The JSM boogie in 2001 which sparked the birth of SkyFest had a ceremony of 11. Thats when I started trying to beat each year, so we are now up to 24 as of SF'03. Maybe I should say unofficial Record, but I have had no challenges yet.

Cool, our web is back up again, Thanks Al. If anyone needs to sign up for events go towww.skyfestboogie.com You must go to the What should we do? thread in the Bonfire and vote and help us decide what we do with the Pink Mafia Sisters and our SCR Ceremony. Ali, Mel and Brook, don't blame me some birdie must have told someone? I think the bird was swooping a turtle, dunno?

Thats hilarious. The majority of dz.commers. Well it wasn't just them, other factors came into play. But I hear ya.
-
Rats its under construction.
-
They are maggots they must play with other maggots! Derek Thomas (owner of Sunpath and Lyle Presse organizer of PST) will be at SKyFest as well. Between the two of them they probably have 17,000 jumps, i wonder if the Pink Mafia can help us get them? Hell maybe I'll even do it again. What the???/ No way I have my mantle and trophies already.

Go to www.scr-awards This is a major part of Skydiving hstory, started in 1967. Join the fun.

The majority has spoken, no Tunnel, sorry folks we will consider it for next year. Are we there yet, yet, yet?
-
We were unable to get that arranged, we will be ready for next year. We tried but no luck.

Sounds like the beginning of a new Team? I believe I have the resources to go bigger with the JSF and SkyFest , just lacking a Team. We need to chat, I will share some ideals with you in person at SkyFest. Can't give away all the good ones.

We have wanted to take ours nationwide for a while. But there is a ton of work involved. My brother and I have at least 400 hours apiece per year for just this event. We have been approached by 4 DZ'z across the country to take it there. I have always wanted to do Satellite events to raise money for the Scholarship. I love to chat with you at SkyFest about and share my experience with you. What I can't figure out is why there aren't more boogies like ours that raises money for Skydivers? The more students we keep in the air, the more coaches we produce the greater the sport becomes. Everyone wins.

Turtle created a Poll in Bonfire for me, please cast your vote, it makes a difference. Yes I know I am in Florida but I am not counting the votes so it will be done right.
-
I don't know if I am excited, nervous, or just way behind! I keep thinking I have forgotten something, like an airplane or beer?? Yikes, that would be bad. Thank you so much for your support and everyone elses as well. We really need to break 300 registered this year. It has been really tough to keep this thing going. It consumes your life. I can't believe that 2005 will be our 5th year, and oh are we going to go really BIG, i hope
-
I will ask if that is possible? I haven't been there in a while, so I assume this is not a traffic problem for whuffo's?
-
Thanks for doing that.
-
Ok every one I would have done a poll but I don't know how to set it up, maybe someone could do it for me? Here is the situation. Adrenln tunnel has approached us on bringing out their wind tunnel for SF 04. www.adrenln.com Here's the problem, it is noisy, very very loud they said they would stack hay around it to reduce it, but by how much? With all the events going on do we really want to add something else? Where do we put it? I think the parking lott is too close. The other side of the pond would be good, but then there is the traffic problem. I think it would be better next year that way we could get the town involved and be better prepared for the traffic it might create, don't want whuffo's young and old wondering across the landing area. We could not have it run Saturday night during dinner, awards and SCR ceremony, so that leaves the rest of the days. What do ya'll think, yes, no, maybe next year? And remember this is not a Skyventure tunnel. There is a difference. Not putting it down, it does exactly what it was made for, whuffo's. Still a ton of fun!

Hey Trent we are up to 17 for the 2nd Gen. Skydive. Thats the latest I have heard. Hey do you think we can turn hybrid pieces again? J

I grew up on the DZ in Seagoville Texas and the Him has been around for as long as I can remember. I am now 36. Where or Who it came from I have no clue. J www.skyfestboogie.com

Recent Para Commander Jumps?
upndownshop replied to freefaller76's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
I remember that one! Dave Cat2 in Dallas jumps his once a year. We also break out the Delta 2 each year during Skyfest. Russell I don't know if remember the Yellow and Black Security system that Jerry jumped, but I put it together with his ParaPlane and jumped it! What a ride, yet I stood it up in the peas. Don't know if I will do it again not interested in a round reserve. Will you make it to SkyFest this year? [/url]www.skyfestboogie.com[url] J Schrimsher -
Spaceland is not my home DZ so I would not be the one to ask them for any favors, but maybe we can work that out when we get there. I will do what I can. You might also contact Spaceland and at least see what they normally charge, just so you have an idea. Glad to see that you are going, you will have a good time.

So Erika You mentioned a dress code for the Ceremony, have you had any luck with that? I am sure that Bill Newell wouldn't mind nor many others. I think SkyFest shirts would be suitable enough, don't you? We like white.
-
Are you kidding? I would never do that Keith, I enjoy my life to much! Ok I have one ? on the 2 Gen. SCR. Do I have to go through the ceremony again? I prefer to drink beer these days. Keith I started adding up the SCR/SCS that I had organized in the past and discovered that I have completed 85 successful SCR/SCS! I am pretty excited about that. Maybe I will get closer to 100 by the end of SkyFest! Thanks for the help! I will get that logo to you shortly. J

QuoteI can't wait to do all the kickass FF jumps and maybe have a beer or two. D.J.Quote D J was up? It will be good to see you again. Hey, you have been to every SF as well, isn't that correct? I can't wait! J
-
You got it! Better yet we will have to make a jump. Maybe this year I could get my Pink Patch. Can you believe it my brother and I bring back this event and we still don't have one oh well maybe someday ?? Just talked to T J Landgren he wants to do a hybrid with a Ten way base, this is going to rock.
