prepheckt 0 #526 December 20, 2003 Speaking of flocking, I did my track dive eval (witha a borrowed pair of Trackpantz) for BM groundschool today with Ash, apparently, I did well enough that I can do groundschool bright and early tomorrow morning. Eloy is slowly but surely filling up, to those of you who read this, please remember to bring a sweater/jacket, cause it's cold in the mornings and evenings. Can't wait to meet everyone, so see ya when I see ya. And yes LouDiamond, I will remember to pick you up on Sunday."Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mouth 0 #529 December 20, 2003 If it is that cold I'll be doing LOTS of monkey hugging to keep warm. It was almost impossible to dress last year so everyone think layers and more layers. Take one off after each jump then put it all back on for the evening. 5 more...... -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

skymama 37 #544 December 21, 2003 What about having them on New Year's Eve? I think anyone who wishes to enjoy your jello shots should be more than happy to give you a few bucks for the cost and your efforts. It's great that you're making them for us!

SkymonkeyONE 4 #549 December 21, 2003 Since it's very posible that many of you missed this post, I am re-posting it here in this thread. It's in response to some of the mixed opinions some people have about what this boogie "should be." Anyway, here it is again for all to see: Here's my take on the "organization" thing. I am an incredibly social person and I make my own fun. I jump with whomever I want, whenever I want. While this is now being called "the dropzone.com boogie", to me it's just a venue for me to relax and see what I can get into. Yes, I am giving one of the seminars, but I don't really expect many people to attend; they didn't at Rantoul. Personally, I don't expect that the boogie will be any different in the grand scheme than it has been in previous years. While there will be a certain cadre of people bound together under the dropzone.com tent (assuming that's what we will have again, like last year), the majority of people will be busy with their own agendas, registered members of this site or not. If Rantoul was any current indication, very few dropzone.commers will even bother to make their presence known. Odd, but that's what happened there at Rantoul this year, and last year at Eloy. That's unfortunate; there are a lot of fantastic people on this site, many of whom I have met and become very close friends with over the years. Still, I am not about to fault someone for going out and doing their own thing. Last year, we had WAY more than enough capable big-way skydivers on hand to break the record, yet most stayed away because they didn't care to participate in what was surely to become a zoo due to the way the roster was structured. I did those jumps and had a good time, but truthfully had a much better time doing the technical big-way stuff with Philip. In the end, the boogie will be exactly what you expect it to be. It can be a big party (lots of free beer), a jumping frenzy (Trevor and Alex made more than 130 jumps last year), a take-you-by-the-hand organized event, a learning experience (lots of seminars and coaching), or a friendship-buliding experience. Personally, I take bits and pieces of it all and put it together the way I want to. It's exactly like Rantoul in that respect. What I am really looking forward to at this boogie is having all the vendors on-site. People in the know will have sense enough to understand that making friends with those in the industry is incredibly important. Networking is crucial to the serious skydiver and I spend a great deal of my time interacting with my sponsors and other friends in the industry who build our gear. There are no better opportunities, barring visits to the actual factories/stores, for you as a skydiver to really see what's what and to try out gear than at big boogies like this. Do yourself a favor and exploit this opportunity to its fullest. Touch, feel, ask questions about, and jump everything you can. In closing, I would hope that people go into it with an open mind. I hope I get to meet each and every person from this site who shows up, but then again I am an object in motion and skip around a bunch. I certainly don't expect everyone to sit in a circle and sing "cumbaya"; people break down into cliques almost immediately and do their own things. Still hopefully our paths will cross at some point and maybe our circles will expand in the process. Some of my defining moments have come to pass at large boogies. Peace, Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
