Case of beer says it will. You all are witnesses. Augie Doggie... I mean, AggieDave and I have a case of beer riding on whether or not the dropzone.com 8-way record set at Spaceland will get broken this weekend. The brave, heroic, snow-lovin' skydivers at the Cross Keys FreezeFest will be gunning for the record.I guess we'll both have to buy beer this weekend. Him for the bet, and me for "First dropzone.com bigway record held". (I hope!)Okay, FreezeFest record breakers, let me remind you all again:We'll meet Saturday at 11:00am, outside the Long Delay Cafe.We will CRUSH the Spaceland record.

jfields 0 #3 February 1, 2002 Remster,Some of us are going to warm up with small-ways before 11:00. Besides, we don't anticipate it taking too long to break their record. Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #5 February 1, 2002 Wingnut,You just might break it next weekend. But at least we'll have the opportunity to put those Spaceland folks in their place first. How many people do you have lined up for your attempt?Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyDekker 1,121 #10 February 1, 2002 I think that any DZ.com record is worthy of beer. Hence, any group setting a record should have to supply all registered users with a case of beer.

AggieDave 6 #12 February 1, 2002 No, not quiet, I had to go to class, some people *have* lives you know...Well, seeing how the shipping on a case of beer would be equivlent to a couple year's worth of ramen, I'd probably have to just mail a check or vic-versa depending.

jfields 0 #13 February 3, 2002 Well, that sucked!Because of the winds, jumping was limited to people with C licenses. That ruled out any chance of jumping for most of the dropzone.com people there, including me.When the winds finally calmed down a little, the Otter blew a tire on landing. We would have flown in the Caravan, but the Otter was blocking the runway! Damnit. Bad jumping karma yesterday. So I owe AggieDave a case of beer. I'll live. It was fun getting to talk to some people that I'd only met online. We'll have to try again another time.Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #15 February 3, 2002 Well, I can't give you most of the details.During the day, when I was grounded by wind, I spent a fair while talking to Dan Korn, aka PTiger. That was fun. A few other folks stopped by to chat briefly. It was pretty hectic, because there was also a plan to make a Skydivers & Mentors big-way record. Yes, an "S&M Big Way". Wahoo! I think Stacy will be posting the drunken pictures from the evening. I wasn't there. I was conserving "away days" since the weather forecast had deteriorated for Sunday. It is a definite "married to whuffo" thing, so not everyone will understand. Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zennie 0 #18 February 3, 2002 QuoteSavor that for a month or so longer.... cuz after the first weekend in March the record will be where it belongs - Southern California!!Well, since I proved to Mikey & Paula that I can still (sort of) fly on my belly, I think we need to up the ante. Hey Paula, think you and/or Mike might be able to help organize some record attempts next weekend? I think we should get at least 10. This single-digit stuff is for the birds.And FYI, I've got something in the works for a freefly big-way attempt out at S-land as well.

AggieDave 6 #20 February 3, 2002 Justin,I'd say since everything was due to external events, lets extend the bet. Until you get a chance to actually try it, that way you can actually prove that you and your group can't do anything but funnel exits and botch formation.

I'll take you up on that extension. You can imagine how frustrating it was to see jumpers flying loads, but being unable to join them. Of course, a lot of people with hundreds of jumps were landing off and biffing their landings, so that was both somewhat redeeming and entertaining.
