IF there is some level of ensuring that everyone on the big-way is qualified and experienced enough to do this right and do it safely...

I'm not kidding about the qualifications part. 25 or 50 RW jumps is NOT enough experience to do 30 ways, in my opinion. And I would rather have fun on smaller skydives than to participate in combat RW. Maybe some practice dives before we do big ways for those with less experience, just to be sure we're not going to jeopardize safety and/or waste a lot of time and money? I hope the jumpers with marginal experience don't take my concerns the wrong way, as I of course know there's only one way to get the experience. But also remember that it really sucks to have 29 other people pissed off because you screwed up the record!



What are you skeered???:)I am with you all the way on that. I will be doing SCR's during the event, if you like I will volunteer to jump with the ones that may not be so sure and we can check them out. Oh wait do I qualify and can I get on?? My biggest big way is 124 or does 105 SCR's count??;)

You just save all your energy for that wonderful food you and Tami cook up for us all. I don't need you getting hurt or something and then I have no dinner!:o


Seriously, I agree with Beezy. This thing if it happens is going to be big and we need to look at who is on this thing and make sure that people know that just because they are on DZ.com doens't mean they are ready for a 30 way.

I hope that everyone thinks about this before they say they want on the jump. The size we are looking at will take 2 planes and that just adds to potential hazards.

Can we track well? I know most of us think we can, most of us really don't track that well. It gets that much more serious when you start getting 30 bodies and canopies around you all at once.

I am not picking on any person on the list. As a lot of you I have never jumpes with so I have no idea of your skills, other then being great people.

Proof is in the picture. Look at me all nice and stable hanging off the back of the chunk there. Seems it is the yahoos up are front causing the problem.

Let's give them a clue Jay. This picture was taken over Thanksgiving and I konw you haven't jumped since then at least

If I'm able to come out, I'm in this. Plenty of big way experience. I'll even chunk the base out, which I'm good at, despite my size. :P

I love this idea...Chris, set up a schedule for these "practice/qualification" dives...There's some people on the list who could benefit.
My reality and yours are quite different.
