Hey folks! Check out the auction page, you wont believe your eyes! manufacturers keep loading it up with more items than I can keep up with!! Will be adding Airtech soon, yup they will be attending SkyFest all the way from Germany and bringing a cypres and certificates for the auction.

I thought I would recap what is going on at this event. It was actually presented to me yesterday and I was in shock of what we had out together!! Someone said " J where else are you going to go and get: Free Skydives (about 15 Otter Loads) World Cup Speed Skydiving Competition Free Canopy Control Course Thurs & Friday Team Fastrax and PD Tony Hathaway 100 way's 50 ways TeXXas 20 Pink Patch FF State Record Womens State Record SCR Jumps Discounted FF coaching Free JSF Scholarship Awards Award Ceremony Raft dives Huge Gear Auction 15+ Mfrs attending Skinnyshrek Memorial Poker Tournament.

Wow, this is going to be a blast, think I will leave on Thursday and hide!!

Hello Kate Norm Kent was camera for the 86 100 way I believe, i know that is where he got his start in camera work. Have him tell you how he got the channel 8 gig that weekend, funny story. Also Al Hively organized the first bigway world record in Oklahoma at least i think it was the first. I think it was a 36 way in the 70's. I can get his phone number/email for you if you want it. If you want the small one too. Another thought, you might contact my mother, I believe she judged most of them until the what, late 90's? Let me know if you want either contact info. Maybe you will publish it when you are done, I know I would like to see it. Good luck, oh and nice Aerodyne ad. Of course I dont work for Sun Path anymore so I guess I cant give you a hard time, all I could do now is print T shirts or promotional items for you.

Not acceptable. I think this would be the 3rd time in 8 years that one dz.commer backouts just before the event because of another. Bullocks! Ultimately they ended up showing anyway. Which is the way it should be. Soooooooooo........... I will see you what, Tuesday?? Besides you owe me something dont you? Well maybe not owe, but you know.

Just make sure you let go with the right when you fall off the couch or you might break it on impact still holding on.

TOTALLY worth it!!

I replied in that thread about The FREE T shirts. Glad you made it thru that!! Speaking of FREE T shirts. I have come up with a pretty cool idea for this year (well at least i think so) something wicked this way comes. LOL sort of a suprise cant wait!! You are correct, the boogie shirt is free, It just cost $45 to see me!!

For what its worth, let me know his T shirt size if you want. I will throw one in for him, better yet we will get one for the wife too.. I bet I can afford it, I know this guy who owns a boogie and prints T shirts for a living

I understand there will be plenty of plastic wrap on hand too! Some might call it shrink wrap.. Man this is gonna be a good one!

Maybe some one alreeady asked this but are they recalling all of his rigging when the other packer was invlvolved. It has to be obvious some one does not know that they are doing. Glad you are still with us and saving others.

I got 2 15 years some how, then on my 20 year I asked for it two months early. My mothers 40 was that month, so I presented her with the 40 and she presented my 20 during skyfest a few years ago. She did not appreciate advertising the fact that she was old enough top have a 40 year membership so she probably wont like this either. LOL Always had great service from USPA!

Now thats funny! This might be my first 2008 SkyFest post, I didn't post the events one this year Funny, you say that when I can think of a certain event that walks on water, yet 6' under at the same time. Hmmmm, Lets see, SkyFest has become one of 4 approved locations for the ISSA's World Cup Speed Skydiving Competition. So if I changed the name to WSFC (World SkyFest Confederation) would you mind then??? I know I know , just being a smart ass, (you know I too miss the afore mentioned) but I figure between the two of us, we probably have this site covered. LOL Hope your event goes well, you should be in the states in June though!! Good marketing and Free Skydives LOL

Glad to hear you look forward to helping out future jumpers, its folks with that attitude that have had a major part in keeping this sport alive for over 50 years. Here is a link to a little more details on how it works: http://www.skyfestboogie.com/content/view/14/11/ In addition to the info on the site, SkyFest basically takes the bulk of the funds generated from the event and covers slot cost for the coaching jumps. We do not pick the winners, the staff/ instructors of the sponsoring DZ pick them.. We only set the criteria. AFF graduate is one of them. Hope to see you at the event, its built with you in mind. be safe J

There is a pretty nice one on this page too. http://www.freefallaccessories.com/contact.html

Soooo you'll take the bottom the top, the middle...etc...., maybe I can finally be on top Yes, oh yes there with be 12 port a johns added (serviced daily) , and a very expensive shower trailer brought in. And hey it only cost you one scrubbing of the back, oh wait maybe thats the bottom in your case.... Ok I better stop. Seriously, these are nice clean showers and we are not charging some entrance shower fee as we have all heard of in the past. Now getting out might cost you Ohhhhhh I should probably order food now. J

I keep wanting to ask why you need to know 8 weeks before the event, does the trailer need a head start. But then I realize I had to be concerned about things like that when I was traveling for dz to dz for 6 months straight. Plus I figure you may have people staying with you. Ok, I discussed that with James last week and they finally got an answer from the electricians. If I have it right they are splitting the dz thus getting a second transformer. So the "lack" of electricity to items already in place should not be an issue. But they cannot guarantee they will have additional rv slots ready by then. Not to fear, he has already contacted multiple business to rent as many generators as possible if the lines are not completed. Our thoughts were that we should be able to just pass the cost over to the users. That is all based on the fact that it works out to about 15.00 a day. I expect an answer mid to late next week. Please understand that our to do list have trippled in just a matter of days. And it wont stop until after the event uggh. But, I have something up my sleeve as well so drop me a PM and I will share it with you... Also dont forget that the info for nearby RV slots are on this site. i do hope that helps, not sure if it did. Whatever you do dont make a final decision with out talking or at least Pm'ing me, please. Ok Who's next?
