Where did this take place?

Skydive Arizona in Eloy. Nov  6 2024. And for some reason, the .png's from the OP aren't loading up on my side, so here's the pics fom Trunk. And yes, as Joe mentionned, it's a Total Break Sequential record.

So -- what's next? 

I've also been on some (lesser, admittedly) signature events, and I didn't think the comment was dismissive at all -- it said the achievement was enough to impress someone isn't automatically impressed. 

How many planes were used?

I don't know what next TBH. We used 7 planes (Twin Otters and Skyvans) and we started off with 156ways, so with the same number of planes, we could do a little bigger than 151. Could also add another plane without needing to ferry one in.  Or a 3 pointer bigger than the 108, 3 point record (I beleive that's current 3 point TBS record).

 

But it's been 2 years in a row for the Eloy events, not sure there will be one next year as AirSpeed is rebuilding with 2 new members, so they'll probably focus hard on 4way. It's getting harder and harder in Europe to get the planes... Chicago is doing a 250 single point next year I beleive.

How well did the other jumps go? Was it a matter of a couple not making the second point on the unsuccessful/training jumps? or?

Does the full break sequential have to be all simultaneous? or just everyone has to break grips?

Apparently, it doesnt have to be all simultaneous. But Every jumper needs to fly idependently at some point during the transition (so if Joe has my leg, and doesnt let go fast enough and I go from Grip 1 to Grip 2 on Ellen in front of me, it's a bust). And you cannot have any of the same grips on any of the points, even after a full break between points.

We got the record on jump 3 of being "allowed" to build to the full build.

The 1st day was just Base and Sector practice jumps. Then we did some full size jumps but not planning to build the full 1st point, then full 1st point and only transition to the 2nd point.

On the 2nd of the 3 full sequence jumps , we didnt get full altitude (ATC restriction), so we really got it pretty early on the plan!

It is just such a sweet skydive, congratulations. Oh, and I'm sorry I caused that bust:)
