Beerlight 0 #57 February 13, 2009 Quote Quote Quote I hate politics and the clics, but how do I get into the "mainstream" to make sure I don't end up on the infamous "do not invite" list? Buy the organizers drinks. Lots and lots of drinks. Don't insist on talking to them (or being anywhere near them for that matter) while they are drinking, just be sure that they know who's buying. Be generous with your stash. The candyman is always welcome at a big way. Offer to take an organizer to Hawaii (or other warm and sunny place) for a well deserved vacation. This one will probably work best on that well known organizer who lives in Belgium, and needs to be done soon, before the sun comes out in Europe. Thanks for the reply, but your not serious are you? Unless I have been grossly misinformed the organizers dont like to drink or smoke the g. during jumping hours. I'll be sure to offer some to them during the TSR and see if it helps.

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #58 February 13, 2009 It's very clear that you are far better than those so-called "organizers". You can probably drive this point home to them by telling about all their mistakes. If you do it loudly and in front of the whole group, then the rest of the jumpers will realize how much you know and may well start to follow you instead. I have used this technique myself numerous times at numerous jobs. If you show those in charge how much better you are than they are, well, things will definitely change."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

mdrejhon 8 #60 February 14, 2009 Time and money is often a problem with me; I went to dropzones only once a month on average during 2008 (but for big bursts of jumping), yet I managed to rack up an impressive 150 jumps, a tremendous improvement in my jumping rate. Perris Bigway Camp May 2008 -- 20 jumps incl funjumps (4 days; 2 vacation days off work) 2 Skydive Gananoque 20way Bigway Weekends - about 25 jumps total (3-day weekends, no vacation days off) Perris Bigway & 100way Sept 2008 -- 50 jumps incl funjumps (12-days; 8 vacation days off work) Texas Winter Bigway Camp Nov 2008 -- 20 jumps incl funjumps (5-days; 3 vacation days off work) Tunnel time (several hours worth) kept me busy during the winter; I just did 2 hours of 4-ways at Skyventure during December. So I jumped only once a month on average (I think I only about 10 dropzone visits in 2008) but VERY intense bursts of jumping, including that one 50-jump skydiving vacation. It's possible to become a bigway jumper through this surge-jumping manner; but refresher RW stuff is recommended (skytime and/or tunneltime) on the weekends prior to bigway camps. Tunnels and good coaching are really helping me get forward, but I need to step it up even further if I want to become a World Team Member someday. I suggest at least attending the 4-day Perris camps, you only need 2 vacation days off. I am also a consultant (on my own payroll), so I don't get paid vacation days, so it's doubly challenging financially sometimes. Now I'm doing 100-ways, and attending the May 2009 Perris 100-way camp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #61 February 14, 2009 Troll or not... Tip for ya... One bigway newbie to another bigway newbie.... 1. The way to become a good bigway jumper is to persistently attend bigway camps until you become really good. I've been cut from bigways before 2008 (most particularly Guy Wright events, plus Deaf World Record), and then finally clicked into bigway skills during the year 2008. Was still happy to be at the events I was cut from -- I had my first night jump at Deaf World Record 2005. 2. Bigway camps have their own rules and you really simply have to adapt to them. And by the way, I've adapted by now having two jumpsuits (a fastfaller and a slowfaller) as well as a weightbelt -- so I don't have to inconvenience everyone by being low, as well as an openness to learning techniques I am not accustomed to. 3. Allow yourself to be humbled -- this scores you a lot of points. There are many amazingly good trackers at the dropzone, many of which are better than everyone at other dropzones. One can make mistakes like crossing tracking paths or landing in the wrong direction (which will give you a BIGGER scolding than a low pull at a bigway event). It is VERY easy to be a good tracker at the end of a freefly jump (and barrel rolls are popular in these small 3-way or 4-way freefly jumps) because of the extra vertical airspeed that can be converted into a really good track, but you don't get the same effect during bigway RW. Once you start tracking with some of the experts at bigways, you'll be well below them -- many new big way jumpers are shocked that they are not as good as good tracker as they think they were.

The way to become a good bigway jumper is to... ...start your own bigway team.Crazy Eddie's Wild Wild 100-Way Camp. There has been some changes to the rules for the 2009 camp: 1. If you can do a good momentum dock without missing the formation at least 50% of the time, you're in. This is stricter than last year's 25% requirement. 2. We were able to only get Three Twin Otters again. Additional jumpers will be strapped to the top of the plane. Do not forget to lean forward during takeoff to prevent stalling the plane like last year. 3. At breakoff time, the organizer in the base will take a gun out of his jumpsuit -- it's everyone for themselves when he starts shooting in the air. We will try to remember to use blanks instead of live ammunition this time, after last year's incident. We thank you for your interest in Crazy Eddie's Big Way Camp.

See how that, uh, flies. Thank you - but getting 100 people to show up and jump is not feasible at a Cessna dropzone. I have a hard enough time getting 3 others to show up for four-way. But if I get good enough to become a big-way organizer I would change a few things about how they are currently done. Its easy to say "if you dont like it here go home", but I was trying to be constructive and improve the situation. Nipple Boy A-19820"Safety First! Fun Forever!"
