debonair 0 #1 August 1, 2003 So, do people still go for this award? It's the Women's Star Crest Recipient. You have to dock 8th or later on an all-female base.

AggieDave 6 #2 August 1, 2003 8th or later? Don't you mean WSCS for that? I know what it is, I love the SCR tradition (its a big deal in Texas, but apparently most of the rest of the country could really give a shit anymore...sad). You know what I want to get?

nightjumps 1 #3 August 1, 2003 That's called the, SCSA and there have been 336 Recipients The Star Crest Skydiver Award ( hoop dive ) must freefly the exit (no grips) and the award is achieved by eight (8) or more skydivers passing through a hoop held by two others and forming an 8-way or larger formation on the other side of the hoop. A minimum of ten (10) skydivers are required to earn this award and the 2 hoop holders are included. And, if you wanna get friskie... Only 15 recipients have been awarded the Universal Skydiver Award (USA). You can find this info on www.scr-awards.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #4 August 1, 2003 QuoteOnly 15 recipients have been awarded the Universal Skydiver Award (USA). Yup. I've read up on it and have been thinking about it...I think it would take some practice, but it could be pulled off by some jumpers at my DZ and myself...atleast I hope so, since it'd be cool to have.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

nightjumps 1 #5 August 1, 2003 Well, having jumped with Mark, he's a good one to have on the load. If I were closer to you guys - you could count me in. Maybe you should try it during your AOTW boogie? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #6 August 1, 2003 Yeah, the AOTMB is exactly what I was thinking. Not only that, but we're talking about doing some NSCRs out of the CASA. THAT would kick ass!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightjumps 1 #7 August 1, 2003 Damnit. I don't have the NSCR. Now I gots to find some cash to come down there in September, huh? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,120 #8 August 1, 2003 Never went for the number. Did a number of jumps trying for a women's NSCSA (hey, if you're gonna aim, aim high), but we quit after a too-low breakoff. But my memory was that if the base was all women, the women in the 8-way got the WSCR too -- don't they?

AggieDave 6 #9 August 1, 2003 Yup! These "special" jumps are exactly what I want to try to get organized at the AOT Boogie. Oh...a certain SCR#3 may be there to help. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #10 August 1, 2003 I checked the site and it does not even list a Womens SCR. SCR Awards In Lost Prairie we went for a Montana Womens record of 35. The current record still stands at 33... since we had one woman out. I have not seen too much interest in any SCR Awards here in the NW.

nightjumps 1 #12 August 1, 2003 Dave, These medallions are a lot nicer than the picture gives them credit. # 3 gave me one for doing the website a couple of years ago. I got one to raffle off at Skyfest. They're only $50.00 and 10 folks of $5.00 pays for it and everything else is yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #14 August 1, 2003 Maybe we should work on some of those at the Holiday Boogie.. There are usually too few women around at most DZ ... at least up here it seems that way... to go for 8 way all womens jumps... so many are now involved in freeflying and dont want to try being into larger formations...on their bellies.... and they just dont have the requisite skills. There were too many women at Lost Prairie who just did not feel comfortable enough with their belly skills to join in the fun. I bet there are enough of us to do some womens hybrids down there at the Holiday Boogie too. Amazon D-4888 SCR 5993 POPS 9037 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I don't know if guys can even get the WSCS, but then we're the guests on the ladies' dive, no ? I was kind of wonderin' what's happened to the Star Crest too, it used to be real big everywhere, now nobody even mentions it. -SCR8018, SCS-4497 Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !
