Jim,

New Jersey POPS FS record is a 21 way on
May 5, 2007.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

Make sure you have a current USPA judge on premise to get it certified to send in to the USPA

Thanks for the reminder. Skootz is working on that detail.

From the current USPA website:

State Record Procedures

Complete and submit the “Request for Certification of State Record” form.

Each record must be certified by at least one regional (or higher-rated) judge, rated in the discipline concerned, plus at least one of the following (all those certifying the record may be participants in the record):

a. Safety & Training Advisor
b. USPA board member
c. USPA staff member
d. Regional (or higher-rated) judge

Initial notification of record must be sent to USPA within 72 hours of the record being set and can be transmitted by e-mail fax: (540) 604-9741.

The completed “Request for Certification of State Record” form, along with the required fees*, must be received by USPA within seven days of the successful record.

* The record fee is $35 and includes one official certificate. Additional certificates may be purchased for $5 each (minimum of four certificates).

Blue skies,

Jim

I receved email from the USPA and a judge in the Gulf Coast Region stating that a judge does not have to be present to rule on a state record, but it is up to each individual judge.

"CERTIFICATION:
We, the undersigned, certify the record performance
aforementioned above. The attempt was made in accordance with the regulations of the USPA Skydiver’s Competition Manual. Photographic evidence, where appropriate, of the record was provided and verified."

I would line up my judge first making sure he/she agrees to judge remotely since the record has to be submitted to the USPA within seven days of the attempt.

Hope this helps.

Blue skies,

Jim

Thanks for the info. Skootz has done a great job. She has found a judge willing to make the trip to Idaho. Now all we need to do is jump!

What the heck?

FS-POPS 125?

[Skydivesg 7]

I see that Iowa is on your list for a 60 way FS however it is not on the USPA site.

I'm just curious. Do you list records on your site even if they aren't official with USPA?

Don't get me wrong, I know the 60 way happened because I was a part of it. But I don't think it was ever sent in to USPA.

Just wondering.

Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

Apparently, yes. I see Georgia FS-64. NOT USPA acknowledged. Matter of fact, comparing the two listings, they agree on very few things.

I see nothing that says POPS or SOS or JOES is acknowleged by USPA either. If it's there, I'm missing it.

Ahhhh...now I see why. For a State Record to be recognized by USPA, it's $35. But wait! For your $35 you get "a handsome certificate, suitable for framing"!

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Who defines "officialness"? USPA doesn't list POPS/SOS/JOES records, but there is a well defined worldwide organization that does, and it has well defined rules for setting said records. I submit they are every bit as "official" as USPA records.

And to the best of my knowledge, Guinness hasn't been blessed by any recognized world authority as the "official" arbiter of records either.

USPA does...for a small one-time fee of $35.
(Cash, checks, money orders and all major credit cards accepted.)

Send me only $25 and I'll certify any record "official".

Ohio just added a 22 way POPS and since no one had actually done the paperwork on the previous records... it looks like it will be the official state record too.

Where are you getting your data from? I only ask as for instance - VA State FS Record is 88, not 100.

Thanks. I realized only after - that I had questioned (replied) to the incorrect originator. Jim - ?

I notice that somewhere between late 2006 in this on-going thread & the latest (June 2010) update that you posted - all of a sudden under VA (Virginia) - the CRW-10 mysteriously just disappeared, and in its place "out of nowhere" is FS-100.

I don't think this is accurate - so again am asking (just asking ...that's all! ) where that #, and this particular piece of data has come from?

I'm not personally aware (doesn't mean it didn't happen) of even an un-official successful 100-way FS having taken place in VA / out of a VA DZ - although I do know 1st-hand, of the official (USPA recognized) current state record, of 88.
