2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships
The 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships are taking place from October 12 through the 25th at Skydive Spaceland in Rosharon, Texas, just south of Houston.
This year’s event will include formation skydiving, freeflying, style & accuracy, canopy piloting and canopy formation. The first weeks consists of formation skydiving with the second week includes more spectator friendly events such as pond swooping.
During competition hours, the event will be broadcast live on the internet via the official website. To watch the live coverage please visit the live coverage website. The official results will be posted daily here.
