Couple things wrong with this post. First if you have ever meet TK would you think he has lived a life of "normality".....does even TK think he'd "normal".... I think not I understand his post, from his point of few. Mine would be something along the lines of....."a man from Georgia, has had guns all his life. Has never had any formal training other than his father taking him hunting. Has many many guns in his house. None are under lock and key, one is loaded and within easy reach of his bed, but not visiable. His children have all been taught the same respect he was taught about firearms. He to has never needed a gun. Just two different mindsets. I really don't care how others handle the use or none use of guns. I just want to keep mine. FWIW no one needs a machine gun to defend there house...... Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Lisa you would let Spence "have" you daughter??? OMG Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

No shit, are there really 4 people who would rather have a whistle??? I know lot's of people have never held a gun and might be scared but if you are being attacked you really rather have a WHISTLE Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

I think that there are some people that are concerned about the Fla Pop's robbing the talent down so let me address this. I'd guess that the POP's record has about 10 folks that would have come to this- at the most. I know that we picked up 4 that would have gone to POP's. So that's a net -6 lost to POP's We have a LOT more very capable under the age of 40 people on the list than 6. I've done the POP's record for years and hate that the dates fell together but I promise you that if the GSR doesn't make OR the POP's record it won't be because the conflict on the dates. Jump numbers is a terrible way to look at things but FWIW the average number of jumps on the consideration list is way over 2,000. Personally I'm pulling for both groups to be safe and get the records. Fortson Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

My favorite Lee story...... He had just got a new and expensive sight for his video.....he was sitting in the back of the king air as our group went out. Lee was sitting in the back....there MIGHT have been a little gap between second to last and last (me) cayse Lee stuck his big ol head out the door to film the groups dive. He never say me....and I didn't slow down. As a get out the door the sight catches on my r.w. suit, spins me against the side of the palne and LOL breaks off. (Yes I made my slot) Lee is PISSED when we all land and he wasn't no small guy. Get's right in my face raising hell - I think the sight was about 150 bucks. Anyway he pause between his cussing and I say "Yeah that was pretty dumb sticking your head out there wasn't it" And he smiles and says "You damn straight" I miss that boy Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Thought that it might be a good time to announce the plane captains for the record. These guys are making my life a lot easier. They all have tons of experience and each will be helping their plane to be the best possible. Jack Donovan – Lead Plane +2,800 jumps 25 years jumping +250 One hundred way formation jumps 400 way World record holder Scott Franklin – Right Trail + 4,000 jumps 19 years jumping 3 World records 300/357/CRW National four way competitor Jonathon Perl – Left Trail + 3,300 jumps 25 years jumping 4 World records 246/300/357/400 Video team: Bill Knowles Landon Bryan If you interested in a slot please contact me at Fortson@rose.net The formation has been designed and we are starting to slot people that have shown the desire and talent to be on this. More details to follow. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Update and info on the Georgia State record event. There seems to be some confusion out there about the talent and scope of the attempt so I thought I would update and post a few thoughts. · You do NOT have to be a Georgia resident to be on the event. The idea is nice but let’s face it folks almost NO state record is made up of residents only. I don’t believe there are 66 active jumpers in Georgia · Invitations have not gone out. Yes, there are people who know they will get a slot. There are currently 6 or more world record holders on the list…they will get a slot and they know it. · The skill level just won’t be there. Perhaps this is because of the POP’s conflict or the camps that some of the low timers have gone to. What I can say is this is a record event. If someone isn’t cutting it they will be asked to sit down. There will be some low timers that get a chance. They have proven they are worth the chance – we all started somewhere. BUT the average number of jumps is well over 2,000. We have several world record holders on the jump, Kaleidoscope participates, no it isn’t the 400 way, it’s a 66 way state record that we want to set and I believe it will be!! · You have to do a camp to get on the event NOPE NADA NOWAY but if none of the plane captains know you or will endorse you - strongly- it’s going to be harder to get a slot because we have a lot of people that have these endorsements. · AND MY FAVORITE ONE It’s full. NOPE NADA. It will fill up. We have close to 60 on the list currently but that doesn’t mean these 60 have slots. We haven’t even announced the other plane captain – but you’ll love the one we are lining up. There are plenty of slots left. Speaking of which. If your interested in a slot please send me the following and I’ll get back in touch with you: Name Number of jumps Largest completed formation Number of jumps in the last 6 month I hope the above clears up some of the confusion. Please feel free to PM me or contact me with any questions at Fortson@rose.net I’ll be more than glad to help. Be safe! Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

No invitations have gone out the list is around 60. I'll be at the 100 ways in Deland next weekend and will get to see lot's of folks. Are you back from Japan yet? Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Sorry flying in, but way to go man. You got a slot on K jumps and you are well on your way to your goal! Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

GREAT, I hope to be there with some folks Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Although jumpers from many other states will be on this record I really would hate to not have a slot for a qualified Georgia skydiver. If your waiting to apply (and your from Georgia) please drop me a note. I know it's a long time out. Also, I've had several people think that you had to go to a "camp" to get a slot. THAT's not true at all! If you aren't known to any either Fortson, Jack or Chris or someone that we know and trust very well than someone we have jumped with might get the slot. Believe me these camps are not money makers, they are for people to get seen - and hopefully have some fun. Stay safe everyone! Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Does anyone know the dz rule for how many jumpers to make the plane fly? I really like SDA and the people who jump there I flew up weekend before last and got 2 whole jumps in. (From 10:00 to 4:30) There seem to be plenty of people but the loads were taking forever. Hey Spence will you let me jump with you?

"Libernazi" hummmm given that he is jewish does this seem like a really good slap! Way to go Lucky. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Naaaaaaaaaaa Kallend as usual your wrong. They got the r.w. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Skymama asked me to repost this as it got deleted when she was "cleaning up" some post on this thread. I have no idea what she needed to clean up but from what I hear we don't want to piss her off. FYI worth, close to 50 on the list now. Offical invites will go out shortly. Hey all, Some more details for the record. first we are past well past 40 so far. I have to say I am surprised at the numbers coming in. All of the below is subject to change but as of now. For the record attempt it's $20 registration fee and a $3.00 add on to a regular lift ticket. For these that are there on Thursday we will warm up. The event starts at READY to jump (tickets in hand jump suit on walking to your slot) 8:30 Friday morning. We will jump Friday and Saturday or until we get the record. AFTER the record for these that are interested we will do competition 20 ways with video. Please keep in mind that this is a record attempt. It you sign up and get a slot your with the group until Saturday afternoon, unless you get cut.....and if you do I'll bring you a beer later! This is shaping up nicely.

Who's the TBA organizer? How much is registration. Jump tickets? Man I would LOVE to come to this one. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

This comes around from time to time on dz.com. It's simple if you make more you should pay more, if there is a tax break you should get more. But right up front and plain. The total bullshit about anyone that makes a hight standard living ($$$.$$$) "they stole it, they screw someone, they got it from there parents" IS JUST PURE BS. Did some of that happen of course you damn DORKS. Did most people do that NO. I admire people like Kallend that make a good living and are more than willing to give MORE back. Bill does fine to, he seems willing to put more back (in taxes) but STOP saying the rest of us "stole" our way into making a good living. We may not want to give it all back - I don't. But I pay a BUNCH in, and I believe in that. But I have worked hard for 25 years to get there, stop calling us theifs Rant over. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

The record jumps will start early in the morning....the muff brothers will still be asleep Anyone who signs up will need to be ready to jump at 8:30 Friday and 9:00 Saturday. Our goal will be to get the record safely and as fast as possible. There will be plenty of lifts between our attempts! Close to 30 confirmed, if your interested please drop me a line.

Yep, but did we mention the Ga Pop's record on Sunday? It won't be near as crowded as the Fla record! All joking aside Tim and Chris did everything they could to avoid the same dates. The Fla record is ALWAYS fun but we will have a good safe time to. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

6th jump on Saturday - guess it's close enough to call a tie. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Bill you still feeling good about the 10th jump? If they didn't get a 5th in today - haven't heard - I'm feeling pretty good. The 4th jump people were tired....Saturday a wake up jump and then the next two should be it, unless I'm missing something. I have heard it is HOT out there.

Man they are soooooooooooo close already. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Second jump today, get's the record and Bill w Will admit defeat. (well prob not) ....but to cover my "bet" this will be there "first" attempt to 18,000 Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

There up on number three or have done it already. Maybe the winds are gone for the event Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
