A new team this season, Elsinore Fuse quickly took shape with the early addition of player coach Lou Ascione. The three new jumpers on the team, Morgan Dunn, Chris Luff and Caitie Unkovic, bring an endless supply of enthusiasm and willingness to learn, while Lou provides invaluable experience, patience, and consistent coaching. During the 2004 season, Fuse is planning to learn as much as possible and to give their best in the Intermediate Class at Nationals.

As the youngest team on the dropzone, Fuse has received tremendous support from the entire Skydive Elsinore community. Elsinore Adrenaline, Elsinore GT, Elsinore Satori and Elsinore Equinox have all been steadfastly generous in their help and advice as this new team strives to improve with every training camp.
