Finally the article comes out. Not because of an incident or any bad thing, but just because... Haven't actually seen it yet, just heard it was out finally. Out here in the outback we have to wait for someone to bring us the latest edition... Love and Blues and NO Wind Days, yo tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)

"what about the spiders?" You can eat them if you get hungry!!!! They usually feed 3-4. There are some great people jumping the TSR's. Three of your old team-mates John. AT least there was last year... We had a blast in Houston but it was HOT! tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)

Hey John, WE were having a discussion about the way a toilet bowl flushes. No need to tell you it was a weather day. Anyway, they were telling me that toilets in the southern hem. flush opposite ours. And that at the equator they flow straight down. And I said then at the poles they must shoot straight up, right. I am sure you will give us the straight poop, as it were. Feel free to publish this so all can learn and be edified. Thanks, Tom, the mouth tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)

NBC 92 year old skydiving, bad exits on national tv
loudtom replied to loudtom's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
This is no way an age issue. If you saw the jump that would explain part of my reasoning. But your first solo, and an IAD at that. Why not use the big door. Even if he was in the best shape for a 92 year old wouldn't you want to be safe! And he may have performed good on the ground but there was no wind on the ground and all that... They took the Pres. out of the tailgate. Granted they still hit his head but he didn't fall off. I just would err on the side of safety. And not show substandard video nationwide. tom Can you elaborate as to why you have that opinion? tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-) -
NBC 92 year old skydiving, bad exits on national tv
loudtom replied to loudtom's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Hey Yo, Do you remember which dz it was? I just thought it was poor video to show nationwide. If it was my tandem I would have asked them not to show me throwing the drouge while on my back flipping. And regardless of the video, no 92 year old should be on the step of the 182 for thier first solo. IMHO. Where is the sun. And you can have the wind... tom tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-) -

loudtom replied to loudtom's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Thanx for the reply, But when you submit footage to the "NEWS" everyone see's it. These jumps should never had been put on TV because whenever we are in the public eye we are ambassadors of OUR sport. People do know the difference between a good and a bad jump like Bush's Tandem they are not stupid and we should not treat them like idiots because they keep our sport alive and they have seen better than that mess. Why would anyone throw a drogue while on their back, and why put a 92 year old man out of a 182. We all have bad jumps but why show the worst??? Scotty Reedman useing Toms post -

Did anyone else see the terrible footage of the tandem exit and the IAD exit on National tv? Why would they put that on tv? tom tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-) -
Remember, I have vido of you! You wouldn't dare John! We were a team once and this is blackmail. I won't mention anything about you sissies up front again, oppssssss. And besides we still got our medal. That is one funny exit though. loudtom tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)

Ah, John, it makes you sound so safe. Up in front all the time. I still have the scars!!!!!!!!!!!!! tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)

Highest number of jumps prior to FIRST reserve ride?
loudtom replied to skydiverek's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I made it to 1138 before my first cutaway under a tandem rig. With almost 1900 total now and no cuts on my sport rig. I have almost 1000 sport rig jumps with no cutaways, but I do jump conservative do to a bad back. I haven't run across anyone who waited that long yet. tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-) -
Has any TM ever taken a paraplegic on a tandem before?
loudtom replied to TALONSKY's topic in Instructors
Hey You Yo's, At Chicagoland Skydiving we have a Boogie every year for the MS crowd and I watched Nathan Dexter take a few of the more hindered people up. He became my new Idol that day... There are definately ways to do it and make it easier, and yes you should have your stuff together. You Rock Nathan... loudtom the yo p.s. yager bombs RULE!!! tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-) -

I felt I had reached the pinnacle of the sport when I went to one of Jerry's weekend boogies in Pahokee and He remembered my name after almost a year had passed. He is a great organizer at anything I have ever jumped at with him!!!!!! tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
