Copy and paste from USPA President Chuck Akers, without permission. If you are a USPA member and you're reading this, PLEASE VOTE in the board of director elections!!Historically, the voting turnout has been dismal. We need to change that. You can make a big difference! Voting is fast and easy. Just sign in to your USPA account (or first time users can create one) and follow the link to the election section. That's it. You're in. uspa.org. Your choices for regional director will be displayed by your region, and all candidates for the 8 national director positions will be displayed. You can vote for up to 8 national directors. It is important that we all cast a vote. USPA is OUR organization. Our members call the shots - especially at the ballot box. And I include -- Your October issue of Parachutists has all the Candidates information.

So apparently I am an "enemy from within." According to Trump, the left is "weaponizing elections" like they did in 2020 by not electing him president. This is due to the "enemy from within" the US who won't vote for him. His words: "I think the bigger problem are the people from within,. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or, if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen." And of course that echoes the rhetoric of another historical figure, who said that "never in our history have we been conquered by the strength of our outside enemies but only through our own failings and the enemy in our own camp." I am proud to be considered enemies by both of them.

A man came up to me, big man, strong man, tears in his eyes and he said Sir! Sir! I served 20 years in the Navy and I never saw such beautiful water as you've given us here.

I always get a chuckle when I post things that conservatives said, then another conservative says that they don't believe that nonsense that I got from my left wing news sources. It's the first step in the usual process: 1) "He never said that!" 2) "OK he said that but what he really meant was X" 3) "Biden did it first"

If you 'won't define; it, then what justifies your ability to speak of something that clearly, you cannot/will not articulate, other than examples of things that you disagree with. 'mass psychosis'.... a great way to dodge a question obviously far greater than that your ability to address it, or certainly beyond your comprehension. You don't understand it, you don't like things that happen, you cannot explain it, you WILL not explain it and your answer is to collectively lump a massive chunk of society into a thing you call 'mass psychosis'. That is pretty fucking lame. If your excuse is that a significant portion of the population is suffering from mass psychosis, then I could just as validly claim that people who think like you are all 'blind idiots'. I am not offering any justification for that and what you ask me to clarify, I can just say, well, what I really mean is 'they are all stupid' but I do not 'want to offer you an explanation of what I mean'. That would be just as invalid a statement as the strong of rubbish you have offered on the subject of woke. It is perfectly Ok to say 'I just do not understand woke so I am not going to comment on it'. Which is advised in your case,

I just watched the entire Trump Chicago economic interview. Very surprised at the audience cheering for him and booing the interviewer about Jan 6. Trump seemed more coherent than usual, but what an arrogant fuckwit - of course he ‘knows’ more about economics and tariffs than the experts. In Aus the C word is very common. A friend who fosters was describing an abusive mother and said “she lacks the depth and warmth to be a c…’. I think that describes Trump perfectly

It's the latter. They want to see someone stick it to half the country. He fulfills their sociopathic dreams.

I'm jumping a Safire3 at 1.4 wingloading as a wingsuit canopy. The openings are amazing. Soft but not snivvely, on heading. Better openings than my previous Sabre2, better flare than my old Pilot. Soft stand up landings on no wind days. Behaves well in slow flight, flattens out well on rears, gets me back from ugly long spots. Surprisingly good harness response at 1.4 wingloading. Fun to fly, highly recommend to anyone, even those just off student status.

After a reserve ride, I demoed a Safire 2 from the gear store since multiple people told me they had awesome openings. It only took 2 rides for me to know that I was buying an Icarus canopy next. When I ordered my Safire 3, I knew that 1.6 was higher than they recommended, so I called NZ and asked why did they recommend 1.5 max. They said that at higher wing loadings the flare would suffer. I ordered it anyways because I was getting bored on the Hornet (Old pilot) I had loaded at 1.4. The openings were amazing, the turns were responsive, but the flare was unimpressive. I was kind of upset even though I had been warned. It seemed that if I did not use a front riser turn or double fronts, the flare was not that strong. However, I also noticed that I could not stall the canopy. So I had Nick Armstrong trim the brake lines 4.5" and man did this canopy come alive! Great Flare, super responsive and the same SOFT snively openings as before! I am so glad I bought this canopy now. I look forward to putting 500-700 jumps on this canopy!

ahaha The best I've seen was at Perris last summer when there was a huge fart at 2 grand.... Then at 4,500 the hop n pops get out, and the last guy, (let's just call him....) Greg yelled "IT WAS ME!!" and jumped out! We all almost died!
