hottamaly 1 #1 February 11, 2002 Ok, I've read all the opinions from everyone concerning the friendly competition and I have just a few things for you to consider.1. Let's keep it simple, stupid....as the saying goes. We all want to keep the original foundation of long timers and short timers playing in the air together as well as maintaining the utmost safety.2. As far as "the rules" go "kiss". We here in Calif. like to have some meaning of order, and since I am orginizising the dive, I plan on making it simple enough (I hope) for everyone who is interested in being on it. If an indivudual is uncertain of their abilities, in a larger way than they are used to, it will be up to them to sit back and support the ones on it. No one "has" to go. Believe me, I want it safe and succesful AND MAINLY FUN. which is what it is all about. I don't want anyone to feel under pressure or intimidated.3. I feel all should be members of dz.com (I don't care how long or lurker only or anything) if they are not, they won't even know what's going on. 4. I plan on planning the dive and diving the plan. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but we'll still be meeting, partying, and jumping with some new and old friends. We'll be learning new tricks and hopefully all learn a little something to better our skydiving skills. THAT is what (I think) this is all about. I don't want this too serious, just safe. If someone turns out not ready for this, I will ask them to go practice some more and join us another time or on a smaller way so we can help them.5. H.H. can make the various catagories if he wants, but I think some of the ideas presented sound like fun catagories ie: tried and failed exits, funny landings and such. Present pictures and we can rate them if you want.6. Bottom line, keep it fun,safe,interesting and educational.SKYDIVING GAVE ME A REASON TO LIVE....

chopchop 0 #13 February 12, 2002 Nice job, Linda, of spelling it out. Make a simple dive plan, put the less experienced jumpers in the base, make a few attempts, adjust, do it again until we get it right or run out of daylight... As you said, hopefully we will all learn something and we will definitely have FUN!!!chopchopPD makes canopies all day long, you only have one life, when in doubt, cut away...
