rehmwa 2 #76 March 15, 2007 QuoteThis skydiving award is for Skydiver of the Year. It refers to the previous 12 months that's a great point - most of the better counter discussions are really more applicable arguments that would pertain to a "Lifetime Achievement" type of award ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ator 0 #77 March 15, 2007 First I want to say to Loud Tom is "Your Fired!" I have instructed and been on the 10way team with him. It is great that you have found a dz that works at the pace you can handle. Have a great season! Now as an AFFI, Tandem Master, Organizer, part time cook, two time big way sequential record holder and bronze metal winner. I find it extremely rewarding when those I have taught achieve their goals. I wish I was Natasha's original instructors just to be able to say 'I had a small influence in her achievement.' That is what I find this sport is all about. There are many in the sport that I have taught or helped in some way that have past me on many levels. There are also the ones that other instructors have given up on. It is a great feeling to help them just stay in the sport. Now at the start of my 10 season I would love to list many of those names, but it would be well over 100 and I would fear I left someone out. The best rewards are when a "younger" skydiver comes up to you and says something like "you are one of the their top 5 skydivers they know." or when one of your students with 222 jumps is the star at a 80 way camp or the team that hires a player coach to do 300 jumps and HOURS of tunnel (Go TEAM) or the when one of the all girl teams you encouraged to do 4way wins Bronze at USPA Nationals or how about the truck driver others thought should quit the sport is still jumping after three season because you gave them the advice to fix their problem so they could do the sport that both of us fell in love with. These are just a few examples of my REWARDS in the sport so far. These people are why I am doing what I do to help the sport grow and to have self fulfillment in the sport. Not a piece of paper or metal. Now I want also want thank all those who influenced me in the sport, but the list is again long. Help our sport grow again… THINK POSTIVE! Four things I have learned in this sport. Ambition is what gets us started, Attitude gives us direction and Ability is our goal. I am still learning and always will in this sport as well as life. The fourth is NEVER GIVE UP! This has many meanings. Congratulations NATASHA... You earned your achievements! Eric Bickel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote I think the issue the OP is making, it's people like YOU that should actually be up for S-D-O-Y! There is a big difference between 'personal' achievement and overall contribution. Good on YOU, we as a sport need more like ya! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Ator 0 #79 March 15, 2007 Thank you for thinking so, but there are many examples of people in life that are the front people and they have tons of support people who do not get the awards. Natasha is a great choice for S.D.O.T.Y.! The problem in the sport right now is being "seen" If the USPA can show the general public the achievements’ of someone like Natasha's. Then just maybe more will join the sport. ESPN will not cover our US Nationals in full, but will show repeat after repeat of the world series of poker. (I love the game) The military days of the sport are over. We all need to market our sport better, if you love it. My attitude is 'make it happen' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jlmiracle 7 #80 March 15, 2007 Quote4) So maybe a Tunnel award, IMO I'll always be more impressed by the jumper who learned their skills whilst diving thru the sky, hence the name of the award "Skydiver" of the year.
