    [replyWow! Having almost 3000 jumps and 20+ years in the sport, but still don't know how to handle new commers. ---------------------------------------------------------- Stick around for 20+ years and let me know how you feel about arguing the same argument over and over and over again. Its gets old very quickly, but some of us stuck around for the battle. I feel as though I'm done arguing. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

    Thats why I quit. Its like talking to a rock. Some people need to learn all by themselves. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

    QuoteStill doubt you will ever see some dead guys kids saying "I'm so happy Daddy died when he jumped without a cypres and blacked out/lost alti awareness, shoulder dislocated/ lost handle etc." And I do listen. People with thousands of jumps have been saved by a Cypres. So there no reason I shouldn't have one. ------------------------------------------------------- Nobody is telling you not to buy one either. Ya need it...buy it....use it. The thing a lot of you newer jumps dont understand is that a great number of the older jumpers got into the sport because it "is" dangerous. You want to be part of the "mainstream"..go ahead. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

    FryNsky....Yossarian answered the question in your previous post. He would not now be a skydiver if he had to come up the way we did. Its a shame.....but its a fact. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

    don't lose sight, also, about how this affects the jumper retention issue. How many people are in that gray area of financial life, where they can't jump as often as many Perris regulars but they can still pursue the sport and be one of us? This extra cost is exactly what is needed to discourage them and drive them away forever. More important, however, is the effect these mandatory AAD policies have on younger jumpers. As they grow up into the sport, all they know is a world with mandatory AAD's. This causes them to adopt the mind-set that jumping without an AAD is VERY dangerous and, thus, AAD's should always be mandatory. Later, when these pups decide to start their own DZ's, guess what you must have if you want to be a customer?... ---------------------------------------------------------- good points Jon....well said. Cheers, Jon S. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

    QuoteDenny "Bear" Gainor (D-138) died of a heart attack at Perris today. He had made a couple of jumps went out to his car and died. Aw that just sucks. I met Bear almost three decades ago at Perris and he was always a great guy to jump with a newbie. If ya gotta go...thats a great way to finish up. Go easy brother. bozo Pain is fleeting.

    Excatly point. What about meteor? No idea. what the archeo types have found is that some sort of catyclism happens every 4000 + or - years....according to said same calendar. The calendar ends at 2012....so I guess thats it. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

    According to the Mayan calendar its all over in 2012. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

    To add a little more to my stoic earlier post, there are a few dropzones that require AADs for experienced jumpers....but the great majority still leave that a personal decision of the exp. jumper. Students and Tandems are regulated by a different set of rules with regards to AADs. On the other side of that coin the great majority of DZs do require them, for students and tandems,which anybody with any sense would have to agree with. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever.

    I wuz stumbling drunk down Shit Street in the PI. Ilongapo City........an old grizzled babe hung over an upstairs balcony....yelling...."HEY SAILOR...YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD BEFORE?????"

    To answer this specifically. I purposely never give advise to students here....or even on the DZ if they are under the care of another instructor. If asked I will try to provide an answer...usually that will be..."ask your instructor" To answer the first part of your question...ego maybe? bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever.

    [replyWant to know what sucks most about being a skydiving student? I know exactly what it feels like to be a student. Granted i'm an old fart and have been jumping a long time...but...I wasnt born as a skydiver. You can gain knowledge here....you get your training one on one at the DZ. Anyone who criticizes your performance, as a student, in a demeaning manner, is an asshole and needs to be informed of that fact bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

    QuoteYesterday I had already posted to this but I was thinking about it last night. My first thoughts was wow we might be crazy to seek advice from those we havent met, on the internet. So through my brainstorming I realized.... DZ.com is not "just the internet". Many of those who give advice are well known in the sport for thier achievements. ] You've overlooked one very important factor. We as experienced jumpers and instructors dont know you. We don't know how you act before the jump...during climbout....in freefall. We don't know the idiosyncracies that you exhibit while on the DZ, nor your attitude towards your training. The folks at your DZ do. The people here can give you a generalization of what you need or need to do, according to what they have seen students and novices do over the years. It isn't good enough. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.
