packertom 0 #1 February 7, 2008 JUST FER US BOOGIE SKYDIVE DALLAS 12-15 JUNE 2008!!! Okay kiddies, this is the first public announcement I'm making concerning this boogie... We've been doing this for 5 years now and we're going BIG this year... Basically, it's called the Just Fer Us boogie because it's planned and run by the skydivers for the skydivers.. here's a basic look at what we currently have planned... We're bringing in a Casa and we already have a Super Otter and a Grand Caravan. Currently we have Larry Henderson, Guy Wright and Larry Clapp organizing big way stuff and the Dallas Organizers Group handling the rest. We'll have dedicated organizers for track dives, pylon races, SCR jumps, high altitude jumps with oxygen, raft dives, toy dives, ball jumps, hybrid dives.. well you get the idea.. we'll be feeding on thursday, friday and saturday nights... there will be an open bar with domestic on tap and mixed drinks as well as blended margaritas... we'll have a DJ and music and we're working on a band for Saturday night.. Polyester party on Saturday night with contests etc... and ya'll know what that means The Texas Headdown State Record will be going on concrurently. We're working on the math for boogie fees etc and I'll post them as soon as we figure it all out.. this is going to be a monster.. we are aiming to make this the biggest boogie that Skydive Dallas has ever seen! Velocity Sportswear is sponsoring the event and for all who met me at Couch Freaks this last year... you knows I likes my parties We're working on getting a webpage up for the boogie but for the moment you can get information from our myspace page at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=316594019 or on the velocitysportswear page at www.velocitysportswear.com Hope to see every skydiver in the world there... more to follow :-)tom@velocitysportswear.com www.velocitysportswear.com What's YOUR Zombie Plan?

AggieDave 6 #3 February 8, 2008 Is your "local pro swooper" ( ) organizing any canopy flocking or setting up a swoop course or anything like that? I don't have a freefall rig setup right now, but I would be willing to drive to do some cool canopy stuff. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

packertom 0 #4 February 8, 2008 hmmm.... like the way you think... I'll bring it up in the staff meeting and see what we can add to the list of events.. we're working on the list of events and pairing up organizers right now... we'd talked about some crw stuff and maybe a mini-swoop meet... I'll announce the updated list of events soon.. thanks for the input. Tomtom@velocitysportswear.com www.velocitysportswear.com What's YOUR Zombie Plan?

floormonkey 0 #5 February 11, 2008 There's a dedicated hi-performance landing area and swoop lane always set up at Dallas. Sometimes we put up the windblades, but the course is always marked with cones and paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #6 February 11, 2008 Quote Is your "local pro swooper" ( ) If you are talking about who i think you are, he is in san marcos these days and recently broke his ankle. And i think a lot of the locals there would give you a run for your money dave, you would have fun up there. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

AggieDave 6 #7 February 11, 2008 I'm not talking about the guy with a pony tail and a cop-stach. I was talking about the other pro they have. I have no doubt the canopy pilots in Dallas are good there are a lot of good jumpers in every discipline in Dallas, I was making a joke while asking if there was going to be any specific high performance canopy organizing. I love going to DZs and swooping, but I would have to take off work to make it to the boogie. That and I haven't had a terminal non-tandem jump in about a year, so without any fun canopy stuff I'm just as useful as a an AFF level 2 student on an SCR.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
