Jim,
You're right! :( Few people do talk on the list and it can be such a wonderful resource, which is why I started it. Come on guys! I know there are some political reasons why some do not chat, I know coaches that are subscribed do not talk because it's "for the kids" and so on -- but really, I feel this is the problem, not the solution. This group is mostly made up of older skippers (college age and even older) and coaches.
The reason why my website isn't that great is that I really don't have very many action pictures and I don't want it cluttered with pictures of myself (I'm not one for self promotion). So again, I will plead for pictures to be sent into me! Videos too! Like Frank, maybe portions of your Japan video, that would be awesome. Just want you guys to know that, the more material I am able to give to potential viewers (with consent), the more I'll be able to do to promote the sport and this list.
Maarten needs to be saluted. He's done everything I've wanted to do all along and more... And Eric Herber as well. Both have contributed a great deal to the Internet jump rope scene and this is where I would assume a lot of people get their information.
One little side note, I've heard people being questioned off the list about things they have asked ON the list and told not to ask questions as they did. PLEASE guys, that's not what our sport is about. If I here any more negative comments off list towards members, I will have problems with you. I want EVERYONE to feel comfortable posting. If we don't feel comfortable as a group, then we should disban and I think that would be unfortunate for everyone here, because we COULD gain so much out of it.
The "Jump Rope" group has been around for over four years, there are 91 members today... we've had healthy debates, normal misunderstandings and great information going to new and old jumpers alike. Not as much as I would have liked to have seen, but it shows potential.
And, I'm sorry for having to write such a sermonic post, but Jim brought up what I've been feeling all along and I'm sure a few others have felt the same way. So, thanks Jim!! I bow to you... and please feel free to ask anything you wish to the list!
Now, if someone could just explain to me how to do a double under frog and I actually get this before I'm 90, I'll die a happy jump roper/rope skipper.
Thanks for hearing me out!
Ginny Sayre
