Fresh Meet 2024 – the 6th edition

Main Event – Saturday 3-way Competition

The main event kicks off Saturday with a 3-way competition. Each team is composed of two new jumpers and an experienced mentor. You’ll do four exciting skydives, but the competition won’t be only about the jumps! Points will be earned on the ground as well, with a series of escape room-style games, skill-based activities, and a scavenger hunt spirit.

Want more details? We are still crafting the final particulars for 2024, but you can check out the rules and divepool to get a head start. You can also find out more by signing up for the Fresh Meet mailing list.

All Access, All Event!

All five days will allow you access to the Perris excellent load organizers staff who can design jumps for your experience level. We are busy brewing fun social experiences like the Sky-Curious speed event, where you can meet experts in all the avenues you might explore in your future in skydiving, and a photo scavenger hunt for all four days. Enjoy access to gear manufacturer tents all weekend long. Everyone gets a goody bag, and if you register in time, a unique event T-shirt!

Fresh Funf’Air – Sunday freestyle fun

On Sunday, join us again for the Fresh Funf’Air for a go-at-your-own-pace challenge that allows you to pick and choose your activities the whole day. Your jumps can include popular skydives like hula-hoops, tracking jumps, and Mr. Potato Head dives. Collect all the Perris Patches! Have fun on the ground by trying on a real wingsuit, hungry-hungry hippo creeping, and more!
