Its comments like these that keep me going sometimes. You are going to have a blast I can tell already. I dropped you a pm on the jumpsuit and I bet we can make something happen. wheehhoo!

shame..i dont see a place on the website to register for balloon jumps...would love to get one in while im there... Let me know when you go, I will pull for you, obviously you cannot see http://www.skyfestboogie.com/content/view/7/3/ Its on the bottom right under dad, um Jerry, inside the "sign ups" page. There, done being a smartass. Enjoy! J

Those are some great stats!! I have to ask, did you immediately start to log some of that data or did you figure out how to compute it later? Cool numbers Tony! Now for the real question. Whats Next? Do you attribute the low cutaways to the Spectre? I do with mine. Congrats! Great stories!

Dogs are ok, just leash them up HP has a separate landing all to its own, Now here is a thought HP landings are not a prob, but H-N-P maybe? hmmmmm Hows that for service, you can land anyway you want, you just wont get the ride LOL. I am sure we will work it out. I have probably just forgotten the plan. Oh wait C-182, thats it. All is well. See ya soon J

You are all wrong! LOL

SkyFest SkyFest staying accident free SKYFEST ENDING and me sleeping for 3 days straight!

I thought you guys changed the start date to the 3rd... Your pic shows it starting the 4th... WTF? Which is it? Why dont you go and hold a lit fuse or something.

Ok you may slide by with that one, assuming..........

Actually it shows for the Tue, Wed and Thur, but those go on throughout the event. Darn Schedule was Bio&%^&*%ch to put together. I will get it changed to Everyday when I can. thanks for the catch. Uggh its too close!!! LOL

So I probably should not have posted this in bonfire so Mama you are welcome to delete my post if you choose. I cant wait to see this sucker up! Thanks to a partnership with the Villages of York County, SkyFest will have its own billboard on the side of I-77 welcoming skydivers from all over the continental US. Registrations have also come in from jumpers as far away as Australia, Germany, Italy and Sweden. The billboard (shown below) will be located on the left side of the interstate heading southbound just past Exit 82. The billboard will be 14ft x 48ft and will appear at the end of next week (22nd or 23rd of May). Oh and the next person that Posts or sends me an email stating how many days left to SkyFest, Im gonna, well I dont know what I will do...... but please dont. LOL

How cool is that? Thanks to a partnership with the Villages of York County, SkyFest will have its own billboard on the side of I-77 welcoming skydivers from all over the continental US.

The billboard (shown below) will be located on the left side of the interstate heading southbound just past Exit 82. The billboard will be 14ft x 48ft and will appear at the end of next week (22nd or 23rd of May). Dont know about the rest of ya, but I cant remember the last time a boogie had a billboard. Damn, now I will have to go further north coming from Texas just to go and see it. Its already 1100 miles to get there. [cool Oh well guess it is worth it eh?

Please dont let me forget to register, guess it could be worse, like the year i forgot the airplanes!! Not!! the worse one was when I organized my 1000th jump, a formation load. Went to manifest and started to hand over the list and it took 15 minutes to figure out why there was one slot left??? We realized that I was not on the load!!

Dooh!!@!

Congrats Andy! How much did that cost him?

Jimmy Of course you should come!! Oh here is a number for you VSCR 23 Hey every one! We will be shuuting down online registration in less than a week, so hurry up and register and save yourself some time! Man its too close, Im not ready yet! J

Hey for all you new FF out there, make sure you reserve your time with Dave prior to the event. Not only to guarantee your self a slot, but to take advantage of the incredible deal he is offering for Coach jumps. I can promise you that if you do not hold a slot soon it will be very difficult to get one during the event. This is our 8 year holding SkyFest and every year the same thing happens, people miss out because they did not take advantage of the slots. So drop Dave an email today and get a great deal on some FF Coaching Jumps! See you all there in June and Be safe! J

Funny how I hear about the stories 3 years later. We did catch the bastard that stole my Javelin demo rig last year. Freakin idiot let his gf jump it at the DZ he stole it from. Both are newbies. It had the bright orange Vigil canopy in it. He claimed he bought it from a guy at a 7-11! He tried to color it with a magic marker, he even colored the javelin odyssey logo on both sides thinking that was not normal to be on the rig. He took a lighter to the embroidery on the cutaway handle as well. Idiot!! He is no longer in the sport...Yee haa

Okay, here's a newbie question as I've never been to SkyFest before. How does the whole free jump thing work? Do you manifest and then someone pops up and says "surprise, free jump!"? - David Free jumps start on Thursday, we will announce the start time on Wed and Thurs morning. You will bring your packed rig up to manifest when manifesting. It will be first come first serve. The second round of free jumps will start at 8am Sunday, he he!!! The newbie load will work a bit different, we will probably hand out a special ticket so you can manifest for any load. I will verify this with james but that makes the most sense to me. We will announce when you can come and do the requirements for the load. What an awesome opportunity for many, over 300 free skydives to give away with more to come. Hey folks check out the gear auction list, it is still growing!!

Yeah... I too am sorry for not thinking of it first. I'm interested to know what theydid to it to fashion it into a bong, Pot heads!

Now that is the funniest thing I have read all year. Yes I agree, the requirement for A license spotting is to carry extra batteries for the GPS

Dont you think that is like asking me what slot machine is going to jackpot???? No the fuel prices have already bumped them up, they will still be cheaper than their regular price, atleast that is the plan for now. I believe the last price i got was 24.00 Hey Chris you saw that USPA will be there..Mr Ed Scott and more.

I was going to say something, but I didn't want to be a downer. The thought is great but I think someone with a little more experience should be on the load. I had to give james a hard time on that one. Actually the way it will work is the 22 people must be A licensed for slots donated by this individual, they dont have to be on the same load, you just have to be a newbie to get the tickets. But, I like the idea of an all student load (except for a spotter and exit assistance). Might be cool to feel the anxiety of 21 newbies in one airplane. Bet you could feel it just like when you complete a 100 way or something.

A license only? How about a spotter? Hey lets make it a 20 way A license world record attempt!! Now wouldnt that be cool!! Umm but i bet we cant get any video volunteers for that lol!!

Hey Everyone! I hope you all are all ready when is this thing? July oh good I have time then We have added a Latest Update page on the site, go check it out, and the items in the gear auction, this is the best ever!! There must be something in the air in the S. E. people keep offering up some great items. USPA will be there too, Ed Scott and others are coming down for a visit. Lets all grab a beer and play nice We officially opened the event up a day earlier!! Tuesday June 3rd will be the kick off, of course we will be flying on Monday as well. Go register online today, it will be closing soon. So save your self some time by going to the site now! thanks J
