So many of you lack luster criticizers keep going around and saying the same old shit over and over. And then another one comes around and says, "That's cause it's true... dur, dur, dur...." Followed by name calling, "You're such a 'SkyGod', with your 'mad skills', lose the ego and try to learn something. All because you don't agree with that person, when 9 times out of 10 they probably: do want to learn, don't claim to have 'mad skillz', and don't have an ego as big as yours, but you accuse them of it to try and discredit them. and BTW, I never once said that FF was "cooler".... I said I prefer it to RW, and that it is more difficult than RW. I will give you another example since you couldn't comprehend the bicycle/unicycle one. -Simply getting even just 2 people to get a solid dock with the same FF/RW jump numbers is MUCH more difficult in FF, to not understand that is just fucking stupid.. You don't even know what you don't know. Technical FF is more difficult than technical RW... I have yet to see anyone give a reasonable explanation/example of why it's not.

mirage62 0 #104 May 18, 2010 *** It's pretty clear that wingsuiting is the most difficult discipline, since the USPA *** Actually world record big ways are the hardest. Of all the jumpers in the world only 400 are good enough to make the record.

dnb 0 #111 May 19, 2010 Quote>And you think freeflying is not a challenge? >Seriously, every fresh off AFF status newbie can go on a 4way RW dive . . . Heck, anyone with one jump can stick a camera on their head, get a baggy jumpsuit, get unstable and flop around. Wow.... this thread is awesome! I had no idea I've actually been a freeflyer! - (at least without the camera part) since AFF. Now I can be cool like everyone else! Or perhaps I'll just have fun with everyone else that jumps out of planes too......drew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #117 May 20, 2010 QuoteWrong, there were 400 on it but way more than 400 were good enough. SparkyThat's correct. Many better skydivers could not make the event because they couldn't afford it, or wasn't at enough big ways with the same organizers, to be invited to the 400. That said, the organizers did their damndest best to choose the best skydivers that they were able to choose. It's a mind bogglingly difficult job to determine which applicants get the cut. Also.... I probably rank highly enough now to be in the next RW big way world record, but not highly enough to be on an over-subscribed 200-way yet. (i.e. probably more than 400 applicants applying for a 200way, I'll have a harder time competing) So I might (if I continue to maintain excellent big way currency) easily be accepted into the World Team now, while not easily accepted into a 200-way sequential. Being in the same big way event as key organizers help a lot too in up-ranking me a little. I've been to nine Perris big way events (50ways, 100ways, and Men's World Record)! And it seems I was the low timer at Kaledioscope 2009 sequenjtial 100-ways -- I don't think anyone had less jumps than I, at that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
