dgskydive 0 #1 September 20, 2004 Good stuff the last four days! Weather came in every morning until about 10 or 10:30 or so. Figures we have 6 months of great weather and then 4 days of foggy mornings when we want to get down to business. Once we got in the air you knew it was gonna be a good event. Bunches of completions, great video and still shots. I am sure Paul Quade will have a link at some time. The highlight of the weekend for most people I think came when we did a 104 way with two freefliers sitting in the middle of two different big rooms! Thanks to Mike Swanson and Jon DeVore from team Alchemy for "sitting in" on our jump. Really cool visual to see them popping up out of a room and checking out the scenery. I think Jon owes beer! Thanks to Kate and Tony for putting together such a good group of jumpers and challenging us with some really hard stuff. Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merkur 1 #3 September 20, 2004 Hey Chester! Hope you had fun. Check your post in Stammtisch! What are your plans for the next couple of months? When do you move to Berlin? Sorry, back to the topic: Was the 104 the biggest formation that was build? blue skies, M.vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #14 September 29, 2004 Gypsy and Sky Van both recently got new paint. Gypsy, the Van and the Jet now all pretty much match. Papa Victor and the Shark have retained their looks. I'm pretty sure there are NO plans to change the look of the Shark.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #16 October 6, 2004 I would have thought the Kate and Tony photos and videos would have already been mailed out. It's possible that OB got caught off guard with the closeness of Nationals. I'll ask him about it tomorrow and get back to you. I do know this, he's been working 16 hour days for the last week and just looks absolutely burnt out and dragging tail. You can't walk around on the DZ without somebody at manifest calling his name to do even ore work. I really feel bad for him since I've been doing 4-way and will continue with 8-way and I pretty much haven't so much as lifted a finger other than make some graphics for him. Anyway, I'm tired and rambling . . . I'll ask him about it the next time I see him.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #17 October 7, 2004 Paul, the one photo of the completed formation, #040917pq4065, I can't tell if that was the one jump that I missed when I was taking Barb to the hospital.

katecooper 0 #22 October 24, 2004 Hi all I spoke with OB today. He's been swamped between Nationals and now the Flyboyz Film Fest (I know, yadda yadda yadda) but I was in his room and he has a PILE of photos, DVD's and combos IN MAILERS getting ready to go out. I haven't seen the DVD yet (yes, I'm waiting too) but I can tell you that the big 16 x 20 of the hybrid dive is SPECTACULAR and I ordered one for myself when I saw the ones he had printed up for you guys!

Deuce 1 #24 October 24, 2004 Hey John? I remailed the 121-way DVD to you a while ago. Did you get it? With Tony's permission I can generate some MPEGS for you. Lemme know. That last 121 way jump was astounding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
