mdrejhon 8 #176 March 3, 2006 QuoteQuoteShould we have a contest for the worst passport picture? Oh HELL no!!Nontheless, we need ideas on the contests for winning prizes that some of our sponsors will be giving us. Like the gift certificates towards a new rig, etc. It needs to be fair to the newbies and novices too, or we need multiple classes (novice class, expert class) for separate prizes. Maybe an "ugliest rig" contest, as one of the contests? Everyone would get to vote! Ideas welcome! I know Kirsten Johnson will have some things planned. We will all be brainstorming about this a little bit later on, but we're also keeping a list of new ideas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiverbrian 0 #181 March 3, 2006 Quotewe need ideas on the contests How about a raffle? $5/ticket and donate the money to a worthy gay organization or maybe even one of the USPA's funds. We should have a contest, too, but no drag! So cliche! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

booboo 0 #187 March 3, 2006 How about a friendly precision landing competition? We don't have to go all the way with the matress target and all but just a big bullseye and 5 points per cercle. This could be a very good landing practice for newbies and everybody could participate.------------------------------------------------- "Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it." -- Oscar Wilde Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #188 March 4, 2006 QuoteHow about a friendly precision landing competition? We don't have to go all the way with the matress target and all but just a big bullseye and 5 points per cercle. This could be a very good landing practice for newbies and everybody could participate.Certainly a good idea. We will need to keep everyone happy: Freeflyers, accuracy, CRW, RW. Kirsten Johnson can take care of RW jumps (SCR's, 20-way), while someone else takes care of accuracy, etc. Another volunteer just recently offered to cover 4-ways (which could cover the novices and newbies). Volunteers will be needed to organize each sub-event at Rainbow Boogie. I will be having a meeting with Martin this month about this to cover some of this. Ideas and volunteers are welcome -- especially if you have instructing and load-organizing experience. We want to make every Solo, A, B, C, D licensed jumper happy with this first of a kind event. The logistics are complex but remember, Nouvel-Air hosted the Canadian Nationals so the organizing capacity is there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScratchTX 0 #189 March 4, 2006 I like the idea of a mix of thnigs -- some skill-related like accuracy, and some goofy like ugliest/scariest rig (I could win one of those, won't say which) Mostly I am all about the GSCR's. Or, I guess to be PC we should call them the GLBTSCR's. Or maybe we could just do QSCR's? I like that so much better... so inclusive. Anyway, I am ALMOST current again (went out to the dz today to see the new plane but only managed to repack my main after 1 1/2 years, wow that was some SCARY brick-like nylon in there, I didn't even know canopies could hold their S-folds unassisted, hanging in the air, or make that crunchy sound) and should be current soon and then I will save myself for the first QSCR load... So if Kirsten is organizing them, I can bribe her by promising to finally bring her a copy of the video from the old Tri-Angels meeting ... :-) ( I didn't forget, just procrastinated beyond the point of no return) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4WayXena 0 #190 March 4, 2006 How about an old fashioned "Hit and Chug" contest on the last load of every day? We don't have to do drag but we can certainly do a lingerie jump... Of course in the evenings there's always the Booze Luge - not necessarily a contest but a cool way to take a shot. The ugliest rig contest was already run by the guy who hijacked John Rich's avatar which features a brown, orange, red and white Racer with a ripcord (no shit) deplyoment system. I still love you Mr. Rich even if your gear makes me cringe I'm sure Mark and I can come up with something. After all, aren't we all here for the entertainment?

mdrejhon 8 #199 March 6, 2006 Hi, Martin and I have finished with most of the French-language translation of the RainbowSkydive.com website. However, it is not public yet. This is mainly for Quebec, where the dropzone is located. (Don't worry, a lot of Montreal is bilingual, and a lot of the dropzone staff too!) If you are someone who can read French (Canadian). let me know do a little proofreading for comments, it would be very much appreciated. Send me a PM for the web address!
