Re: [RC] Elevator Rides - Susan Young CaseyWe used elevator rides to encourage riders to move up. However, you'd move from say a 25 to a 50, a 50 to a 75 or a 75 to a 100. I don't know if they had a 50 to a 100. At any rate, once you committed to move up, you had to complete that greater distance or not complete the ride at all. The S. African idea is neat because it's a win-win situation. "I *think* I can complete that greater distance so I'll try. If I can't go that additional distance, I have still completed the ride at the lessor distance." That concept doesn't fit into the American system. However, this different way has it's merits...such as actually getting riders to try the greater distance. --- goearth <goearth@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: There was a time when the South Carolina 100 had something called an elevator ride and you could move up. It was an incentive to get people to the longer distances. It has been discontinued i think and those results i do not know. LD has not worked, moving people up, because i think modern day society has become complacent and not subject to the want of inflicting pain while expecting gain. ts ===== Susan Young Casey, Princess of Pink, LIW, RRHA, RHS Semper Obliquo (Always aside) Glenndale Grace Farm, Ft Gibson, Oklahoma U.S.A.
