Hey y'all! Due to some thoughtful input from numerous skydivers, I have slightly changed the qualifications to earn a FAST number. (Fifty And Still Trackin') A jumper needs to participate in a minimum 10-way and be over 50 years of age. That's it. Only for FAST State Records do all participants have to be over 50 years of age. And with that said....Congratulations to Bob Atkins of Pennsylvania for earning FAST # 52 and Patrick Calandra earning FAST # 53 in a 10-way speed star here at ZHills DZ in Florida today! I video'd the jump. Their $10 for the FAST number will be sent to the Testicular Cancer Society. And they proudly wear the FAST T-shirt as well..... Please go to FAST 50 Fifty And Still Trackin' Facebook page for info and to "like". Remember, this organization is for charity.

So....due to thoughtful input from numerous skydivers, I have slightly changed the requirements to earn a FAST number. A jumper needs to be over the age of fifty and participate in a minimum 10-way. Only for State FAST records do ALL participants have to be over 50. So with that said.....congratulations to Bob Atkins of Pennsylvania who earned FAST#52 and Patrick Calandra who earned FAST#53 today here at ZHills in Florida by participating in a speed 10-way!!! Their $20 for the numbers goes to the Testicular Cancer Society.And they proudly wear the FAST T-shirt as well... Lets see all you over 50's out there join in.

This Organization that I started has snowballed. I first set the requirements because we have the means here in the States for each state and many larger DZ's being able to bring together 10 50 year olds. In Aussie, it would only be possible with a "gathering" of 50 year olds. I have an idea....why not get Dave Ruckert to get it going downunder? I will contact him through Facebook......

Totally got the humor too...I am just so fired up about us ole' farts still kickin' ass and enjoying life to the max. I would like to see guys come out of the woodwork to reinvent themselves again. When Maria and I started our DZ in Colorado years ago, there were people who had quit jumping because of the attitude at the only other available DZ that had turbines. It was the energy, excitement and zest for life that our jumpers had, that brought these people back. It does not matter your age, and it should not matter which discipline of skydiving you choose. We are special. Forever!

So if you are 50 and a skydiver, it is not difficult to do a 10-way with others over 50.....there are a lot of us out there! Come to ZHills, we can get you qualified real easy! We have belly fliers, freefliers, wingsuiters, swoopers of all ages here.
