  1. The following scam has been reported: Click here to read more about these kind of scams. Remember: DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance. Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer". Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check. If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.This username has been disabled. Safe swoops Sangiro
  2. It wasn't harmless and it had no point other than to offend, almost like your post to Chris earlier which was just as uncalled for. With your burden of bias, don't act surprised and don't attempt to involve me in these petty squabbles. I don't dance to that music. Poor you. Safe swoops Sangiro
  3. Shannon died base jumping, not skydiving. Apples and Oranges my friend. Ohh pleeeeze! This is about the point where I've had enough of your BS. Go find yourself another forum to play on... permanently. Safe swoops Sangiro
  4. Hey Beth, I've asked a few times for the vendors list and haven't heard anything yet. I'm getting a sense that a lot of the industry players are not going to the convention this year. Why is that? Can you publish a list of vendors who've confirmed that they'd be there please? This has always been an opportunity to get exposed to manufacturers and the likes. It's one of the factors that people consider when deciding whether to come or not. I for one would like to know. Same goes for seminars. Who or what has been confirned for this year.

  6. But then you went ahead an acted like one anyways. Well, you just got one from me. I understand that you're grieving...many people here are. This is just not the way to do it. That was totally uncalled for. You owe FFF an apology. Safe swoops Sangiro

  12. My condolences to her family and friends. FYI - to avoid confusion. This is not Taya who posts as "Taz" to these forums. See the link above. Safe swoops Sangiro
  13. Heya all, We've run the indexing again and it took a bit longer than expected. For some reason the posts for the last few months are not being indexed. This means if you do a search now, posts made since somewhere in May will not be shown in the results. We'll keep working on that and will try do get that built without shutting the forums down. Apologies for any inconvenience. Safe swoops Sangiro

    Collision on opening

    While doing CRW, on exit another jumper experienced a 180 off heading opening with line twists and flew straight into this jumper. This jumper was setting up to approach the formation and was unaware of the canopy heading at her. This jumper had a toggle

    Low toggle turn

    Witnesses observed a normal/uneventful canopy opening and descent after a hop aand pop at 6000 feet. At and altitude of less than 100 ft., the jumper was observed to make an attempted 180 degree turn using toggle input. The turn was not a hard toggle whip
  16. During a tandem skydive the student fell out of the harness on deployment. Strong Enterprises, the maker of the tandem gear involved on this jump has examined video of the skydive and has concluded that the harness was not properly fitted to this passenge

  18. Heya all, The search index on the site got corrupted and we had to clear it. We're going to bring the site down for about an hour to reindex the search tables. Brace yourselves... you may even want to try to get some work done... then again... maybe not! Safe swoops Sangiro
  19. Any word on this? I went back and the link to the vendors page seem to have been removed (even though the same page is still sitting on the server) I am curious to know who's going to be there. If your webmaster cannot update the site quickly, can you post a list here? I'm also curious about the nightly seminars. What's been confirmed?
  20. Beth - is the vendors list on the WFFC page up to date? Looks like very few vendors on there... Just wondering.
  21. Jumper was reported to have a malfunctioning main and for some reason pulled the reserve too low to get inflation before landing. Details are few on this incident, this is not a normal DZ but more of an informal group that jumps at the airport.

  24. Now there's a wise man. There are almost as many 'tricks' out there as there are web sites and this is still the single most important thing you can do. There are a lot of other things you should do, and not do - as Google will also penalize you when it spots one of the many tricks. I'm sure there will be people here who offer to make it happen for you. As with skydiving, get the basics right and be careful about who you take advice from...including myself. If you are willing to pay, but not break the bank, consider talking to someone like Eric Wolfram. At least read some of his writings. For entertainment, read Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO Blog. He's got an inside view of Google and will bombard you with a combination of good stuff an BS. You be the filter. Have fun!
