state records in general

[superstu 0]

i was wondering if there was a place to find out what every states formation record is? and if not every state, what is oregon's and washington's records?

In general? There isn't much of a formal place to register them. What happens is this, for a particular state, there is a number of jumpers who are invited to get on these things repeatedly. Therefore, each state has a core group who knows the numbers.

Also, there is a variety of records - single-point, sequential, POPS, headdown, womens, and a different record for types of formations. Stars, jewels, etc.

Usually, there isn't that many dzs in a particular state that could host a record, so there is a central spot for it.

The New England record was just set this Tuesday at 81. That would be the Mass. record now too

Can it be considered a state record if participants were from all over the world ?

[darkwing 5]

Generally records are established by location, not the origins of the participants.

I know that this wasn't a serious question because of the after it, but it is kind of funny when I think of it.

My friends and I travel to do state records when we get the chance. I just returned from the Georgia record attempt. Only 36 showed up, so we didn't get more than the required 66. Did some 2 and 3 point jumps anyway.

Anyway, it is funny that people from other states will be on a state record. There probably should be some kind of rule, but I look at it as a chance to do big-ways and visit with friends.

Is fas as I know most of the people on Texas record
were Texans. I hope they will let one Russian in next yesr

Naaaa.

They had us all stand up while the folks from Texas sat. Must have been 20 that were from out of state - course that leaves 105 from Texas.

Never mind

The first 100-way was done in Muskogee, OK back in the 80's, if I recall correctly.

I believe it is still the current state record.

It just took TX a couple of decades to catch up and better it.

Right on, Texas is now all the way up to 48% of the Illinois record.

Yeah, but who brags about single point skydives?

Florida holds the two point 120 way record. Which by the way I was on, and I'm not from Florida. Note: that's two points

I belive the Calif. record is 135 set by JFTC, again, on that one, and I'm not from Calif.

I think state records are for the fun of it, getting together to see old friends.

John and I were both on the Florida 2-pt 120-way, hence the little after my post. I was teasing him.

I love to get together for the record stuff for the same reason. I get to see people more than twice a year. Still, doesn't it seem odd when state records are set by people from other states? The 120-way was definitely diverse. People from a lot of countries. I learned a lot that week.
