1st load just jumped and we are on a wind hold!!!! Come on winds. 9 m per second right now. Nick was deep in the gates almost touching the water but had a pretty good run considering the winds. Unfortunately Hans verticled. The winds were within limit but pretty close. They are checking now but Hans might get a rejump Keep your fingers crossed for the big guy!

try number 3! 15 MINUTE CALL for round 2 of distance and the winds are starting to pick up pretty good. or bad however you look at it. 10-12 mph cross wind now. I was on the first load yesterday so now because of the rotation I am on the last load last group out! Lets hope if we jump the winds stay consistant! I don't want changing winds to be the determining factor in what the final standings are. Rain is another story!!!! Ha ha! Nick Batsch and Hans Paulson are on the first load and they are on their way to the plane now! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

Rain beautiful rain! Sorry Pia, I will take a bullet before a bride! You can however be the toy! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

Hans Paulson is hereby declared a master idiot of the free world! I let him use my computer for 2 minutes.....I knew I should have closed my tabs! Well with the standing tradition the competitors got the go to the plane call and as they were walking to the plane down came the rains!!! It is 5 til 1pm and still no jumps! Come on rain!!!

PICS FOR THE MASSES "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

*******UPDATE*********UPDATE********UPDATE*********UPDATE********UPDATE*******UPDATE********UPDATE***** The following information has just been declared unclassified by your United States Government and is ready for immediate media release! It was recently discovered that an immigrant in the year 1916 purchased Canada from a group of homosexual nudist eskimos for two baby seals and a bottle of elixer which was later discovered to be KY Jelly. Given the recent discoveries Canada has now been formally declared the northern most state in the United States. Since the US Team can only consist of competitors that competed in the US Nationals Jay Moledski is hereby expelled from medal contention! Officailly declaring me the winner since I just broke both airplanes! dited to add score sheet I will try to post all the scores via photo or if I can bribe the judges with a spreadsheet. Since Mary Lou is a judge it should take about a half a bottle of cheap wine! Peace out! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

Overall Unofficial results so far. 1. Jay Mo. 2. Greg Windmiller 3. Shannon Pilcher Let it rain!!!!!! I am about 40 points behind Jay and Shannon is 2 points behind me. The top ten places are onseperated by 17 points. Load one just went to the plane taxied then turned around because of low clouds. The weather is supposed to be getting better as the day goes but the original forecast is for clouds and rain. There is a slight head/crosswind right now of 4-6 mph. Unless the winds die or shift I don't believe the records are in fear of being broken. Predictions have been right so far, but I have been known to be wrong. Thus the 2 previous wives! As far as the mad russian goes water and feed your chest strap and maybe one day it will grow up to be big and strong....and also Shatalov...I met some more russian swoopers and to my disbelief I was wrong, not all russian swoopers are gay! Love you guys. "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

Rd 2 of speed is complete. Shannon Pilcher posted the fastest time with a 2.6something followed closely by Kaz Sheeky Jaymo then Nick Batsch and Jessica Edgington! anything under 3.5 was considered good in the given wind conditions. The are shifting slightly to a cross down wind which helped the last load of competitors not that any of them needed it. They scored the best because they are the best! I posted a 3.28 I think. It is hard to hear the scores in the landing area. We have a 30 minute break then right into the distance event. If the forecast hold true then there should be some impressive runs to include the world record going down...I predict multiple times...I just hope I can do my damage and have my 15 minuteds of fame! With hans Paulson out first on the pass after me it may be more like 5 minutes! Team USA overall has posted some impressive scores....Damn Canadian! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

15 min call for rd 2 of speed. Hans posted a 2.95. Agreat run considering all the verticles and the head wind. He jumped Maha's rig since his was being repacked. The scores are posted for accuracy. Jay mo is in the lead of course! I took 5th in the 1st round and 1st in the 2nd round. Just need to keep the runs clean and setups consistent! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

round 1 of speed is out of the way for myself, as I assumed there are no really fast times so far. I posted a 3.0something Marat (maha) posted a 2.8 and nick batsch has set the standard at 2.66. The course is into the wind and the humidity is up so the canopies aren't flying that fast. I believe I tied someone else in the second round of accuracy with a maximum score of 100 points. I am currently in 3rd for this round of speed with the PD boys still to go and of course the freak! Jaymo! He truely is an animal if you haven't seen him in action. JT is going to have PETA breathing down his neck shortly. While videoing Shannon he landed and the total body count is... 1 camera 1 camera man 1 German sheppard! The dog is ok! It yelped like Jessica Edgington when he impacted with it. He did however did an amazing job of grabbing it as he rolled and protected it from further injury. There are quite a few verticles so far in speed as the canopies aren't wanting to dive. Michael Vaugn just posted a 2.95 to bump me back even further....Yay! Big Papa Hans Paulson decided he wanted to dance the three ring jingle and chopped a few minutes ago. I told him I would pack for him!!!! More to follow. Since this is the only place I know of that is trying to keep anyone updated feel free to post it on your facebook, myspace or whatever Hans is back from a nice off airport landing. He chased the canopy for quite sometime. Kevin Love you can thank him later. They found it! It was about 2-3 miles away since it reinflated and wanted to fly....apparently without him under it!! F**K! is the quote from Hans! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

The second round is almost complete. I had a pretty good run the first run and a great run in round 2. there is one more plane load to go then switching to speed. (into the wind) No records will fall.....I predict. Because of incomming weather we are goning to do 2 speed rounds then 2 distance runs to be able to call in a meet. It should be interesting the last day doing one of each! If no one gets a stand up in zone 5 I should have 100 points for this round! (fingers crossed) A few people are consistently turning too low and scarring the bejesus out of me! No red or yellow cards yet! Yet! The US for the most part have all had consistant runs with good scores posted and there have been a few calls by the judges that are, lets just say...questionable. Apparently running out the side of the course is allowed....I don't know? "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

Round one is almost complete. One more plane of competitors to go. Most of the US Team did pretty well. The winds are perfect.....perfectly deceiving. Alot of zeros in the first round with people not making it to the scoring zones. The winds are 3-6mph headwind...Can't ask for any better! I got all the water gates and had a non stand up in zone 4 so all in all. It was a pretty good score! I am extremely happy with it. Bruno and of course Jay...the man! got perfect scores. I will post more after my second run. GO TEAM USA! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

Thanks to Ian Drennan and his computer literacy I can now post pics! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

Well here it is 0949 in the morning at the DZ first day of competition and the winds are starting to pick up. The clouds have been the determining factor so far. We are on a hold for weather. The winds have been generally into the wind direction in the morning changing to a cross then down wind in the evenings. The course is up and the competitors are ready to go. There have been a few bumps and bruises in practice. Robbie from the Aussies has gotten the worst it seems with a rough day yesterday. Chopped a canopy at 6,000ft and watched it float about 4-5 miles away. amazingly enough he got it back then later had a spill on the water that made me cringe just seeing the pics! Jessica Edgington smoked a 2.2 on the speed course 2 days ago and the distance runs have been impressive as previously stated. I personally did a best run of 165m and 161 but of course with the level of competition here that obviously won't be good enough. Time to step up and go big or go home without some bling bling! This being my first meet I wouldn't know but as stated by my fellow competitors the level of competition here is unlike any other meet seen before. It is amazing to see so many people hit the gates with consistency and have great runs! Kudos to all the competitors and good luck to all! I will post more when the rounds allow. The internet connection isn't the greatest and between that and random people unplugging the wireless trying to trouble shoot their own computers it is hard to download pics. I will do my best, which as most of you know on here is like saying....Don't bet on it! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

Did I make it? Did I make it? Oh please I want a golden ticket to the PD Factory. I hear the Shnozzleberries taste like Schnozzleberries To everyone that made it ....Congrats! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

It's the little things that count. Your a good man John...No matter what they say! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

The rule about not being on leave is because if something happens to you, your SGLI (Life insuranre) doesn't have to be paid by the military. You can't conduct military operations while on leave. It's kind of like getting killed in a car wreck if you aren't wearing a seatbelt. The military isn't obligated to pay your beneficiaries if you die while breaking the rules...It does suck that they won't allow retirees. I think they should....everyone except Chuck! Ha! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

It is normal. When you first start your turn, the body being thrown out to the opposite side of the canopy increases the speed of the turn because you are loading the risers more with the centrifical force. It is gyration and oscelation...Sorry about the spelling! Because you are not loading the canopy very heavy, eventually you will (swing) back under the wing or canopy making the turn seem less productive.

This sucks, I would love to be there but I can't make it. I have to take a break from all the traveling. Have a great time and be safe all! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

Now Ian! thats not very nice to talk about Stu's mom....You probably don't even know the man! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

So what you are saying is "an exhibition jump or mini comp" at the end of the meets??? It would kill the time while the judges tallied the scores! I am in! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"

I went 8,375 before my first malfunction which was a tandem I didn't pack then had about 3 in the next 2 months. The trick.....pack yourself! All my functions were from packers! I have 9,400 without packing one for myself. Love everyone....trust no one! "Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form"
