WickedWingsuits 0 #15 September 7, 2012 I don't think this is anything new to Wingsuiting. Based on some of the stories I have heard from the 70's about belly politics and even later about the birth of freefly it seems like history just repeating itself. We think we are special and unique but we are not...just more skydive drama. You know you love it. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

normiss 871 #20 September 7, 2012 I think the intent of the comment was that stating you have a rating from a governing body when said governing body has no such rating means you don't have that rating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electronaut 0 #22 September 7, 2012 Really? The one who claims to represent the whole wingsuit community (they sure as shit do not represent me) that goes to the BOD meeting where they are reprimanded for providing false data in their quickly hodge podged hail mary survey that included, non skydivers, non wingsuiters and non USPA members, and for generally composing themselves in a deplorable manner. The one who did not work tirelessly to update the SIM's section on wingsuiting significantly yet attacks the person you did. The one who has provided zero constructive feedback. The one who changed the base on the most recent record so that it would fit after the dive, otherwise it would not have. The one who keeps clinging to a shitty formation standard claiming we are different because we have no competition system compared to FS and VFS. We have a competition system that just doesn't work well with their chosen giant suits. And the one who is organizing a 100 way (maybe 100) who can't safely conduct a 2 way. I am sick and tired of seeing this person trying to pull the wool over everyones' eyes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #23 September 7, 2012 Wow. What did I miss? Oh, nothing really. Same drama from the same drama queens. No wonder I don't logon to this forum anymore.

skydave114 0 #25 September 7, 2012 Quote Are rapidly ruining this activity. Do any of you remember when you jumped just because it's FUN??? I know plenty of people who never do fun jumps anymore, and plenty more who rarely pay for their own slot.All this drama, grids, paid coaching, canopy classes, packing lessons, more and more rules, .....I want no part of it!! Thats a big reason why I call no DZ "home", and why lately I've been finding other things to do on weekends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
