I think skydiving has evolved and the convention is a victim of it. From an economic stand point the convention with high vendor fees, $70.00 non-prorated registration fees and $22.00 jumps are no longer a bargain. In contrast for example, the holiday boogie is free for vendors, $30.00 registration fees and $16.00 jumps. There is also the fact that it is losing its luster to attract people. The standard turbines are more common at DZ’s across the nation. Ballons and helicopter are also becoming more common at other boogies. And the bottom line is people miss Rod and a jet. Boogies, boogies, boogies! We have arrived at the point where there is a boogie almost every weekend somewhere. And face it, people like variety. Now we have the opportunity to go different places and not only see our friends but meet new ones. This also allows us to seek out new places and adventures while at the new boogies. The convention would be better served to only have it every two to three years instead of every year. That way I think more people would be attracted to it.
