OUR WAY 2013-2014 (4/4)
20-01-2013Final point with some kind of recall : our general philosophy.
4. OUR GENERAL PHILOSOPHY
a) NEVER COMMERCIAL
Since the beginning, the B.I.G challenge always tried to be soft financially speaking, no sponsorship, no necessary need to pay to subscribe, no financial interest, with the goal to avoid the loss of our natural freedom to manage the challenge only by ourselves.
b) BALANCE BETWEEN INCREASING AND STABILITY
The throwing of the website in the B.I.G-world increased very (too ?) rapidly the amount of members in the beginning of the 21st century. Now since 2010, we tried to stabilize and we'll wait for 2015 before trying a new impulsion with an eventual new boom of members, just before a new phase of stability, to enlarge our basis before giving it more fixed structure.
c) FRIENDS BEFORE, RANKED AFTERWARDS
We always tried to give more importance to the tops to reach, than to the sides to ride. Of course, with some short walls, the side is important but those kinds of B.I.Gs are very few in our superlist. We reach points in a map with the pride to have reached them on the bike. The clasement isn't the main priority, but the experiences shared on the same places make us unified, even if our way to communicate is mainly virtual. Friends before, ranked afterwards.
d) OUR CRITERIA
Like the president will explain in the president's words in the beginning of the coming annual review, we show the cycling world in its whole shape, through all its practices of cycloclimbing. Forever, sport, tourism and legend will be inside the B.I.G challenge, not only one of those topics.
e) OUR PRINCIPLES
Like we suggest for the coming lists of the national challenges and forever for the superlist, we have to keep in our mind for always the 5 principles of the lists of our favourite climbs, able to be read in our rules. The large vision of those principles always give a good dispatching in our lists, avoiding the trend to go to some very too precise cycling way of life.
