bigway

Everyone will have a good time no matter what is there i am sure. However, If you were coming from another country to attend the worlds biggest boogies you would want to know your questions as well before you paid that huge amount of money (not directed at you ron). There is no bickering. We are less than a month aways and the organisers of the Worlds biggest boogie can not even tell me if the jump ticket prices will remail at $21 or go up, can not and seemingly refuse not to tell me how many people are registered. I am guessing there may be 100 registered. Do not even have confirmation of a helicopter, this is advertised, should be confirmed. What happened to the advert saying 'VENDORS GALORE'??? I see no vendors. We here in the UK have forked out all this money because there was to be VENDORS GALORE, HELICOPTERS..... There are NO vendors apart from a few (no offence to the ones going). But this is not vendors galore. Confirmation of a heli is not even there. I feel like i have been tricked in to spending a fortune, i cant even demo gear there with manufacturers. Live up to the promises you guys make. It is not fair advertising and not coming through with promises. Some of us are spending our vacation time and years savings on getting there to what you have promised!! I know it will be fantastic nights and any jumps to me are always fun. But i have paid this trip for the vendors, the helicopter, the jet, and all the novelty aircraft. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

AMEN. I know of 7 of us that are very worried we have invested our holidays and more money than anyone from the states to get there. None of my questions have been answered. I want to know the following... How many people have registered. The helicopters that have been advertised, will they be there. I am going on the advertisments and that is why we in the uk have invested so much money. I will pissed if the advertising is wrong. 'Worlds largest boogie', 'helicopters' etc... Time for answers, it is not our problem how much time goes in to this or how much it costs, We are even coming early to lend a hand where it is needed, but answers to the questions there need to be as we would feel tricked in to spending $1300 each on just getting there. That would not be fair. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Just curious with your level of experience.... Did you go down with the plane or did you jump anyway? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

"Taken" .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

At the last count there were approximately 5000 registered skydivers in the UK. You are one. And if your jump numbers are up to date, not a very experienced one. Speak for yourself. My jump numbers are not actually posted. But yes, i do have less than you. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Head to Hibaldstow. Never been there but know it has ggot to be the best. lots of talent there, 15,000 ft jumps. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

where is Vichy?? Is this Sweden? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I vote free vendor fees at the WFFC 2006!!!! Make it free and they will come. Do it now so they have time to get organized!! Free Vendor slots!!!! Free vendor slots!!! Make it free and charge an extra $5 registration as it will get more people there. The cost of a vendor slot seems 100% profitable anyway for the WFFC so who gives a shit, make it free so they come. You can't lose. Tell them to bring their own tent. More people should then come .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

That is awesome..... The original poster of this thread was jumping with me this weekend (freeflying) he said he was going to do WARP. I usually take students up for free(pay my own slot) but i had to say to him that usually i would but at the moment i am so poor cause of my boogie schedule coming up that i would go him halves in my slots for his WARP if he did not want to go to the guy charging full price slots. Would love to always do it for free but not always practical. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Would be awesome having a boogie around it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I appreciate what you are saying. This boogie is more about going to the states and being blown away so i can bring something back to other dz's. I would like to see the vibe in place. I am sure it will be. However, a big part has been lost by not being able to demo gear. Can you tell me if the PIA is held at a dropzone? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Thanks for all the straight answers. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I love surfing and have surfed most of my life..... But it is fucking boring to watch on the telly. How does it get so much coverage?? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Why would you want to take a dump in a perfectly clean toilet? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Is there anybody there going to the WFFC and then on to Summerfest?? We would be looking for a ride of three of us. I need to figure out what we are doing as we need to purchase the last of our tickets this week. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I would like to go to Skyfest. Just the dates do not work with my partner. I would like to go to skyfest, wffc and then summerfest, however money is a diferent story. It is actually PERRIS who is advertising the jet being there over here in the UK. There is alot of people on the forums plugging skyfest and summerfest, though the only people really giving WFFC the thumbs ups seems to be the people who organise it. I like those people so do also listen to them, would just be nice to have others say nice things about it. I would really like to see the Summerfest schedule if anyone knows it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

This is under consideration. I really want to go to the WFFC, just so i know that i have gone. I know i will have a good time but from my years of posting on dropzone.com and seeing the excitment of this event, i now this year am not feeling a great vibe about it. I know nothing of Summerfest and every site i have looked on is not giving any details as to jump prices, aircraft etc... You are right on the aircraft there is to jump at the WFFC. That and the good times in the evenings is a huge appeal. It is just i had high expectations to speak to manufacturers reps as we do not really get that chance in New Zealand or the UK. So that was an even bigger appeal. The worlds largest boogie, it kind of made me think we could demo things and talk to the people responsible after each demo. Without the vendors it is a turn off but then again, the Jet is a turn on as is the other aircrafts. Do not get me wrong, i am looking forward to it, just worried that spending so much, getting there and seeing it not to expectation would be a big downer. There is nobody out there posting and getting the vibe amped up for the WFFC, that is a concern. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

No. We were planning on jumping balloons and bi-planes, jet HALO etc.... And then we were thinking the WFFC was 9 days not 7 days. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

There is a group of us off to the WFFC, We have paid around $1100-$1300US dollars per person for the return flights. 2 of us have not paid yet but have tickets confirmed. The WFFC was always a dream to go to and now without the vendors and the demo gear, the helicopter jumps and the numbers of skydivers it seems very dissapointing. Do not get me wrong, if i lived in America it would be a great party but paying $1300us to go and drink every night and have hangovers, well that could be done in my backyard or in london. However if it does turn out to be awesome that is good. I would like some people to give us advice on what to do for the money we are spending. Should we go to the WFFC, is it worth that sort of money? (bear in mind we need to leave the UK and go somewhere anyway). I went to Eloy xmas boogie and for the money i am spending this time and the expensive jump tickets i was expecting the WFFC to be at least 3 times as good than eloy boogie. If you say we should not go to the WFFC, where else could we go, do lots of freeflying and have the time of our lives? We have our holidays from the 18th july forward..... Is their any exotic boogies? Something important to me on this boogie is the jumpships and the numbers of skydivers at the places on any given day. I would really like some advice on what we should be doing, i am not tight on money just would be really dissapointed on spending this amount on plane tickets just to wait for the evenings to get pissed. I would really like to learn the Birdman suit and maybe even purchase one as well as an Icarus reserve. I would like to do some big way tube and tracking dives. Yes would also like a good night getting pissed and would like to meet a shit load of people. The most important thing is the vibe. please give some advice, as we are all looking at spending no less than $2500US dollars on jumps each and $1300 on ticket but want to know we went to the best place to do it. Thanks. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Legally.... YES. However most CCi's understand your jump numbers. I had it good but now when turning up to other dz's i had to get these signatures. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

If there is no wind up top the tandem master are screaming as the first freefly is getting ready to go out the door. Aint that the same everywhere? Hinton is a great place, run by great people. The dropzones in the UK just seem to be a bit backwards about freeflying and exit order. This should be bought up at the next BPA.... I for one will ask my CCi to have a look at Bills report on exit order. It is concerning but british jumpers just seem to be happy with what they are told to do. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Can you please tell us how many registered jumpers there already are for this boogie? I am hearing people saying there will more than likely be less than 1000 people there over the week. Sorry i seem to have so many concerns but i am getting the feeling we are paying $1300 for a 7 day hangover. Where this could be done in London. Another question i would like answered honestly please is "is it possible the jump tickets will be higher than the price advertised'? Will there be a helicopter? Is there reserve packers there? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Is it cheaper? Also what are the numbers of people like? Thinking of going to both as i am scared WFFC is going to be a 9 day hangover .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Freefly out first then rw. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Dougie is CCi at the time being. As far as i know Dave is at Weston. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
