About TSK Festival

TSK stands for Team Sunkist.  But it means a lot more than that.  From its inception, TSK was all about sky family getting together to celebrate their love of life, family, and skydiving together.  

You'll start seeing a lot of strange acronyms and hear all kinds of new words at TSK, and they all mean something.  Many terms have a long history behind them.  New ones are created every year.  The mock up is covered in them.  You'll learn the language while you're here, but here are a few to get you started.

ISTNBU - It Sucks to Not be Us

SHMJB - So Help Me Justin Bieber

UFL - Uniform Fabrication Lab

BOSS1 - A nickname for our founder, TSK #1, Eugene Zimmer

BOSS2 - A nickname for our co-founder, TSK #2 Henry Ottley

KR8R - A nickname for the keg plane (it holds up to 8 kegs)

KR1R - A nickname for the single keg "tool chest"

BLTs - Boogie Life Truisms

PBDB - Pontoon Boat Dive Bar (the bar floated in previous years but she's no longer sea worthy)

This tradition dates way back. If you are in the plane climbing to altitude and somebody shouts Shawanga!, it is everybody's sworn duty to respond,  Fly, baby, fly! It's a Skydive the Ranch tradition. If you don't answer the "Shawanga" call with the rest of the group and the plane crashes, yep, your fault.

Read up more on the history here.

Bring your car/van/camper and/or feel free to pitch a tent (heh heh)  in any of the designated camping areas! There are no camper hookups, so come self-sufficient.  There are limited hot water outdoor showers but there ARE lots of hanging showerbags to take as many bird baths as you’d like. (Ya know, to wash your bits-n-pits.)”
