Scott,
I think it is just for some fun and hang out time..most dont have a kit of older birds going...I will talk for me...I could not even put up an old birds kit right now...I am down to 15.....So I think just to keep the fun going.....Big Willy wants an 09 fly....I am cool with it....I get to see the potential in the other kits and rank them against how mine are coming along....but I think it is mostly because nobody could put a full kit of old birds together.

Scott.. NCRC used to do a young birds fly.Birds from all members that wanted to fly, were trained by one person from say April to say November.Each member could enter up to two birds. After the fly on a set date the birds were auction off 50-50 club and owner. The club used to have a kit pen for this and was sent to the persons house that volunteered to host the young bird fly for that year.JDA

I really hadnt thought of it as handicapping any body Scott but more as a fun day to get together. This has been a voluntary fun fly and rather than feel handicapped. Dont fly. I would much rather have you fly. I enjoy the BS-ing that goes on at the flies and I feel that you could give some valuable advise to some of the guys about training and the pros and cons of how their young teams fly.

I have to agree with you Scott. That was not the option put in front of me however and I was more than happy to fly whatever I had. This is not a club fly but rather a fly put on by a club member for fun and I commend him for trying to put this together. Should be a fun day.

The thing is here to have a young bird fly which means only birds banded 2009 can fly in this fly. It gives the new guys a chance to fly in comp and not get 10 points while others will get 175 points. It makes the flying for first time flyers more fun and competitive with all young birds.
I agree Scott mature solid performers are better to watch but this is focusing on just young birds. They have had young bird flies in England and in the old days also. I read where Pensom always would win in old bird flys but did not always win in the young bird flies.
The best three kits here will fly against the best three in the Bay area as I understood.
I know that a young bird team has 10 birds drop and only five or four actually roll and the rest just tail ride or go down with the group. They have hardly any good quality but they have action and the action is what is going to win in this paticular fly. The scores would be very low if the judge is really focusing on good birds but as you see most will call a break even if 7 do something up there.
Again the point is to get the new guys with out holdover birds to fly and see that they have fun on a fly and may incourage some to fly in the fall fly. Most dont want to just jump in a big fly and pay $50 to have a judge tell them they have young birds but keep up the good work.
I may not be able to make the fly and since Willy needs to know now I have to bail out because of some serious problems I have but I will be there for the fall fly and if I can make the trip around to see birds I will definately go if I can? Bill C

So Bill, should we just call this the first annual socialist Obama Fly ? couldn't we just force them to quit by taxing the hell out of them instead ? ( It gives the new guys a chance to fly in comp and not get 10 points while others will get 175 points. It makes the flying for first time flyers more fun and competitive with all young birds)
Your kidding, right ? shouldn't we all hold hands or something also ?

First off.....
Scott...the 09 fly is just for shits and giggles and to be honest...NOBODY has birds..I have 14 in my A-team...and that is because the 4 I donated to the auction dropped me...and I culled one for being a retard.....We just want to fly pigeons.....and there is a benefit to watching young birds fly....You get to see how the different lofts are coming along with there young birds.....again..just a fun fly...no difference then haning out with the fella's....and nobody really had alot of birds left...I think Bill, Ken and Dwight are the only ones that could field a full team.

Big Willy,
First off...you back out...you have already lost...second..Scott is NOT a racist....a political joke is not a racist comment...trust me...Scott took plenty of jokes when Bush was in..LOL!!....it was a political joke.....nothing more and nothing less... Being a Socialist is not a racist comment....You know I am a straight shooter and I will be the first to back up a brotha when a racist comment is thrown out...and being American Indian myself and hearing the racist issues my grandfather had to put up with...makes me sick to my stomach...anyway....I really dont feel it was an attack on Obama because he is Black....History was made.....Rob and Mookie were over the other day and Rob said that when he was a kid..his own teacher said he would never grow up to see a Black President...and look at how far we have all come...so dont take a step back when the black man has taken two steps forward...again...you know me Willy and you know I would jump Scotts shit or anybody elese shit over a racist comment....
Second...you better not back out of this fly...dont let one persons comments ruin the whole bunch...everyone else is on board.....YOu have done a great job....so KEEP IT UP>...trust me....when you run something you have to have some tough skin....being the 9B director...every year you hear someobody bitch about something....dont stress....let put the birds up!!

I support all functions and go to all our flies to support the guys and also learn . With thaat being said I myself am starting to think I made a bad choice in becomeing a member .

Willy, you don't need Scott's approval to get this off the ground. Make it happen, like Paul said. Don't let one person ruin it. A political joke can be a racist comment. It depends when you say it, who you say it to and how you say it. Scott ment to come off like an ass, and he did. Scott still has'nt said, I did'nt mean for it to sound like that. That's not what I ment. And he won't. Ohh well, that's life. Bla,Bla,Bla. Scott your Opinion is worth less than your birds.

Willy, I would strongly encourage you to rethink this through. You have become a familliar face at the flies and club functions and I hate to see that ruined for you and for tthe rest of us who have enjoyed your company. Dont let one mans words change what you have grown to enjoy.
PS. In regards to Bills post I dont believe that we should judge these young bird kits any different than we would judge an old bird kit. If it is a scorable break, then score it. No pitty scores because I do believe that is sending the wrong message to a new flier. I truely hope that is not how you are expecting this fun fly to be scored.

Actually Joe back then I was one of those new fliers with limited space. You and all of the rest of the " Varsity " fliers were always willing to help us young guys out. That is what kept us around for so long. We built lasting frienships and I hope that will continue. Joe ---------- J.M.Urbon Lofts A Proven Family of Spinners http://www.freewebs.com/jmurbonlofts/

Ken,we are all freinds again so don't be a dick LOL,besides I flew the CCRC hard for a lot of years, we were extreamly competitive and flew a 5 series fly in the Spring Feb-June and a 3 series fly in the Fall Sept-Nov. I honestlty wanted and needed a a break and plus it allowed me to concentrate on the stock loft more, besides I am 40 miles from a real town, not sure what you thought I should do as you guys wouldn't pick me up, not that it matters as I have fallen in with the Central Valley Roller Club.

Boy am I glad I missed all this and I am glad it all smothed over.
Scott, I was not saying that this is how the fly should go. It all depends on the judge. That is really what I meant but young bird breaks. Sorry guys for getting things strung out. We have had plenty of local judging that was just like that here in Sacto NCRC flying group. And we had some good qualified judges also, which I could name. Joe Urban, Mike Waldon and Scott Campbell before. I dont want to name all the guys who counted action but they have been here also. I didnt hear much complaining at the end of the flies with lose judging. Same as with the big flies either. So anyway. didn't mean to get the fire going.
NOW I KNOW HOW KGB felt with his statements. I suppose I could have been accused of instagating a conflick when that is not what I intended. Bill C

I seem that a young bird fly would be schedule for the Fall... to give the young birds some maturity...you guys must get breeding ealier than we do around here...It is not until mid February that we get started breeding. Five month old birds would not be much fun to watch..you get the birds 7 or 8 months old.... it maybe.. worth the gas to drive around and watch. It does give the new guys a chance to..play.. bwinward

Scott, don't you just love it when a black person automatically calls you a racist because you don't like Obama. It always amazes me of the absolutely ignorant comments and assumptions people can make about others because they don't share their opinion. I do tend to agree with you about sponsoring young bird flys in that it can have the tendency to make people try to breed for earlier developing birds, etc. Knowing that your birds are like mine in that regard, mine don't really come in until they are past 6 months old. I suggest I guess its more of just a get-together thing.

Hi Scott,
yes we are friends and I value your friendship. Of course being the good friends and brothers in the Lord means we can be honest with each other and still be friends right?
I only wanted to let Willy know that I support anyones efforts to get more flies going that hopefully bring more of the nonflyers on board and get them involved - that is all.
And by the way - that is a Dun cock and don;t you forget it! LOL
Thanks buddy,
