The team combines for over 130,000 skydives and 5,000 BASE jumps. Throughout the year, they perform more than 60 demos including air shows, NFL football games, NASCAR races, motocross races as well as skydiving and BASE jumping competitions. These all-out wild men have kayaked out of airplanes, ski BASE jumped off a 30-story casino and developed a form of “free flying” that allows the skydiver to fly at speeds close to 340 miles an hour and will do doing demos all weekend long; • A fully-operational Circle K store on-site, with all proceeds from the store going to the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation; • The SRP Lil’ Rockers Area with hands-on interactive instruments and music-related arts and crafts; • The SRP Music Shack Stage & Garage Band Competition where the SRP Garage Band Competition finalists will battle it out to see who will open for major 3 Doors Down and All American Rejects at the festival; • Corona Cove, a traditional beach-themed area between the Historic Mill Avenue Bridges at the waterfront that will have sand volleyball, and Tempe’s own Big Bang dueling pianos as well.
