SkyFest has made a deal w/ SD Spaceland to provide the SCR jumper with a FREE JUMP!!!!!


So what that means if you are making your SCR jump at SkyFest we will buy your slot for that one jump!!B|B|B|

We do not gaurantee that you get the SCR (which you will) but we cant pay for re-do's, fair enough???
This ALSO applies to the Pink Patch Raffle Winner.

Some of these jumps will also include video or if not it will be available CHEAP...like two pack jobs cheap!!!!!

This is what we ask, we are strong supporters of Bill Newell and the SCR program (incase you haven't noticed) so we are just asking that you please complete the form and send it in with the $20.00 and make it official. This can be done at a later date.
You get a number, a card, a patch, and other cool stuff. We will have forms and get them signed off for you after the jump.
Check out his site.http://www.scr-awards.com/


Who's your daddy?:)
Dont forget to bring your beer maggot!!!!



Thank you!! Us maggots actually get a treat, which I think is fair since everyone gets to pour beer all over us anyhow! Plug this like crazy to make sure all the SCR recipients actually donate on the SCR site. Maybe you can make a little flier with the website on it to handout to all the recipients to put in our logbooks, so those that do not frequent dz.com will still remember to do it!

Looking forward to it!!
Blue skies and SAFE landings!

Won't need to stop...I'll just use your beer can....you'll never notice the difference....:D:D
My reality and yours are quite different.

Hey!!!

I have a small favor to ask of everyone that wants to help out....

I am collecting as many different new(ish)... (just not all crinkled) pull up cords as i can. before i had a ton of them with nothing to do with them. now i have a really cool idea that i need a bunch more for.

so, if you're coming to skyfest and you have extra pull up cords that you want to donate to me:) please let me know or just hook me up sometime this weekend when you see me!

i guess i'll be hitting up the manufacturers booths too for even more!!

THANKS IN ADVANCE to everyone who give me those sweet lil' cordsB|

Lets not start with the weather already.If those people could predict the weather a week ahead of time they wouldn't be doing it for the Weather Channel and they would be rich.Besides, that is what the forcast in Georgia is every day during the summer.
If you can't come we understand but don't blame the weather and keep it to yourself;)

weather


Not to mention that the forecast every day for the last 3 weeks or so has been isolated afternoon thunderstorms.
We got less than 1/10 of an inch of rain in June in Houston. That's pretty isolated. Me, I'm happy the temperature is a degree or two cooler :P

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

YEAAHHH!!!! >:(>:(>:(>:(
That should have been RULE #2, right under:
"If you can't come, keep it to yourself."
These are the people who go to Disney World and tell the little kids that Mickey is just a guy in a suit!! I'm sure you mean well, but some of us have to pack our shit, drive to other towns, and get on planes for this thing, stop harshing our BOOGIE BUZZ!!

All i see is a forcast for Isolated - Scatered T storms -

So as i see it - we get a 20 minute - stand out in the rain and cool off break - then it's back to jumping - Clouds make AWESOME background scenery for those special pictures that end up on your "I love me wall"

See 20% chance - In Texas - Means - "20 minutes"

30% = 30 minutes

Etc Etc -

Sometimes the rain never actually makes it to the ground - :ph34r:
I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

Hey everyone...if you are over 40 and a member of POPS, there will be a POPS Texas Record attempt during Skyfest. If you want to participate send me a PM with your total jumps and big way experience. There are a few slots left. Maximum will be 70-way.

Blue skies,

Jim

Problem:

My performance at the swoop comp yesterday was 1 round, since after a bitching swoop in the downwind swoop course (10mph) my feet caught while sliding and it dumped me onto my knees HARD. Hard enough that I'm still in quite a bit of pain today. It was enough that I went ahead and dropped from the rest of the comp yesterday (which means I'm probably not 3rd in TX anymore...oh well). Knees are still really swollen, I tweaked the MCL in my left knee (no tearing or anything, just a hard tweak) and right now I have way too much riding in my future to gamble with a real injury. So I'm trying to take it easy to keep from turning a hurt into an injury.

The point is, I'm still going to come to Skyfest, but I might not be able to jump, so if that's the case I'll probably showup about mid-day on Saturday, party my ass off with everyone, then go home Sunday.

I'm going to do the best I can do to be able to jump this weekend, though, since I really want to be on some SCRs and I want to swoop the pond.:)
