Wow! Still over a month to go and the list of DZ.com attendees is about over half the size of the list for the World Freefall Convention!!! The potential to break some records is certainly there.

I am incredibly prone to motion sickness. However I was fine in the bi-plane. In all fairness they made me squat the whole way up to altitude. As such he did no aerobatics. It was all about the inverted exit.

Ahhhh!!!! It's Michelle. Run Away!!! Run Away!!!

He probably doesn't remember me, but I've met him briefly a couple of times at Skydance. You know I'm terrible with names and "Elisha" isn't ringing a bell. It's definately a general flaw in my character but I'm working on it. Next time we meet you should do something memorable like biting my leg. Then you can at least say something like "You remember me... I bit your leg!!!" Soon you'll have a cool initial nickname like LB and everyone will know who you are.

I hate to do it but I can't go. Too much to take care of on the home front and I couldn't swing the back to back week long boogies this year.

There goes the neighborhood.

You know shit like this is what got me in trouble with my now Ex-girlfriend when I invited her over to watch the LP video without previewing it first. It only stays there if there are no witnesses!!!

Yeah yeah, I was the one flying the video remember? I don't know that I have the skills to position myself in someone's burble in a track like that and take a "grip" without taking us both out of the dive. (Props Stinky) Or did you mean that you never knew I had nice things to say about people?

Yeah Jeff I think it was. I never thought I'd say it but you rock too. Thanks for stepping up on that. Especially since 2 jumps after that de Bar got off the load when I wasn't manifested. Oops.

I had the pleasure of being on and videoing a tracking dive lead by our own vdschoor this weekend. Rarely have I ever seen such great control and body position. However, I must confess that he did seem to get a bit squeemish on one dock and almost lose control. Some may think it's justified what do you think? See the badjim.wmv video on skydivingmovies.com

If anyone needs a lift to Lost Prairie from the San Francisco Bay Area let me know. A good friend Carol Shaw is going to be driving his 5th wheel and trailer up and would be happy to have the company.

My eyes!!! My eyes!!! My suspicions are confirmed angora and speedos do NOT go well together.

Nah you are just out of practice

Interesting. But I'm a recovered game junkie so I'll have to stay clear.

Thanks. It was nice to meet you too. Oh and thank for the ride to the beer truck.

Ahhh those were the days. I actually ran a Renegade BBS. On my lovely 14.4 modem 80 megabyte (before compression) hard drive and the best homemade ANSI art in all of Maine. Mmmmm TradeWars.

Here is the same photo I posted on Alana's "hot and know it" thread.

I just got mine in the mail. Excellent work Jason. It was well made, highly entertaining, and very touching. Even if I wasn't as fortunate to have known Chris as well as many of you. Watching this video helped me understand how lucky I was to have known him at all. Thanks so much.

Wah wah wah. You should be glad that there is a doctor willing to go anywhere near that thing. If I feel sorry for anyone it's him/her. Maybe you could try to make it a bit easier on them by dumping your core first and then squirting a little Binaca up there.

Seriously Lisa, I'm not sure how to put Rodeos into the equation. I guess I'm just looking to keep things simple. However, if you think that it needs to be included feel free to post a revision of the draft that includes rodeos. If there is reasonable positive response I don't see why we couldn't include it in the 4th draft and push the final draft to be 5th.

Would anyone other than lisa? Care to contribute

Adjusted Maximum and Minimum numbers of flat flyers to more accurately represent combinations commonly used in hybrid formations. Eliminated time limits thereby sacrificing vSCR compliance in favor of FAI standards. Required that the whole formation be completely built and "controlled". (stingers may no longer release their grip on the formation until it is completely built) I am toying with the idea of removing the maximum number of jumpers that can launch the base. Does anyone have thoughts on this? I have noted that after "rejected" votes have been placed on prior drafts, no recommendations, concerns, or questions were posted. By all means I encourage you to reject a draft if you think it needs more work. But please don't do it "just because". Your input is valued. Please explain why you are rejecting it so it can be improved for this next and final draft (if one is required). Background: In the interest in creating a dropzone.com record category that allows people across skydiving disciplines to participate on equal footing I'd like to establish a new hybrid record category. The following suggestion for guidelines has been posted in the interest of establishing a standard for judging dropzone.com hybrid record attempts. This does not pertain to Hybrid RW (turning points between two or more complete hybrid formations). If the draft is rejected by 25% or more I'll revise it with any generally accepted suggestions and submit another draft in one weeks time. If this gets to the 4th draft and is rejected by 50% I'll just leave it to someone more qualified to establish the standard. 3rd draft follows: The formation may launch up to a 4-way base. No less than one-third (1/3) and no more than two-thirds (2/3) of the formation may fly belly to earth (flat). Participants of the formation not flying in a flat position must either be docked in a hanging (sitting or standing position while suspended from the flat base) or stinging position (sitting, standing which includes standing on top of the flat formation, heads-down, and inverted). The formation must be built as planned. Everyone on the dive must achieve a controlled formation using preassigned grips. Judgable video or still photograph is required to qualify for the record.

We have singing classes (the Crack and Cock choir) We have linguistic classes (Cunning Linguist) Beer classes (at the brewery) What else do you need? Well let's not forget forestry (at Glacier) Weight training (toting me around) and of coarse Anatomy (On the numbers, in the bar, Camp Orange)

Yikes someone (other than me) should really clean this list up. Oh yeah and I'll be there.

You must be one sick puppy.
