upndownshop 0 #1 March 29, 2005 Need help. I believe the 20 year anniversary of the TeXXas 20 way is this year. Can anyone help with more details? This is my first place to start the research, tried to get a hold of Jack, but no luck yet. Thanks J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #2 March 29, 2005 QuoteI believe the 20 year anniversary of the TeXXas 20 way is this year. I believe you are correct. But popularity has waned as more jumpers go into other disciplines besides RW. QuoteCan anyone help with more details? That name is supposedly copyrighted by the two people that organized it: Laird Cogburn and Madolyn Murdock. Madolyn is now a USPA national director, and you can look up her e-mail address in the front of "Parachutist" magazine. She lives in Pearland, Texas, south of Houston. It would be great to have a reunion TeXXas 20-way meet... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 March 29, 2005 I'm also going to push to have enough Aggies and have them dedicate a couple of jumps to get an Aggie TeXXas 20-way jump. We have a stack of those maroon patches, just no one has earned them in a number of years.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #9 March 31, 2005 QuoteKeith, don't get sucked in, I've been to Aggieland twice now, and I don't even get to be on the Aggie TeXXas ways Who knows. It used to be to get one you did a TeXXas 20-way onto campus, landing on the Polo Field, BUT due to risk management overkill after 1999 we're just now starting to work through the red tape to do open field demos onto campus. Although the Golden Knights obviously had no problem and 41 broke through the red tape to be able to jump on campus. I have no clue what it takes, I wasn't the one deciding who was on the dive last year. I do know that the only non-Aggies on the dive were a couple of people that have done a LOT for the Aggies over the past few years. This is about Aggie tradition, skydiving tradition and the Aggie skydiving traditions. Its not about getting another number or another patch. I'm sorry you're so upset about the dive last year, we'll talk to whoever is organizing it this year and ask the rest of the Aggies about getting you on the jump if you really want to be on them.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #12 March 31, 2005 QuoteAggie, doesnt the Marroon require 11 (orange and white) guys on it for the non aggies to qualify. Well, we could do a 20-way like that, BUT instead of a TeXXas star we'd have to make a bit "13-0" formation.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Luminous 0 #14 April 1, 2005 QuoteIt used to be to get one you did a TeXXas 20-way onto campus, landing on the Polo Field mmmmmm..... my rekinin of it is used to be to get one you did a TeXXas 20 way, which means a completed TeXXas star. Women got the pink patch for participating in a completed TeXXas star. The only way for a man to get a pink patch was to whine and beg 19 other women to go with him, and he was required to exit last AND dock last. I attempted to get one years ago but failed in the whineing and begging department. Never got 19 other women, 15 was close but Jay Tribble won the raffle to jump with them all day.
