The World Games website is pretty good except for the German! http://www.worldgames2005.de/en/teilnehmer/teilnehmer.php?id=12320 http://www.worldgames2005.de/en/teilnehmer/teilnehmer.php?id=12327 http://www.worldgames2005.de/en/teilnehmer/teilnehmer.php?id=12353 Blue skies, Jim

I can't believe it. Yesterday while walking back to the hotel, I get a voicemail saying I won a HALO jump at the convention! WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!

Are you glad now we talked you into NOT cancelling your flight to Houston? Blue skies, Jim

I don't think Omniskore is carrying this one. I have not heard anything and there is nothing on their web site.

Spaceland Anomaly will be there as the USA Team. Stevie Boyd, Jed Lloyd and Trent Alkek who posts frequently.

I'll be there Thursday!

Hey everyone...if you are over 40 and a member of POPS, there will be a POPS Texas Record attempt during Skyfest. If you want to participate send me a PM with your total jumps and big way experience. There are a few slots left. Maximum will be 70-way. Blue skies, Jim

Passed the word to Trent in NYC a few minutes ago. The pullup cords are ready for all of you---Anomaly neon orange! Blue skies, Jim

The Scott's Grip made by Scott Fischer works on closed loop carpet and has a hole for a tent stake to use outside. It will not work with open loop carpet. Fly Vertical also has them in stock. Blue skies, Jim

I think the scores will be posted on: http://www.worldgames2005.de/en/sportarten/trendsport/luftsport/ Blue skies, Jim

Good luck to Anomaly who leaves for the World Games today. Have a great trip and stay safe. Blues to Jed, Stevie & Trent! Blue skies, Jim

Many years ago in another lifetime, I had a business and was a member of the BBB. I quickly became disillusioned with them for many reasons, but most important was when I had a dispute with another BBB member/customer or vendor. I quickly found out that a lot of the members were members solely to take advantage of the BBB arbitration system because they were always in trouble! I am really hesitant to do business with anyone who openly announces they are a BBB member. Blues, Blue skies, Jim

Don't worry Justi, you will have gear to use if the new rig doesn't make it. Always better to jump your own, but jumping is better than not jumping, right Alana! Blue skies, Jim

Heal quickly and thanks for being there! You probably kept a few other people from getting bit. Blue skies, Jim

Sorry. Hope you find your dog. Trent had a half chow half shepard who was terrified of lighting and thunder. Over the years she escaped the yard a few times and we were called when she was found miles away. Check with the pound and SPCA frequently. They get so many animals they might not remember you are looking. Blue skies, Jim

Glad you got it back! We may need those wheels next year in Dublin! Blue skies, Jim

Hope it gets to you on time! Talking to Trent yesterday and they have had a run on their new Anomaly T-shirts and may not have any left for SkyFest! If the guys have time before they leave for Germany, they will order some more. Blue skies, Jim

Ummhhh...let's see 20 jumps (filled in for a 4-way team) and that other stuff's not important! Blue skies, Jim

At Spaceland just tell John or Ivette in manifest if you like to freefly or RW and one of them will page another jumper to introduce to you and who you can jump with. Some people don't realize that on days when teams are training, there may not be a lot of fun jumpers on the dz especially if there is only one plane running. Info for everyone: BA will be back next week with brand new -27 engines. Come out and help us break-in the new Super Otter. Blue skies, Jim

TM Donny talked to Yoshi Monday night. Jason is talking and responds to questions, but is under heavy sedation due to the pelvis fractures. Because of the swelling they cannot operate. He is very bruised, but no word on other injuries. Blue skies, Jim

Yoshi's brother was involved in an accident in Indiana. Please keep them both in your thoughts and prayers. Blue skies, Jim

I like the lead belly. Very secure and holds plenty of flat or round weight packs. Blue skies, Jim
