Georgia State Formation Skydiving Record:March 18th-21st:Fitzgerald,Ga.
Can't Post
This is to announce that an attempt will be made for a new formation skydiving record in March. The attempt will be hosted by RoamingDZ.com at the 7th annual St.Patricks Celebration Boogie. The current recognized record is 64 and has stood since 1997. We are planning a 66 way.
This is not the boogie thread.Please don't treat it as so. The offical thread will be posted next month.
If you are interested in a slot on the record attempt and believe you are qualified,please contact Fortson Rumble at:
fortson@rumblesofficecity.com or: mirage62 here on DZ.com
If you have questions I'm sure myself or Fortson can answer them here.
Aircraft for this event being supplied by Skydive the Farm and Skydive Spaceland.

Yep, but did we mention the Ga Pop's record on Sunday?
It won't be near as crowded as the Fla record!
Hmmm... I have nowhere near the currency needed for the 66 way, but the Pops, yeah I could do it. Now if I can just fill out the membership form and send it in.... I've had 26 months to do it.
I'll let Fortson take that one. Warm ups on Thurs.,Attempts on Friday with hopes of a record on Fri.We don't want to keep everyone tied up for the whole boogie.
The record jumps will start early in the morning....the muff brothers will still be asleep
Anyone who signs up will need to be ready to jump at 8:30 Friday and 9:00 Saturday. Our goal will be to get the record safely and as fast as possible. There will be plenty of lifts between our attempts!
Close to 30 confirmed, if your interested please drop me a line.
Skymama asked me to repost this as it got deleted when she was "cleaning up" some post on this thread. I have no idea what she needed to clean up but from what I hear we don't want to piss her off.
FYI worth, close to 50 on the list now. Offical invites will go out shortly.
Hey all,
Some more details for the record. first we are past well past 40 so far. I have to say I am surprised at the numbers coming in. All of the below is subject to change but as of now.
For the record attempt it's $20 registration fee and a $3.00 add on to a regular lift ticket. For these that are there on Thursday we will warm up. The event starts at READY to jump (tickets in hand jump suit on walking to your slot) 8:30 Friday morning. We will jump Friday and Saturday or until we get the record. AFTER the record for these that are interested we will do competition 20 ways with video.
Please keep in mind that this is a record attempt. It you sign up and get a slot your with the group until Saturday afternoon, unless you get cut.....and if you do I'll bring you a beer later!
Although jumpers from many other states will be on this record I really would hate to not have a slot for a qualified Georgia skydiver. If your waiting to apply (and your from Georgia) please drop me a note. I know it's a long time out.
Also, I've had several people think that you had to go to a "camp" to get a slot. THAT's not true at all! If you aren't known to any either Fortson, Jack or Chris or someone that we know and trust very well than someone we have jumped with might get the slot. Believe me these camps are not money makers, they are for people to get seen - and hopefully have some fun.
I'll let Fortson take that one. Warm ups on Thurs.,Attempts on Friday with hopes of a record on Fri.We don't want to keep everyone tied up for the whole boogie.

It looks like we are going to pull of three more camps between now and the event. One each at Skydive Atlanta,Skydive the Farm and Skydive Monroe. At least on of those may end up being formation loads. Dates will be posted here and at RoamingDZ.com under the boogie thread.
