agentsmith413 0 #1 October 7, 2011 for the Eloy holiday boogie. This will be my *ahem* first boogie outside of my home dz. I look forward to having the time of my life. Anyone else plan on going this year?Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, all used up, and loudly proclaiming: Wow, what a ride!

Last time I was there for a holiday boogie I was "impressed" by one of the locals nearly hooking it through my canopy on a sunset bigway. Then again, I have a lot of fun on some of the more obscure loads hooking it for the "ponds." But that was back when swooping was allowed. That was also the last time I partied with Deuce. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remster 24 #8 October 7, 2011 We'll be there on the weekends. yeah, it sucks being a local. And Dave: Yeah, fucking Deuce... PS: Read Burke's analysis of the incidents at Eloy. It's, as far as I know, the best most comprehensive analysis of large numbers of incidents. Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoy chatting with Bryan when I see him. He figures he's witnessed more "incidents" firsthand than just about anyone else. The man's got a lot of good info.

I have and it is well written, but then again I argue that he shouldn't be able to host nationals with out hosting Canopy Piloting as well. All or nothing. What if you and I had a DZ and said "we can host nationals, just not the FS because we don't have the facilities for it;" do you think we would be allowed or laughed out of the room?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

It was combined into all or nothing until swooping proved to be a big event and was included. Now since they break a single event off, I wish they would break them all apart and let DZs that have less that $10,000,000 in aircraft host an event.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

NWFlyer 2 #16 October 7, 2011 Nope. Pretty sure there will be no one there at all. Except me and the Monkey from Dec 24-28. I love the earlier part of the boogie when it's not quite as insanely crowded. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
