The audience now has the opportunity to watch Sabrina Graham and Kurt Disser fly with Joey Jones and Pamela Stevens in the AA Class and then compare with ZeBone of 2013 at the USPA Nationals with Andy Honigbaum and Jan Lane.
Kurt Disser explained for the Sun Path Products NSL News that the Jamba lineup at the Shamrock Showdown 2005 was not a part of a player coaching project. He said Pamela Stevens had put together the Jamba lineup the night before the meet, and they enjoyed flying with Joey Jones after meeting him for the first time in DeLand. It was still the beginning of Sabrina Graham's and Kurt Disser's 4way career together after they had been on different 4way teams before.

Their previous teams had the common history of not practicing too much and enjoying competition, which continued with ZeBone.
Sabrina Graham and Kurt Disser are actually both from Indiana and not from California. Kurt Disser said that the geographic proximity of all of the ZeBone 2012 and 2013 members was actually a factor in starting with this lineup. Sabrina Graham and Kurt Disser were just trying to find people for some tunnel training and jumping to stay current at the beginning of 2012. They ended up hanging out with Andy Honigbaum and Jan Lane and discussing their plans.

Kurt Disser said that they added to the challenge by leaving their most familiar slots. Sabrina Graham had made almost all of her 4way jumps in the Point slot and had approx. 150 jumps as the ZeBone Tail by the time of the USPA Nationals 2013. She has a total of approx. 770 jumps. She is also responsible for the home made jump suits that she and Kurt Disser were flying to the gold medals this year...
ZeBone went into the USPA Nationals 2012 with 32 training jumps as a team and some indoor training. 16 of the team jumps were competition rounds at the Midway Battle and at the September meet of the Carolina Skydiving League. ZeBone was happy with the performance at the USPA Nationals 2012 and decided to do some more in 2013. Paraclete XP supported the ZeBone 2013 plans, Eric Bobenhausen continued on camera, and the foundation was set.

Kurt Disser contributes much of the ZeBone success to the team's great chemistry. All four members worked together on the block techniques and the team's flying style. Andy Honigbaum still had the final word as the most experienced competitor in the team - and he was always right, Kurt Disser pointed out.
ZeBone was obviously not training that much but used their resources wisely and under great guidance. Kurt Disser also said that they learned "to play the hand that was dealt to us". The result was a waterproof lineup that kept it together for ten rounds at the USPA Nationals 2013...
