Default RE: 2005 sequences

Sorry 10channel, but my experience tells me it can be done....if you're not satisfied with the sequence you've designed- modify it.....if it doesn't flow well - make it....and if you end up with strange positioning - change it!
It doesn't matter if you're working with an individual sequence or a series of similar sequences, it takes a lot of time and thought to come up with sequences that are both challenging to the pilot and judgeable by the average judge ~ NOT EASY!
I advocate using this system for Unknown designs....not sure if it's such a good idea for the Knowns!? Then again, maybe it is!?
I hate to see the sequence debate get so political......on one hand, it's just a hobby and a sport...on the other, as hobbyists and competitors we put a lot of time and money into our "sport" and naturally want to see how we match up to the other guy! Trick is, as we are finding, to continually develope sequences that fairly challenge us and raise the bar each year.
Look at the TOC sequences of just 10 years ago!!!!! Other than the rollers, not much more difficult than the Intermediate or Advanced of today! I worry that we're pushing the complexity and difficulty levels to the ridiculus and that could be self-defeating.
I don't have any answers..... I feel like I'm just along for the ride sometimes. But I do love the hobby and I do love aerobatics ~ I'm sure we'll work these out, as we always have!
Thanks for your opinions and comments.
