WatchYourStep 0 #51 August 28, 2007 Well Martin it was there last year Instead of waiting I called the number on the Couch Freaks website. The gentleman who answered said the Jet was a no go. Martin if you dressed up like Borat in the yellow bikini thing you would win Best Dressed hands down. Even Coiner couldn't hang (no pun intended) with that outfit.

dqpacker 7 #53 August 28, 2007 I love you to fff3. Leaving tonight! will be packing tomorrow at the lame ass disco with a twist of eurotrash music tent if anyone wants their chutes packed, Joel's bringing the lube. Also Joel Davies will be freestyle coaching all weekend with Mike Super on vid. You should see his splits, the way he flys his camel toe is amazing. World Class Stuff.

skydived19006 4 #54 September 4, 2007 Thanks for laying off on the all night music this year! I know a lot of people who slept, and made a few more jumps because of it!

wildfan75 1 #56 September 4, 2007 I had a blast at Couch this year! The only thing that would have made it completely 100% perfect was if we would have got that Texas star built for the women's state record. Next year!!! Thanks to Fort Dodge, all the Des Moines Skydivers and the Skydive Arizona pilots (and everyone else that helped) for putting on a great boogie! See you next year! And Julie...the rides to altitude on Monday at Wissota seemed like the longest rides to 10k' in the history of the world! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bch7773 0 #57 September 4, 2007 Quote does anyone know the website where they will post pics from the boogie? there is generally not one website where all of them are posted. I'm sure everyone would appreciate if any people who did take pictures and put them on the web, put a link to them on here though MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingJordan 0 #58 September 4, 2007 Good jumps and good people! Hazel Strange, the band for Sunday night, was awesome, bring them back next year!I'm like a chocolate covered pretzel...I might be kind of melty but dang, I'm exquisite! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dqpacker 7 #60 September 4, 2007 Tom Stewart from Velocity Sportswear was taking pics from wed thru monday. He said his pics will be online at VelocitySportswear.com and that if you want a high quality photo he will email them for free. There should be some good ones.

cjdskydiver 4 #63 September 5, 2007 Great boogie, as always. Though, the Sat nite best dressed contest was pretty tame. What happened to "skin to win" and "show us your ..." (substitute for male or female)?? Even the "tits=altitude" sign was missing at the loading area. Though, plenty of women did take one for the team. Thank you for the altitude! I didn't see any tie-dye t-shirts for sale. I used to get one each year. Maybe since Sky Kat left, they aren't doing them anymore. Oh, and bring back the Army shower tent. The sink area by the shower van didn't cut it. No lighting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ksjumper 0 #64 September 5, 2007 I had a great time and made alot of jumps. I had 31 jump tickets in the raffle but didn't win a thing. However, it seemed like they raffle hundreds of prizes off and tossed 10 times as many out into the crowd. You'd have to have been passed out not to get something free. The only thing missing was Dave S. from skydiveradio.com. I'm going to check with the gennius book of world records about stacking empty kegs of beer. That could be a great event for next year!!

You purchased 31 raffle tickets at $23 each, and didn't win anything, but you did get 31 "free" jumps! Quote I'm going to check with the gennius book of world records about stacking empty kegs of beer. That could be a great event for next year!! JM I'm seeing a couple of different records, the Couch Freaks style, with a bunch of drunks stacking without assistance of anything other than a few extra kegs to stand on. How high do you think one would need to drop an empty keg on a human head laying on concrete to cause it to crush like a cantaloupe? I'm guessing somewhere around 5'.

freeflyflunky 0 #66 September 5, 2007 The band on Sunday night was County 79 -- just to clarify -- and they were freakin' awesome On another note -- I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped with the Mustang (car) jump organization and planning. It was a great boogie and a great way to come back into the skydiving world.... missed all of you guys and this boogie reminded me how much I love you all _______________________________________ Oh, and one more thing...Ninjas ARE way cooler than pirates.

NEcrewDOG 0 #70 September 5, 2007 Don't forget that some really, really cool guy gave you a t-shirt that he won. That's quite the boogie for your first one. The Des Moines Skydivers did a great job, as usual. Running a boogie of that size certainly isn't easy. The memory of landing my 2-stack moments before the fly-by on Sunday evening was something that I won't forget anytime soon. Skydive Radio!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Margaret was talking about renting one big ass trailer for next year but with the whole DZ coming maybe you guys can rent the whole fleet. We look forward to having you guys back but come early so you don't miss the hog roast.Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.
