PhreeZone 20 #9 December 8, 2001 I'd say, CReW/ Canopy Flight, Freeflying, RW and Instructing. The instructing could be a place for Instructors to discuss different methods of training and hints and tips for FJC's.I want to touch the sky, I want to fly so high ~ Sonique Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica 0 #13 December 8, 2001 I really like the idea of RW and FF forums. Would they replace the S&T forum?Pet me! I'm harmless and cute! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #14 December 8, 2001 no doubt- Zennie, no doubt...Hey Zen -, have you ever met Kirk?, long gray hair... had a collision on his graduation jump and canopy went to pieces? -we signed the scrap piece he snagged from the air under the reserve & he framed it? (..this guy with maybe 20 jumps came straight thru his canopy...)Anyway Grasshopper..., Kirk is a zenmaster dude, he teaches. You should definately meet him. He and his wife are awesome. She raises Great Danes. And he and I were students at the same time, he graduating a week before me. I did his 100th with him, just the two of us, and it was an honor. We are close friends. Meet him if you ever get the chance.Anyway, ...Regarding the forums for different diciplines-- I am skeered and shankin in my boots, it might split skydivers apart. ...Then it would start cliques. ...Then the world would come to an end as we know it.AirAnn"I've had a wonderful time, but this wasn't it."

SkymonkeyONE 4 #20 December 8, 2001 Sangiro,I think it's a fine idea, so long as they are taken as "serious", and the chatter is kept here in the talkback forum. I think if it is done properly, then those forums will be a fantastic repository of information for people interested in getting into those specific disciplines. My recommendations are: canopy swooping (and piloting in general), CRW, VrW, and maybe skysurfing. Once again, I believe so long as people don't flood them with one-liners and fluff, it's a great idea. ChuckMy webpage HERE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #21 December 8, 2001 Pond swoopers/blade runners definitely need their own forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #22 December 8, 2001 Quote Once again, I believe so long as people don't flood them with one-liners and fluff, it's a great idea.I seriously agree here. I really am sick of the 'I am so great headdown' crap. Especially when in reality its a back fly.The main idea being that it be serious for some Q&A stuff. At this point, I DO have a serious question and I would like it answered but I feel like I cant post it here. Too much - ridicule for me personally. I just want a real answer. But, I usually get... Ann? are you on drugs. ...heh?I cruzed wreck dot and thought about posting, then decided to find a serious FF to help me but cant decide who to ask. What about that Lew Dude?So stuffy not fluffy...?

PhreeZone 20 #23 December 8, 2001 LewMonst rocks! I've jumped with her many of times and she is so cool to hang with at the campfire too! Your best bet on Freefly help on here is Ramon, but you probally knew that already. Aviatrr is good help too.For swooping and stuff I would love to see SkyMonkeyONE, aka Chuck be the moderator. I'm not sure if we have any serious CReW dogs floating around,but if we do, they need to step up, I've got questions! And Ann... the reason most people think you are on drugs or something is that when you stream your thoughts together some people get lost in your train of thought. I used think that yuo had a serious primary language to english problem, but once I saw your writing style, I realized what you were doing. It's a different style compaired to most people and because its different, you are going to be questioned about it. We all know that your not on drugs, so don't worry about anyone harrassing you on it I want to touch the sky, I want to fly so high ~ Sonique Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
