kallend 2,106 #1 March 20, 2011 Since no-one else seems to have mentioned it, we did a nice 66-way for a Georgia State Record yesterday (Friday). We actually did it twice, the first time (attempt #2) was a completion and bigger than the previous record. However, someone's USPA membership renewal hadn't arrived in time so USPA wouldn't recognize it. So we had to do it again - life is hard! Maybe someone will post photos....

NWFlyer 2 #4 March 20, 2011 Glad to hear the rejump was a success. The initial jump that had a problem was all over Facebook posts, but no one (that I saw) had updated with the news of the success.

mirage62 0 #8 March 22, 2011 Here's some proof (if I did this right) All I can say was it was a super strong team for a state record and lot's of new "kids" got there first big way under there belt. 64-66 then 66-66 then 62-66 (our "worse") then 66-66. Then Sat 64-64 and 64-64 (We were trying for two points and came oh so close) Fortson Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #10 March 22, 2011 Congratulations to everyone! All I can say is, I don't know why the hell it took so long!!! 1997 to 2011! Maybe Alabama should try and beat the 40 way record I was on in 1997 too.
