pr0ject42 0 #2 April 27, 2006 Well I don't know how many hits you are going to get for VRW here, but I think that is SICK! I saw some guys training in the Eloy tunnel last weekend. Looks like they were doing random drills. Pretty freaking sweet if you ask me.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #4 April 28, 2006 Quotethis stuff is the f u t u r e Not really, it's just that the FF crowd finally got over the self serving "we don't plan stuff attitude" and is now going to really enjoy huge increases in skill and precision and speed that 4 way RW brought to the sport. They've seriously stopped ridiculing/stifling the talented ones that want to learn in this way via competition. It was killing the progression of the discipline. Not any more. I think it's a great thing for the sport. I can't wait to see some of the results that come from this. Shows that the discipline doesn't matter in how you approach skydiving nearly so much as your attitude and goals. Frankly, we'd likely get more conversation here if the forums were organized by Competitors and "Fun Jumpers" rather than RW and FF. But then the "Fun Jumpers" forum would just be a bunch of self congratulatory mockery of the Comp forum with no other substance. I'm thrilled to see a VRW update in the RW forum. It fits. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After all, what we are doing is Relative Work. I wanted to make sure that the traditional RW world knows that the majority of the freefly community has been itching for more structure and more "black and white" judging. As the US Artistic Events team manager for '04 and '06, the biggest complaint I got was judging and how things would change from one jump to the next. VRW makes is simple. Were all of the grips on video, yes/no, next point. And yes, we are also NOT trying to re-invent the wheel, lots of RW coaches should be VERY excited about this as your potential customer base has just been drastically increased. Learn the VRW dive pool and you can get a LOT more business....... Just my $0.02....___________________________ www.brianbuckland.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
