I've
been trying to get on the Ellen Show for a year now
to Share the Love of Life with Ellen and her
friends. Please help me at least let her know
what
SkydiverGirls is about by responding to her
invitation to "Be
Part of the Show" on her website.
I know a lot of
you want to help but who has time? I know how
that is so here's a cheat sheet if you don't mind my
giving you form-letter answers. You need a
video and a story so I'm providing a few choices so
people can help without spending all day doing it.
If you want to do your
own answers, go big and thank you for your time.
They also ask for a VHS in this. Don't worry
about it for now.
If all you can
do is send a Web address and paste my story in,
that's great, please go for it! Estimated
time... under 5 minutes... seriously. You only
need to fill in the areas with an asterisk *
Thank you for
your help. Every letter counts!
**************************************************************************************
Follow these simple steps:
1.
Click here for the web form on Ellen's page
Here's what the
Webform looks like >>>>>>>>>
2.
Fill in your info
(Name, Address, etc)
3. There's a space for
Web address of your video.
Cut and paste one of these into that space
(pick one)

4. Cut and paste this
in the
Tell us your story
box:
Hi Ellen,
I'm
contacting you to support KFC's campaign to get on
the Ellen Show. She's been trying for over a
year now and even sent you a bunch of video clips to
get your attention.
She does
this video podcast called SKYDIVERGIRLS about women
in extreme sports, primarily skydiving (SkydiverGirls.com).
It's a
great family friendly show designed to empower
people to live life to the fullest, create role
models for girls, and open people's eyes to
skydiving in general... and the people in it.
Those
who have seen SKYDIVERGIRLS love it but it really
needs support from someone like you to keep it
alive.
First off, it's completely home-made. KFC
films this stuff on a home handi-cam worn on her
helmet and then edits it in her bedroom and posts
the shows to her website, iTunes, etc. She's
finally got her shows on VCAST (Verizon's cell
network). That's her biggest
pod-accomplishment yet! Yay!
She
has no film or media or editing background at all.
Until she started this video podcasting business
back in 2006, she was a bank executive (before that
she worked in software and before that the US Navy).
Of
course, now she's a starving skydiver trying to pay
for training. Yeah, she's trying to be in the
next Women's Vertical World Record (upside
down skydiving thing). It's a ton of work and
two-tons of money to train like she should.
KFC was hoping the SKYDIVERGIRLS shows would be able
to generate enough to cover the training but it's
not working out that way yet. Instead she's
working her butt off with little time and no money
to train. Eeeek!
We hope that by getting your
attention and sharing what she's doing with
SKYDIVERGIRLS, maybe you could help her get the
exposure, meet the right people, etc. to get
SKYDIVERGIRLS earning enough to fund that World
Record Training. KFC doesn't want any
hand-outs, just a chance to show her work and maybe
even have her concept picked up by professionals
who can help "Share the Love of Life" with even more
people.
That's the SKYDIVERGIRLS slogan... Share the Love of
Life! A lot of people never knew they could
love life so much until they experienced skydiving
or another extreme challenge teaching them
perspective.
Enjoyment of your journey has everything to do with
perspective.
PLEASE help us Share the Love of Life! Check
out the shows and I know you'll dig them too and ask
KFC to come on your show.
Happy Holidays and
Thank you :-)

Don't forget to hit the
Send
button at the bottom of the form!

I Love Ellen - 01
Episode

Web
Address
http://www.veoh.com/videos/v732370whctnqNq
Story
One of the
reasons I relocated from beautiful Toronto Canada to
the Los Angeles area was to meet Ellen DeGeneres.
Her show is taped here in Burbank, California.
I believe that
support from Ellen would make a huge positive impact
on the success of SKYDIVERGIRLS. I also
believe that if she knew about what we do at
SKYDIVERGIRLS, she would TOTALLY DIG IT!
I've
decided to send her tapes asking to be on
her show. I hope to someday
"Share the Love of Life" via a regular
segment on Ellen. Women in Extreme
Sports is SO KEWL and POSITIVE VIBE!
Here is
the first of however many it takes.
I'll post them for you to see as well and
ask that you also ping her for this effort.

I love Ellen because she's "real" and not only is
she entertaining, she's informative. See what
I learned from watching the Ellen DeGeneres Show!
We think Ellen
would LOVE our message of positive vibe and Sharing
the Love if she only knew about what we're doing.
Please help us get her attention by going to her
website and asking to see SKYDIVERGIRLS on Ellen!

Fastrax Blue
Episode
013 (time=01:45)
Web Address
http://www.veoh.com/videos/v732326MynxnQyM
Story
One Meet
Fastrax Blue. They are an all girl 4-way
competition skydiving team. Yes, this is a
real sport and a 4-way is one of the
categories/disciplines. We catch the girls
training in the Perris Valley Wind Tunnel.
Tunnels are great for training because you can get
many skydives worth of practice in a very short
period of time. One skydive=one minute of
freefall training but it takes a lot more time for
the entire jump experience (~40mins). Wind
Tunnels are continuous but you still need breaks as
it's a real workout to fly this much.
Stay tunes for
more teams, more disciplines, and more girls kick'n
it!
See our "Lindsay"
episode 005, for an introduction to wind tunnels.
This
show is not based on Ellen but we all shout out to
Ellen at the end of the clip.
