VectorBoy 0 #7 June 5, 2009 QuoteSeriously, in the nicest possible way, is it possible for you guys to do something without needing class it as a record / record attempt? Likewise, why does this offend? Even in the slightest? Its more than typical for skydivers to see what they can pull together regionally by state, nation or the world , be it RW or CRW. Why not wingsuit? Its not even the bulk topic in the post. So why the rub? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeemax 0 #9 June 5, 2009 Who said it offended me? I just asked why everything needed the tag 'record'? Why not just say, 'we're hoping to build a 16 way'?Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #10 June 5, 2009 Quote I just asked why everything needed the tag 'record'? Why not just say, 'we're hoping to build a 16 way'? Why? Why? Dunno. Why did both Germany and Australia recently wish to build CRW records of their own when the world record is 100? Why does someone or some group want to build a new hampshire state ( or particular dropezone) RW record when the world record is 400. Why does anybody want a record for jumpers strictly over the age of 40,50,60? Obviously the lable record appeals to someone. I can think of one reason a group might hold a state record. To increase participation at the next boogie in the next state for that record by the usual suspects. Why do you care? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VectorBoy 0 #12 June 5, 2009 Because we as skydivers are surrounded by some of our more competitive brothers and sisters who like to compete and have records as goals. Easy enough not to participate if we don't want but impossible to avoid the notifications and promotions of these events. Some people put in a lot of time into creating dive pools, as an example FLB's graphics for the wingsuit artistic comp. Others spend a lot of time and money to attend these events, as an example the 71 way. You were a part of both. As skydivers with thousands of jumps, lets face it, we have been bombarded with this kind of stuff in every discipline. Its everywhere. So why does an obscure mention of a wingsuit state attempt merrit a post of that nature? Is it the record part or the wingsuit part or the fact that the two words are combined? I'm just curious that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #13 June 5, 2009 Quote I'm just curious that way.[Sly] And off walked Vectorboy with my pony...I think what Macca is trying to say, is that all the records etc can tend to create this enviroment where everything needs to always be bigger and better and more than the previous thing. And thereby maybe actually accomplishing the opposite of what everyone is trying to do...while leaving the record or first statement out, might result in the same thing, only a less pretentious title (not linked to this post btw)....JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

And thereby maybe actually accomplishing the opposite of what everyone is trying to do(not linked to this post btw).... I figured it was something along these lines. While part of me wants to tell'em to man up and get over this, the sensitive pony lovin side of me will now refer to the upcoming Elsinore "thing" as a casual like minded "gathering" that might be fun. I won't use the R word.As a group we could also refrain from trying to make future events more interesting or complicated or dare we say more challenging. keep things the same just with more beer and ponies.

Baxter99 0 #17 June 10, 2009 Finally recovering from the awesome time I had at this boogie! Fun, friendly, relaxed atmosphere, great food, lots of attention to detail. Big thanks to Scott and Chris GrAy for all the great jumps, well worth the drive down from Michigan. Put this boogie on your "must go" list for next year, you won't be disappointed.
