It was an unofficial TeXXas State Wingsuit Record. Called the TeXXas SkyFlock...22 way

Photoshopped! For those of you I haven't met in person yet, I've attached a pic of what I *really* look like. Walt Nope, missing the bloddy nose.

what?! You did something nice?!!!

Yep did it! I was assistant Mgr of a Firestone Store in the early 90's. I was about 24 dating a mid 30's woman, we went out and ended up in the store late at night. After clearing his desk we proceeded to invade a Volvo that was getting a head job. I ended up delivering that vehicle to the customer with my boss the next day. I told him about it, he laughed and still does to this day, we are still great friends to.

They were 23 last year during the event. Not sure what he does. The champ will be 35, An2 46 thats what I know for now. gonna be another great day! J

23 for regular AC, $46 for AN2, not sure on the Heli yet. Steve has that info. Well, the boogie is here. Steve needs to post it online so we can plan our finances, or plan our jumps to fit our means. Boogie fee is $40 on Saturday, or $15 on Sunday. There is no one-day fee for Saturday only. So for me to come down Saturday just to jump the Antonov-2 is going to cost me $86. Blech! I hear what you are saying, SF does not control the jump prices (although I did get the AN2 jumps $22.oo cheaper than WFFC). I agree the ticket price change could have been announced. I do know $20. is dirt cheap around the country. $22 is average. I know I dont hve to remind everyone the benefits of an event like this and the amount of work put into it. And its still a good value for the money. Please both of you come see me when you get here and say hello. We do appreciate your support, and will do what every we can do make your stay worth while. J The event does start on Wed. and we had a great day!

Yes there is... not sure what day it wi ll be here. The Champ jumps will be $35.00. No Balloon because the vehicle would not be able to retreive it from the field after landing. The wether is perfect again!! Adam from Pony Printing donated a Hawaiian Dinner, to be served at 8:oo p, Come on out!! J

23 for regular AC, $46 for AN2, not sure on the Heli yet. Steve has that info. We are rocking and rolling and the wether is great! J

Update Friday night 2 bands!!! Supposed to be real good. Working on a catared hawaiian dinner for Wednesday (maybe even free!!) Wether is still great!!!! More to come!!

Relax a bit, dont I remember a story about the pool at SDSM? WE WILL NOT NEED THE DUCKS, THE WETHER WILL BE GREAT!! But we do have the other 49 here. What day ya getting here? J

Just giving people a chance to learn about their gear, and check out the latest. Its not like we have a Jet or anything. dont you ever leave this place? Sometimes, but then i post as my ficticious name sangiro Hey HH I have a trailer slot for you if you want!! let me know soon.

I ignored it because there was were name calling. Figured it was an imposter, fucker! No Tandems on the Beach jump, but topless experienced jumpers are ok

Yeah, well I got here at 6:30! Patience my friend. Figured someone your age would know about. So when are we going to talk about docking the powered parachutes

What are you THINKING? J/K . . . about 6 hours Well it depends on how much stopping you do. I saw a water park coming in from Dallas, It was at exit 66, Iwas thinking of going there on my way back to Dallas, of course I wont be by myself Is that the one he is referring to?

Just makes ya wanna tip back a few eh? Egon would have loved her!!

we can add it to the list of possible seminars on Wed.

Will let you know at the end of the week.

Just for those who worry. In regards to the wether, 20% to 30% chance of rain is normal for this time of year. The forcast was the same last year and we had 5 days of jumping. Its the 50% to 60% that we worry. And no I dont plan on eating my words besides, spaceland is real good about workig around the clouds. See yall soon!

I've got a Coleman and I like it but am going to throw it out because somehow it got a slow leak in it (maybe from my cat clawing it) and I can't find the leak! I'm sure they're all fine for sleeping at the DZ or for having a friend conk out on the floor. Walt Bring it to SF I ll find that leak for you. (Was a district manager for tire stores for 15 years) If I cant find the hole no-one can..... damn that sounded bad....

I am in my Rv outside my brothers house in dallas loading things up for SF. Will arrive in Houston Sunday night and start setting up. Cleaning out some PC files and came across this. Yes had a couple of 7&7's in 2007 for the 7th year of SkyFest so maybe a bit sentimental. Key board sticky from spilling a drink,,,,,, This was written by a winner of a skydiving scholarship (JSF). Hope I am not out of line here but SF is my passion. Sometimes when things get tough and I ask myself why do i keep doing this? Its folks like Robin that keep me going. Thank you ALL J Schrimsher

OH OH OH OOH OH i want to play. BTW it did become an official Texas State Record. A 30-way Womens. I will never forget the excitement on the ground when we were watching it build!!! A great memory in my life! Sure would like to feel that again. I wonder if I could do video, oh wait Norm Kent will be there, dont think I could bump him off the load I want my Pink Patch!

That just hurts hey hey hey no fighting at skyfest allowed!!! no drama allowed,,, well except by me and my personal life!!! of course being exposed nation wide thru your freakn photos!!! now that i think about it, Lee YOU OWE ME!!!!! like a wife and 20K

ahhhhh i i am touched... friends got to love em. thanks guys J
