CrW is the Dark Side

[rehmwa 2]

Since we've been calling CrW the 'Dark Side' since Star Wars came out and before Freeflying was even thought of as more than "unstable" flying....

I wonder why Freeflyers insist on trying to hijack the term?

Is it insecurity? ego? a need to fit in with the cool, unwashed, barely packed nylon grapplers?

I'd like opinions on the subject from the experts....

A very experienced CRW jumper friend of mine once told me not to "go to the dark side" when he saw me watching someone pack a BASE rig.

I once did a handstand on the roof of a car going down I-94 at 65mph... I thought that was the dark side?? Hmmm?

Heh. Even the freefliers at our DZ admin that we're the dark side. It's all relative. (So to speak.)

I was thinking gang???

I remember turning up to my original DZ one day about 10-15 yrs ago with a crw packed woomera container (pull out reserve) with compulsory canopies hanging out, a home built sugar glider wing suit (before birdman existed), a camera helmet with several videos and stills cameras, etc - I wore all this heading to the emplaning area and I got exactly the "dark side" response I expected.

The above could be crap, thought provoking, useful, or . . But not personal. You decide.

Y'know...

A CRW downplane DOES look a heck a lot like a TIE fighter...

May not have anything to do with it, but it sure is the 'Dark Side'. Looks like lots of fun (someday) -- for now I'm focussing on bigway RW...

I've never really cared for Freeflying to be referred to as the "Dark Side". In my experience it has always been non freeflyers assigning the term to it.

"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."

I think, "The Dark Arts" is ore approriate for freeflying

Fly it like you stole it
