Trent 0 #1 February 13, 2007 TEXAS STATE RECORD 150-WAY SEQUENTIAL INVITATIONAL AND CASA TAILGATE BOOGIE APRIL 18-22 This is going to be cool! 150 of the best skydivers will gather in Rosharon, Texas to decorate the sky with multiple freefall formations. We now have all of the slots filled on the entire team. We have 86 current or former world record holders with 92% of the rest of the team having been in multiple 100-way or larger formations. Seven large aircraft will carry the group to 18,000-21,000 feet, giving the skydivers 60-70 seconds to complete the formation. Following the formation the sky will blossom with 150 beautifully colored parachutes. The group will be making eighteen 150-way skydives, attempting not only to break the current Texas State Record of a 120-way formation but turning multiple points on the dives. This event takes incredible organizing, planning and extreme talent. We are forming sponsorship packages if your company or organization wants to be involved. The sponsors will receive recognition in many different ways depending on their level of sponsorship (published materials, media releases, logo on t-shirts, display boards, etc.). Please email [email protected] and include TSR sponsorship in the subject line. This is an event that takes involvement/participation from everyone, not just the skydivers. Kirsten Dardmant is organizing the volunteer effort and we are currently building the team. Here is a quick paragraph from Kirsten: Hello everyone! The 150-ways are coming up and we need your help. Skydive Spaceland and the TSR Team needs volunteers to help in all aspects of the record attempts, including registration, loading, oxygen systems, jumper pick up, and much more. The TSR will take place from Wednesday (all day) to Sunday (until 6:00 PM), April 18th-22nd, 2007. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Kirsten Hardmant at [email protected] and let her know when you would be available to help out. This is the largest skydiving event to take place in Texas to date and it cannot happen without your help. So come on out and enjoy some of the most exciting skydiving you will ever see, and be an important part of making it happen! What else is going on at Spaceland during the TSR? We will have 2 Casas and 5 Otters at the DZ and we're also having a tailgate boogie while the TSR is going on. We will also be doing tandems during the event. We will have organizing for everyone and also a birdman weekend that will fill the skies with wingsuits. Jason Weisberg will be organizing wingsuit flyers and expects 15-20 “flockers” or maybe more. If you are a wingsuit flyer or are interested in birdman flying, then come out to Spaceland on April 19-21 and jump the Casas. Stay tuned for more information on the wingsuit weekend. RV slots during this event are limited; call manifest at (281)369-3337 to sign up for one. For more information, see www.texasstaterecord.com.Oh, hello again!
