The plan was to jump on Saturday and Sunday with our sectors (and sometimes with the base) to get fall rate and reference pictures sorted out before Monday rolled around, when we would start with the actual record jumps with the entire contingent of planes, jumpers and camera flyers.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>More on the American perspective \u2013 we really like the European start time of 8:15 am, it\u2019s daylight, it\u2019s not too cold on the ground and it gives us all time to stop at Starbucks to grab a latte!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Exit and base \" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/14174a3b-4b30-459a-872f-7bf1208e1bc0.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, as I was saying &#8230; after the first jump on Monday, the winds became a bit too gusty to safely put over 200 canopies in the air, so we waited on the ground for the winds to cooperate&#8230; which they didn&#8217;t.  We made the best of the time we had on the ground posting on Facebook, texting our friends and family, sleeping, and, at times, actually talking to friends (who&#8217;d a thunk it!).  <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, we got to &#8220;enjoy&#8221; a record high temperature of 98\u2070F (or about 36\u2070C for the rest of the world) as we made three jumps chasing a new 2-point record.  After the third jump on Wednesday, judges Jim Rees and Mary Lou Laughlin announced that we had set a WORLD RECORD &#8211; 2-point 219-way!  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"First point, 219-way World Record Sequential\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/b306f65e-ac95-4b42-882c-31d30c869050.jpeg\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Second point, World Record Sequential 219-way\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/a8b7dc23-fbe0-465b-8caa-653afefa5259.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>We hugged, we cheered, we celebrated&#8230; then we set about going after the record we all came for &#8211; 3-points&#8230;. The previous world record sequential was 2 points of 202-way, set 2 years ago by the same organizing team, Sequential Games, at Skydive Perris. We knew we could beat the 2-pointer with a larger group but everyone <em>really<\/em>  wanted the fairytale scenario of 3 points with over 200 people&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Captains Andrey, Patrick, Milko, Doug, Marco, Alia, Polo, Dieter, Craig, Lise, Kate and Dan\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/fa015c54-9cd3-4079-93a0-1efbb97fcf4a.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>Through frustrations on the 4th jump on Wednesday and 4 jumps on Thursday, event organizers Patrick, Milko Hodgkinson and Dieter Kirsch, along with the rest of the sector captains kept the mood positive. The record was close, but eluded us as we completed the final planned jump of the event on Thursday.  So the organizers asked the jumpers to commit to no-more-than 2 jumps on Friday&#8230;truly a &#8220;Go Big or Go Home&#8221; scenario.  <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>a Go Big or Go Home scenario<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We were too close to say no.  So, we showed up on Friday for one (or two) final attempts at making magic happen.  The first jump was close.  So &#8211; Friggin&#8217; &#8211; Close.  Two beautiful points but not enough time for the third&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<pre>{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;embed&quot;,&quot;data&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MeXtremeSkydiving\/videos\/1497031487051672\/&quot;}<\/pre>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><em>Dancing in full gear before the last jump, by Jose &#8216;Nacho&#8217; Alvarez<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Before boarding for the last jump, the atmosphere was incredible.

Folks on the ground said the same thing.  So, we waited for the judges to finish their scrutinizing.  Again, the judges expertly let the suspense build before announcing that, yet again, a WORLD RECORD had been set!

At this event, we made FIVE jumps of 2-points (one 219, four 217), and one 3-point skydive of 217. Every time we built the first point, we completed the second!
