Hey, Zen...agreed rules are in this thread - http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1373378#1373378.
For those who are interested in the original rules, check here from 2002: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=81492;search_string=dz.com%20record%20rules;#81492
Let's stop re-inventing the rules of the dz.com record every time we get together to have fun.
One must have registered before the boogie -and- posted.
Sorry guys in Eloy....no soup for you this time around.

Bill, I'm not sure that there will be many takers for your "left-handed people named Bill" record. It may have to be a solo dive with you docking on yourself!
The current record is a 6-pt one-way.


A few years ago, Bob Pope started the Bob-ways at WFFC. I can't remember the current record. For some reason, I always thought it was a cool event.

I looked this up a while ago, and I thought that THESE WERE THE REAL DZ.COM BIG-WAY RULES as posted by Skybytch herself.
This is getting confusing.

Rosa,
The link you posted was in direct response to the "TX Record" where they dirt-dived one formation and then called it a 'record' even though some people went low and never made it back in.
The RULE then was born that the record -must- be a completed slot perfect formation in the air. :^)

...and less than fun. I can't believe that people are seriously arguing about this. If they don't stop it, I'm going to take all my marbles and go home.

Yesterday, we did 10-way speed. There was a team from S. Carolina again. One year they win, one year we win.
WHOEVER wins, we tease each other all day. If we have time, we do a 20-way together. We have dinner together in the evening. Today, they stopped by zhills to jump with us. Lots of zhills people go to the Harvest Moon boogie up there. They are awesome people that we have FUN with.

Anyone who continues to be snippy about this stuff will be spanked.

I was just logging off. This is ridiculous.

You will continue to be spanked regardless.

If we -were- to go by only the rules you linked to, the record wouid -still- be null and void because Rule #5 was not adhered to.
"5) A list of all jumpers on the record dive to be posted in the forums within 24 hours of the completion of the dive."
No list has of yet surfaced. And it's WAY outside of the time period now.

Seriously, I have to go, Bill.


One more little tid-bit. :^)

Please read the WHOLE thread. Lisa took that back. I read the thread, which is why I am posting it.

"Re: posting after the record. Time frame is of course open - I threw out 24 hours cuz after all, we all want to know about this kind of stuff as soon as possible! I don't think the LO or the person who spearheaded the attempts needs to be the one to post it. I'd think that any person on the dive, or even someone who is not on the dive but is on site that day, could be the one to post the record."

quade suggested the time frame of "Tuesday night by 11:59pm the list of dz.com member names be posted".

Not everyone of them feels the need to publicly participate in the forums, but have still read, learned from, laughed at, or otherwise used the resources (articles, email, pms, classifieds, galleries etc...which btw includes the forums) to become better, safer skydivers.
If the person doesn't wish to publicly participate in the forum, why should the same person wish to participate in the DZ.com record. Damn I have over 50 posts now (most crap) and still do not consider myself a dz.commer.
I just think if you have to get people who are technically a member, but others dont agree then is it worth it. On the other hand if this person hangs out with most dz.com ppl IRL then its kinda blurry. My thought is if most people who jumped thought the person was a dz.commer then more than likely he is part of the community. If you had to think about it for a while, then its probably not the case.
Pretty funny all this because of a helmet

All I can say congrats, and the picture does look great. Did you get video?
But that isn't fair to those that named their left hand Bill!
on a side note - I noticed a lot of dz.com tshirts at Rantoul - I would go up to quite a few of them and asked if they posted on there and most of the time it was "well, I use it for email and to PM. I read the forums but I just never post."
you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
I WILL fly again.....
