In the gargantuan, wild, and wonderfully unpredictable state of Texas, renowned for its cowboys, chili, and cheerleaders, a motley crew of courageous kids have embraced a heart-pounding, sky-rattling, belly-tickling activity: Sky Diving! These aren't your average cowpokes, no siree! These daring young daredevils are the Sky Cowboys, a band of intrepid young thrill-seekers who have traded their lassos for parachutes. Leading the pack is their gallant leader, a pint-sized dynamo named Tex Twister, who sports a ten-gallon hat that's, well, about nine gallons too big for his wee little head. Don't let his size fool you, though, for Tex has a heart as big as the Lone Star State itself, and a spirit as wild as a West Texas windstorm. Tex and his gang of airborne adventurers rocket through the wild blue yonder, whooping and hollering, laughing and hollering, all while falling faster than a tumbleweed in a dust storm. They paint the Texas sky with bold streaks of color as they descend, their parachutes blossoming like giant wildflowers. Sky diving, for these brave young Sky Cowboys, is more than just a bone-rattling, jaw-dropping, thrill-a-minute pastime. It's a way of life, a way of seeing the world from a whole new perspective, a way of laughing in the face of gravity and saying, "Not today, gravity, not today!" So, if you ever find yourself in the Lone Star State, don't forget to look up. You never know when you might spot the Sky Cowboys, free-falling fearlessly through the great Texas sky.
