How do you pick which big ways you attend?

[mirage62 0]

With the number of big ways coming up most people, unless they don’t have to work are going to have to pick and chose the events they want to go to. It got me thinking of what are the deciding factors to which event people select to spend there hard earned time off and dollars at.

In the past, for me, it was getting in front of the right people to try earn a slot for WT 06. Now it’s more about vibs, location, quality of jumps, and timing. (I’ve missed enough school plays for big ways).

So what’s the most important reason you select a big way event?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

So would you jump a single formation from a full C130?

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

Me too, and in addition I don't go to the ones that don't let me.

I seem to be on the POPS, Guy's, and Kate&Tony's invite lists, but not on Roger's, BJ's or anything at Eloy. Unfortunately the midwest seems to have given up on bigways so I always have to travel.

Nah, revert back to "not liking crowds".

I did a 110 way years ago. Didn't like it. The money and time I felt was better spent doing 4way. I just don't like spending 1/3 of the jump trying to get everyone together, and 1/3 of the jump trying to get away...Save time, launch it intact

I am pretty impressed with some of the skills that big ways take, they are just not skills I want.

Come one Doc....Is that really news?

I would like to point out, that not liking crowds is different than not being social. I just don't think your true self shows in large groups.
