VanillaSkyGirl 6 #51 December 29, 2004 Will you guys go back and read my last post, please? Quoting Katiebear, "You guys are killing me... You guys can't make up new rules for the records though. Doesn't Sangiro already have record rules? I thought that everyone from the group just had to be a registered dz.commer prior to the jump. That's what we did at Rantoul for our all female 8-way."

Alright so the rules state you have to be a registered member of dz.com. Nothing is said about posts. Craig is a registered member, so therefore all is good and there is no more debate.I'm so funny I crack my head open! P.M.S. #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #57 December 29, 2004 QuoteQuote Agreed!! I remember a few years ago when me & Kris pulled off the dzcom record attempt after a few jumps. We got tired of all the crap. BULLSHIT! your the biggest complainer here about it. Everyone else is cool with it in a jovial manner. Your last post says it all. Again, leave the drama at home and bring your ass on the next record attempt. You have to walk the walk before you can talk the talk and be able to fly your slot...on your belly. BTW: on the rules, one only has to be registered on DZ.com. No # ofposts are required Check your history. All the previous records have always had posters on them, and it was part of the record criteria before. Not to get pissy, but I don't care if 400 people register on DZ.com and make a 400 way. If they've never posted then don't call it a DZ.com record. I'm sorry, I thought the records were friendly competition amongst the regular dz.com community. And as for Sunny flying on her belly, I've seen her bring it and fly hard on her belly, Lou.

Thats my point, it's supposed to be friendly and the competativeness is purely jovial not like an east coast/west coast rap thing.

But that isn't fair to those that named their left hand Bill! on a side note - I noticed a lot of dz.com tshirts at Rantoul - I would go up to quite a few of them and asked if they posted on there and most of the time it was "well, I use it for email and to PM. I read the forums but I just never post."_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

It may have to be a solo dive with you docking on yourself! The current record is a 6-pt one-way. It would have been more, but I funnelled the exit. A few years ago, Bob Pope started the Bob-ways at WFFC. I can't remember the current record. For some reason, I always thought it was a cool event.

Rosa, The link you posted was in direct response to the "TX Record" where they dirt-dived one formation and then called it a 'record' even though some people went low and never made it back in. The RULE then was born that the record -must- be a completed slot perfect formation in the air. :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #68 December 29, 2004 QuoteThis is getting confusing. ...and less than fun. I can't believe that people are seriously arguing about this. If they don't stop it, I'm going to take all my marbles and go home. Yesterday, we did 10-way speed. There was a team from S. Carolina again. One year they win, one year we win. WHOEVER wins, we tease each other all day. If we have time, we do a 20-way together. We have dinner together in the evening. Today, they stopped by zhills to jump with us. Lots of zhills people go to the Harvest Moon boogie up there. They are awesome people that we have FUN with. Anyone who continues to be snippy about this stuff will be spanked.

op5e 0 #75 December 29, 2004 Hate to keep this thread going, but I truly think if you have to register someone the day before to get the numbers (as per the rules) its kinda sad. I know that it wasnt the case this time. QuoteNot everyone of them feels the need to publicly participate in the forums, but have still read, learned from, laughed at, or otherwise used the resources (articles, email, pms, classifieds, galleries etc...which btw includes the forums) to become better, safer skydivers. If the person doesn't wish to publicly participate in the forum, why should the same person wish to participate in the DZ.com record. Damn I have over 50 posts now (most crap) and still do not consider myself a dz.commer. I just think if you have to get people who are technically a member, but others dont agree then is it worth it. On the other hand if this person hangs out with most dz.com ppl IRL then its kinda blurry. My thought is if most people who jumped thought the person was a dz.commer then more than likely he is part of the community. If you had to think about it for a while, then its probably not the case. Pretty funny all this because of a helmet All I can say congrats, and the picture does look great. Did you get video? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
