  1. maybe i should just party all night at eric's cabin and sleep off the hangover sunday. i have a fear of drowning.
  2. great, your going to make me file bankruptcy mel!
  3. i dont ever remember seeing a stundent go up after dark.
  4. so were going to do one comp. and we will figure the rest out this weekend.. someone talk to paul and find out what date's are good for him.
  5. rumor has it that skydiving.com was stolen also, well not stolen, but not paid for in full. but i dont know that for a fact. maybe someone should ask lyle.
  6. i honestly dont remember any saftey issues there, so i wouldnt take that avenue. or bark up that tree. but the moral issue has alot of clout. mike, i hate it that you stay there, i really do.
  7. alot of drop zones have a no refund policy. and there isnt anything wrong with it. having a refund policy for if you cancell in advance is common also. and i in no way think that is a scam. but if somone is lied to and drive's 8 hours. "they should have done reserch but for some reason didnt." and they get there on sat and the weather is bad. so they decide they need to stay in a hotell so they dont make the drive again. then the weather is bad on sunday. do they get a refund then because they cant make the 8 hour trip again? no, they dont, they got scamed into the drive, and the refund policy just happens to be there... and those alligations are under investigation. so yes, they are just alligations. but there is proof on paper. the outcome will be not to far away.
  8. Just a quick note most Skydiving centers charges a cancellation fee. Most of them will not even give a grace period but ASC does give you a period of time that you can cancel. If that is a scam then I guess skydive center across the country should be accused of the same thing. what about charging somone who didnt show up when they were calling a nuymber that was stolen. they were trying to go to a fund raiser for chris martins family but schedualed at asc because the number was stolen. when they showed up in tullohoma to the fund raiser and jumped and pay'd cash to the peeps running the show. how come they now have a charge on there credit card? would you think that is a scam? because that is the truth.. i know what you guys in the office have been told there, and im telling you, they are lies. the fact is, ASC stole money and belongings from a dead skydiver and his family. and stole money from there fundraiser, that is a fact... what are they telling you? that IS a scam, and once you have been around for a few more years it will begin to show itself to you more and more.. so why do you think some staff is quiting? some getting fired? where are they going? smart peeps if you ask me.. and good people. and yes, im back
  9. they required skydive the farm to get one when it opened. thats all i know. and as far as i know, mike does run the school. or at least he is the manager of it. so since chuting star is mike's buisness then i wouldnt think it is so far fetched that it is chuting star that runs the school.
  10. well if paul can't make it, we will have to reschedule the other one, i guess we will talk with dave this weekend. are you positive paul isnt going to be there? someone got his number?
  11. Ladies and gentlemen he's a comedian, it's just too bad he has been telling the same joke for two years.
  12. that would be an iron man event. the king air should be able to handle it. i got dibs on julia as a packer!
  13. let me know if you need some help "accessorizing" that thing jay! i got ideas flowin! just no money flowin.
  14. lol... yes it can i heard an AFF instructor, of all people, once give advice to a girl who was having problems with her landings and about 75 jumps. he said "hold deep brakes till treetop level then let the canopy "surge" forward and build speed so that she has more lift to flare with" i had to make sure to pull her aside and not only explain why "NOT" to do that, and then i had to explain why an aff instructor would give that sort of advice. you havent felt riser pressure till you jump a vx loaded at 2.5, there are ways to pull them down. but why do you have to fly with your risers? harness works great, but only at higher wingloadings. i would say some one on one coaching would be your best bet. and if you come to www.skydivethefarm.com one on one canopy controll coaching is available every weekend for free. just ask.
  15. 12 rounds, two comps in one.. 4 speed carve 4 distance and 4 zone acc.
  16. lee, do you find that every time you call in sick, you get a busy signal?
  17. it actually is the size of the placard if you measure it the way they did to get that size. which is a different way than what the industry standard way of measuring is now.
  18. i saw you had "m" and "f" for male and female next to each name, then i saw "u" next to pyke's name. i was thinking, what the hell is u? universal? lol.... ok, i see. "undecided"
  19. just dont forget to remember.
