OmniSkore Coverage - U.S. National Skydiving Championships

Sunday 15 September

The sun chose not to cooperate with us this morning as a front eases through the area, but the forecast if for clearing skies and skydivers skydiving. Freefly has been posted through round 4, and why is someone calling Ted Wagner to manifest...

...yes, I'd question that too, Clean Air...we are on a weather hold until 0830, meanwhile the judges are working on round 5 of Freefly...

...holy bandwidth Bitman, the Sunday morning surfers are pounding the daylights out the omniserver...

The Sport Accuracy awards ceremony are about to begin and the CF Sequential jump-off was just put on a 15 minute call...and one hour later the jump-off is being judged, Soul Purpose just posted an 8 on it...so did C4, and they might be doing jump-offs all week long...

...wanna hear something really scary? This EIW coverage of the 2002 U.S. Nationals consists of over--count 'em--seven hundred individual files! It's about an even mix of .html and .jpg with a few .pdf and .txt files thrown in....

The clouds are still holding us down and I'll be taking a break for a while. Bored? Browse on over and buy a nationals video, please and thank you...

We're jumping hard now, the CF Sequential wrapped up (sorry guys!) with a come-from-behind silver finish for C4 on the second jump-off. 8-way Speed is on round 1, Freestyle is on round 3, and Freefly is posted through round 5.

It is just amazing what some of these freefly teams are doing in freefall. Hey! You can't do that! That's AGAINST the laws of physics! Did you flunk that class or what? It is IMPOSSIBLE for both of you to do that same turn at the same time and not occupy the same space! Ooh that was a slick move...

The End is approaching, and it's looking like I won't be around to report the last of the results before I head for the airport tomorrow morning. So come midday tomorrow if you are looking for some scores and you can't find them, please give me a few days to get this computer (what's left of it after FedEx nearly destroyed it) back to Arizona...

The judges are putting the final touches on the Freefly results, poking and prodding the numbers to see what comes out. CF 8-way speed will finish up tomorrow, along with Skysurf and Freestyle. I wish I could say when those results will be posted, but it may take a few days....

...okay the Freefly final results are posted, but I haven't cross checked them with the official printout and I'm going to do that first thing in the morning GOOD NIGHT!
