diablopilot 2 #153 December 18, 2003 Sound's like you're the one getting worked up here. Like I said, I have the choice. I also have the freedom to express my view that the DZ.com boogie, may not be my cup of tea, and I am sorry to say I may not go to an event I have attended for 3 years straigt, because of it. Time will tell. Uterior Motive? I think you've seen one to many movies. QuoteI for one don't want to listen to you snivel about the way the boogie is being run on here or in Eloy I don't really care if you want to hear it or not (greenie status or not). I've broken no forum rules, so I will continue to speak(type) as I see fit. I don't really want to hear what you have to say about the matter either. You may or may not have missed the point that this is not about butt straps, ballon jumps, or any other one thing. They are just symptoms of a larger problem. I enjoy the hell out of Eloy every time I'm there. People like Pat, Bryan, Omar, Tim, Jason, Margie, Steve, ect. make it such a welcome place for a skydiver to be. This event has me concerned about that continued fun. Settle down. You tend to have a steamroller aproach to your interactions with people. Differing oppinions are acceptable in the real world, same goes here.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

LouDiamond 1 #154 December 18, 2003 QuoteSound's like you're the one getting worked up here. On the contrary. You're making me laugh with your rants. QuoteUterior Motive? I think you've seen one to many movies.......They are just symptoms of a larger problem Well you obviously have something you feel is wrong which is why you used the balloon jumps to raise an issue. Don't beat around the bush, if you have a problem be a man and spit it out. QuoteSettle down. You tend to have a steamroller aproach to your interactions with people I say things that other people only think to themselves sometimes when dealing with people. The way I type on here is the same way I'd say it to your face in person. I think people appreciate the truth be it hard to swallow or not. I don't believe in PC bullshit, I will tell you what I think good or bad. If you have an issue with it you know what you'll get? OVER IT! QuoteI am sorry to say I may not go to an event I have attended for 3 years straigt, Hey, would love to see you there and jump with you but it's no skin off my nose if you don't show. I'll drink your share of beer for you if you decide to stay home."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why everyone is blowing snot bubbles over the butt band, it was a recommendation, I didn't see anything that said it was mandatory. Last time I checked, it wasn't hard to tie a piece of bungee cord to ones leg straps if you have the tabs. Sometimes some of you people amaze me. You have the opportunity to jump with 2 of the worlds greatest FFers and you're bitching about a piece of elastic/bungee on your leg straps? Come on people. Lets not make a mountain out of a mole hill. Once you get to Eloy you'll realize how utterly stupid this whole up roar is and wonder why you even bothered complaining. Relax, take deep breaths and you'll all be in Eloy shortly. Just my 2 cents here (from someone that isn't going to the boogie and could care less about who is doing what) - if they make if feel like a privledge to jump with them, then it loses it's appeal. In the past year I have seen the GK's ask people if they can jump with them, I had Rook ask if he could jump with me....and then gave me free coaching afterwards.

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.
