You pull that number out of thin air? It takes more fuel to land with a load of people vs an empty plane. So cutting a deal for not jumping is above what's necessary. YOu pay for the slot - jump or ride. So charging less for riding down is a very decent thing for a DZO to do but doesn't fall under "should". But if this guy is paying "nearly $40" then he's getting charged for gear rental too. I think that's pretty crappy of the DZO. It wasn't cycled, nor does it need to be packed. ...

go find a track before you kill someone I lived off of a long stretch of rural road with long driveways. When we were kids, sometimes we'd ride our bicycles at night from town back home after a day. and then there were the deer, dogs, etc. totally selfish and irresponsible, call it 'fun' if you like, but if you kill someone, hopefully you fix it at that time so you don't get to drive again it still amazes me the idiotic rationalization I see here about driving fast - suck it up and pay for the track and the training to do it right ...

I'd recommend the entire FJC But you might get a little slack if you go to the tunnel and get your freefall position a bit dialed in.

"If you have purchased an RW suit with booties here is how to check the fit of the booties. Put the suit on with the shoes you wear while skydiving. You should be able to put your suit on while wearing your shoes, pulling the bootie over the toe of your shoes after you have the suit on may tear the foot cup. Make sure your foot is all the way forward into the foot cup. Your booties will look loose while standing straight up, as will the torso (remember you will use this while arching, not while standing and looking down). Putting on a rig will help ensure the booties fit correctly. Lay down on the floor and arch, the booties should tighten from knee to toe as you bend your leg toward 90degrees - point your toes to pull the bootie taut. If you can’t point your toes or your toes are being pulled down the booties are too tight. If your feet completely straighten out, then they are too long. The goal is with a good arch, and knees bent to not quite a right angle, you can point your toes to just past a right angle and the booties snap taut." this is from my wife's website on fit of the booties agree with the prof - replace the t with a b and you'd get more input ...

My standards for all people on the topic is "you don't beat up on others". I don't see how you can have a higher or lower standard on the topic. What would it be? "you can beat up another a little bit and it's ok with me, while that guy can't" ?? it's nuts. How can someone have moving standards? this is about semantics anyway - if you read the other responses you might have caught that ...

Sheriff's deputy beats inmate until his leg breaks
rehmwa replied to riddler's topic in Speakers Corner
I'm with you on that. But that's law, not standards. It could apply to anyone with special position or knowledge - doctors poisoning a patient, accountants stealing money, martial arts experts/cops/pro fighters/etc attacking someone. The only thing I can think of that's specially for cops/military/law enforcement ---- is punishment for standing aside while a crime is being committed - that's about duty - the civilian has no obligation to stop a crime, but LE should. I can't find this vid anymore - but when I see a cop beating on someone like this, the real tragedy isn't the beat down (sad, but stuff happens), or the bad cop (there are bad apples in all jobs), but the fact that most of the time, there's a partner or other cops that stand there and won't do their duty and stop him. ...

It's not against the law to fight back against the accountant. Wendy P. I still don't hold the accountant to a lesser moral standard than the cop, the engineer, the doctor or the garbageman. I hold "people" to standards and don't expect more or less from anyone different from me or others. I have learned to have different "expectations" from individuals, but it's not tied to their jobs. It's tied to their demonstrate actions. If you mean to have different 'qualification criteria' for becoming a cop, I'm ok with that. As for punishment? If someone wants to establish a separate punishment for assaulting someone in handcuffs, then that's fine - but the same punishment should apply to the accountant who would handcuff his victim also. This "cop" wasn't acting as a cop. he was acting as a jerk and a criminal - and should be treated as such. ...

absolutely, as one would with anyone with special knowledge or position - the problem with the statement "I'd hold (those guys) to a higher standard" is just a cop out for someone to hold themselves to a lower standard and feel good about it or to justify classism by group. Standards are universal. The statement implies an aristocratic mindset and despite to lesser beings. I find it as repugnant as someone saying they'd hold someone of a certain skin color to higher/lower standards than another color. It completely ignores the concept of a free individual and buckets people into stereotypes. ...

bull - so it's less of a crime if an accountant beats on someone and breaks their leg??? police officers should be held to the same standards as all of us - everyone should be held to the same standards - else you get crap when one person gets more punishment for the exact same crimes as someone else based on stupid stuff - like career, income, color, sex, etc etc etc - instead of just their actions - actions should define the punishment when they commit a crime on another (such as criminal assault), then they should go to trial and be punished - just like the rest of us ...

280lbs - WTF am I going to do?

There's 6 DZ within a 3 hours of the cities - call them all and ask about option. We have at least one experienced jumper at Baldwin with a modified tandem rig for his size (he's fit and just a really tall and big guy), if you come out and he's there, you could ask him what he did. But from your pics, you do have some weight to lose. Hard to tell how much. Any that you can would help. It's hard to change one's metabolism, good luck. ...
