disc and disqualified upon landing in the dirt bordering the gravel. With remarkable precision, experienced jumpers consistently land in die magic circle. By manipulating toggle lines the direct course and drift and slow or speed their rate of descent. Free style trophies are awarded cm the basis of form and correct execution of loops and turns in free fall. Two years ago the National Parachute Championships were held at Alta Air Park. Clubs throughout the United States participated. Regulars based there Jump every weekend, individuals averaging 3 to 4 drops a day. Chute packing devours most of the time and physical strain prevents an excessive number of jumps in one day. Devotees have various reasons for entering the field. Karyl Alvoid 'just wanted to try it,' and Johann Baker, 'wanted to see if he had the courage it took. But all agree that once committed to the sport, it gets into their blood and they avldily pursue perfection in mastering the art. showing Last week several Utah parachutists took to the sides...
