elightle 8 #26 May 23, 2005 ... yea, what you said, Foxy Rox. It's frustrating being an experienced jumper who can't afford the big-way camps but that's the price you have to pay to get on an organizer's list. Blues, Ed Lightle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #27 May 24, 2005 That is right Pam. Quality all the way around is needed. How pissed will people get if you just take anyone that has the "skills" to do a 100 way? How do they know they have the skills if they haven't done one? The only safe way is to get into the camps and show your skill on the smaller 40 to 50 ways. Of course you need to be consistent at 10 to 20 ways before you can get to the 40 to 50 ways and into the camps. One sure thing I know is you better learn to track. I have helped at one of Kate and Tony's camps before and on the last day (the day they do formation loads generally) I had to take a group of 8 or 9 out for long tracking jumps (16K) because they didn't have the skills they thought they did. Nothing worse then turning to track from a big way and seeing people go into these steep dives that they call tracks. The other thing is the money issue. It hurts to see people go low and think "Damn there goes $1980.00 dollars of the other 99 peoples money!" At least if they go to camps they can learn what they need to work on and really learn the skills they need.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It hurts to see people go low and think "Damn there goes $1980.00 dollars of the other 99 peoples money!" And your own $20 too! Of course, you have to remember, even on invitationals, success is never a guarantee. People can be quite suprised to learn that there are air skills and attitude involved in successful events. Being able to handle failure, avoid blame, own up to your own mistakes, and buy-in 100% on the team mentality are all factors for being a good big-way participant. (True on 4-way, too, right?) There are always untested folks out there who deserve the shot even on an invitational, but someone still has to know the "goods" on them, and it usually has to be presented to the organizer to make the call. There is more to it than "build it and they will come". Val, I hope you (or someone) can get something put together for the Mid-west. Can I be invited? I'll provide a resume... ________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
