  1. It's a good point - we actually had this happen to our video guy three years ago and we felt TERRIBLE. The camera guy opens high (sometimes way higher than the rest of us - we kind of delay and mess around a little at breakoff), then we are typically looking for traffic below us. Since then, I always check for the ENTIRE team. However, not seeing the camera guy is a good excuse because of special breakoff considerations for him - but only once. At least, I can see how it happens.... ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

  8. Steven Segal? Harrison Ford?

  11. What a bunch of partisan hacks here. Here's a very public guy wanting to make a skydive - which is excellent for our sport. And all you guys can do is pound on him for reasons completely unrelated to skydiving (except Kallend this time, that comment did relate to jumping). So if JK can restrain himself on this post, what's up with the rest of you? ...

  12. Sunday - finally got to jump, haven't been out since December - Can't wait for the season to get going. (Saturday winds at altitude were over 100 MPH, movies and reading, family time there....) ...

  13. Not really an improvement in the ankle support, toe and heel protection of a sandal now, is it? I'll always wear shoes from now on. Used to jump with Tevas all the time and I admit I enjoy the air, but the random 'solid' landing and running out on sandals just plain hurts. Also, it's harder to get a good grip on launches and climb out barefoot or in sandals. It's not worth it. I can put the sandals on while walking around, but not while jumping. ...

  14. Strange thread. I'll reply in general 1 - We have a place called Papa Murphy's (take and bake pizza, cookie dough....) It's the best. anyway - this whole thread speaks to customer service and this self superior attitude of many staff at these places (not about the customers at all). Customers do not live this stuff daily and have questions. Get over it. If you've heard it 20 times, it does NOT matter, it's the first time that customer asked it likely and they might be distracted or just not care and expect some of the details from the staff because that's THEIR JOB. playing jokes on customers, playing off their ignorance, it's bad form and cause for dismissal. That gas station post is completely out of line. I hope the driver was heads up enough to recognize the prank and contacted the owners. It can seriously hurt the business. I don't care if you are responsible for lives of hundreds of people or work a temporary minimum wage job, if you don't care enough to do it right, then quit and open up a spot for someone that does care. If not, this is plain sabotage. You might not care, but other employees might just need this business to succeed in order to feed their kids. (of course I'm post whoring, so I see the irony here. And I've also posted "There are no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid people that keep asking questions" and I also see the irony there.) ...

  15. I like the list - It's missing some generalities about fathering and fatherhood. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
  16. My wife didn't jump until our daughter got older, and might have to quit while our daughter is in high school also - but this is because of our need to make sure she gets attention and parenting during those times when bringing her to the airport every weekend isn't the best for her.... Nothing to do with outside people's opinions. Look at your family and friends (who also have kids)that say this - now which ones drive, ski, ride motorcycles, SMOKE, climb, etc? and point out the hypocrisy of their statements and that they come from a point of complete ignorance (zero knowledge) about this sport. It doesn't work, but it might make you feel better. Your life, your choice, I was not polite with my sisters about this and it is absolutely not a discussion topic with them in any way shape or form. These are busybodies who have no other life and they'll quickly turn on someone less strong than you. You won't change their thinking, don't try, just ignore them as a minor nuisance. ...

  18. Buzzing airplanes - I love that. We are parked about 2 miles north of a major interstate. Private pilots will fly right overhead because they can look out their window and see the interstate - they must be using roadmaps or something and never heard of GPS. Our pilot will chase them away every chance he gets. We have multiple planes and either do CrW at the end of the day, or stay off the windline as well during the day. No real issues so far. CrW mostly happens when the ceiling is below 10K so not as much interest in jumping when the Otter is here... ...

  22. Here's us (today it's 30 MPH winds) Saturday Partly cloudy. Windy. Highs around 45. West winds 10 to 20 mph in the morning becoming northwest 20 to 25 mph with gusts to around 40 mph in the afternoon. So it's above 30 tomorrow, but likely no good since to local DZs don't start until nearly noon anyway.... maybe Sunday...... ...

  23. I wasn't coming at it from that direction, but nice point anyway. (I'd much rather mock the perceived need for multiple formulations of gasoline and the perceptions that drive this type of unnecessary expense. ie. well intentioned, but likely causes more harm than good).

  25. Summer and winter fuels? Parts of the country (New England, the mid-west) have laws that require reformulation of gasoline during cold winter months to reduce fuel-based emissions. But in California? they don't have laws that stifle supply just to satisfy special interest groups.... ...
