Well it really does not matter... Just learn to jump. I had a guy tell me many years ago that I would never be any good because I learned S/L?????? I never really got that. Anyway you will find most people will preach whatever method they learned on. Both methods have advantages, and disadvantages....I am not going to get into them here....search the forum for the debates. Just do it....jump....If you start S/L and have problems with the FF...Then do an AFF or Tandem...If there are low clouds..do a S/L.

Tony Suits....Never did fit me right...Its all I ever owned. Then the Army bought me a Michagan suit....I love it. Michagan Suit...Fits great. I like my booties longer than most people. I called Mike, sent the suit down, and had it back in a week. Perfect fit! I have 300 jumps on it, and about 10 hrs in the tunnel on it. No problems at all. I just orderd a new one last night for my new team. I have no problem getting another Michagan, or recomending them to anyone. His suits are great, and they are stong...His service is fantastic!!!! I have seen him fly to Zhills to look at a persons suit. Merlin....Uh, we were sponsored by them last year....It took 4 mths longer than we were told to get the suits. Then with about 4 tunnel hrs,and 30 jumps, the zippers on two of the teams suits had to be replaced. 3 of our team suits have ripped knee seams, The other guys suit ripped right up the ass seam. So 2 zippers, and ALL 4 SUITS WITH BAD SEAMS. OK, we are hard on suits....We called, as a sponsored team, and got blown off. Never gonna wear a Merlin again...and its a shame, it fit and flew well. But the endurance of the suit was sub par...And the service sucked. I will not wear one, and I will not recomend them to anyone. Bev...I hear good things about them, and I was thinking of getting one this year. But the team got sponsorship from Michagan, and hell I love his suits. So I can only tell you that they look good.

Physics Presentation on Skydiving
Ron replied to NoShitThereIWas's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
A presentaion that works well is to take a box fan, lay it on its side (With chairs holding it up so it gets flow). Take some of those hand held fans they give at ball games ect....You know, the ones with a wooden handle. (Or any other flat surface that can be held.... TELL them how we deflect Air to move....Then SHOW them how..Then let them DO it. Combine this with some video of you doing sideslides and turns.... Its a good presentation. hope this helps.

And when did I say I was better than anyone? Never.....All I did was point to a fact....If you don't like it...Thats YOUR ASSUMPTION OF WHAT I AM, OR SAID. I never claimed to be better than anyone. But this is yesterdays thing..Im done now. Zeemax, glad you had a good time. Keep jumping. Are the rest of you happy now?

you forgot G: get a life UHHH.I have a life.. And as for the rest of twhat you wrote...do what I did...Move to a place with many DZ's. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

OK, but this is the "new kinder" DZ.Com What I really wanted was to: A: Piss people off by saying only facts, and not calling anyone names. B: Hijack the shit out of a thread....I have seen it done so many times....It pisses me off, I thought I would do it to someone that I have seen do it. C: Get my BS posts in that I have missed for the last few years. D: Maybe get people pissed off and then maybe get them to think before the do it to someone else...I doubt this will happen, but hey I had nothing to do today. E: Is this shit ever gonna end? F: I did want to hijack the thread, AND get it a HOT TOPIC....Oh well I can't have everything can I? Well 5 out of 6...not bad. I will not be here to night, so maybe I will get that last one...... Just in case, here are a few standard responses (If someone could cut and past these for me I would be very thankful) 1. I never said that...read what I wrote. 2. I never called anyone an evil name. 3. I am only saying the truth, If you take it as an insult...thats not my fault. 4. You don't like what I wrote...don't read it. 5. I am only responding to people that respond to me. 6. BOOBIES!!!!! I could not resist. 7. These are all facts.... 8. It's amazing that only those with high post to jump ratios are pissed. Well I had fun today.....Thanks! I would love to stay, but I have to drive my rental (My Mustang is in the shop....Don't buy Ford, its a long story, but the thing is a 01 GT with 40,000 miles on it...At 18,000 the 3rd gear went out...At 39,000 the power steering rack is shot. Maybe thats why I was all confrontational today...anybody here with one class in mental heath, and 200000 posts on www.mentalheath.com board that wants to give me expert advice??????) to the gym then back to my trailer on the DZ and let my dog out.

How about my other posts????? Ya know the 400 others? Lets just say today I did ALL my BS posts in one day (And in one thread) That most people do every day. AND I did it with out name calling, yelling, cussing....AND I only used facts! There has to be a record there somewhere????

Well its not that I have "insecurity issues" trust me if you knew me...you would not say that And its not that I think bad of people that post here all day..... What I have an issue with is three fold. 1. People who post...and have no idea what they are talking about.....It's not an issue here, I have never seen Zeemax post as an expert. But lots of people have with 100 jumps given opinions as experts. A lot of them DO think that having a bunch of posts makes you valuable, and your comments credable. It does not....Raw jump #'s don't either, but it is a better indication than post #'s 2. Some of the mindless posting that does happen here...My personal fav is "BOOBIES"...then the 5 posts that talk about the boobies. 3. The hijacking of threads....Which I have to say I just did quite well. All I said was something that people that DO have security issues take seriously....But is FACT. Think about it the next time you feel the need to post noise (BOOBIES!), or hijack a thread. I know that it is so much easier to post than to jump....Hell I have made 12 jumps in a day, but I think I might have made 12 posts today, and I am not nearly as tired, and I made money while I did it. Again, anyone that knows me.....Knows I go out of my way to help new people. But maybe you all will think about this the next time you feel like a mindless post....or hijacking a thread. I doubt it...I really doubt it. But I have had fun today.... Ron "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Now this is funny...Of course I will get yelled at for posting my opinion here.... From what I understand if people don't like what you say..then you are an evil man...even if you didn't say anything evil "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
-
Like I said...I am only answering what people say... So I am a pain in the ass....Just like all those who post just to write BOOBIES!!!! Now that was well thought out, and informative.. Truth be known, I am glad that Zeemax jumped...I am glad that the girl with 3 tandems and 400 posts is here...I am glad that she is going to do AFF....I am glad for every Tandem I do...Because it lets one person know what we do...some of them might actually buy in and become jumpers. Never did I say anything evil...I just was surprized when I saw he just did AFF..I have seen him here so much I assumed that he had been jumping a while. So I point that out....And all hell breaks loose. Well I am not sorry I pointed that out. And I ask you to find ONE comment I made that was evil. Nope, But a lot of people TOOK it as an insult...I never gave one. And the fact that a bunch of post crazy people got upset...That is even funnier to me. don't like it...well stop responding to it, and it will die... If I have done anything wrong, I am sure a "greenie" would have yelled at me. So, why is it ok for everyone but me...to say what I think?

how is it going to get locked? I have not said a single evil thing. All I did was point out a large jump/post difference. Now, a bunch of people with large gaps are getting upset....Now thats not my fault. As for posting...well if people can post baby pics, Who did what to whom, he slept with who...I can post the things I find funny... In this case its large post to jump numbers.... You don't like it...let the thread die. I only answer when people say things to me..... Funny it is only those with no jumps and a lot of posts that are getting mad...... So I am a wanker, because I don't agree with you....Thats the first mean thing that has been said...You will get this locked, not me. So everyone can express what they think....except me when it hurts your feelings? Ron "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

The read what I wrote....and do 100 posts about it... Dont like what I write...don't read it! Funny only those with a 17 to 1 post to jump ratio seem pissed at me! Ron "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

So its ok for you to ramble..... Others to post baby pics... But not me to point out something I find funny? Interesting..... "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Hey Chris... Whos arguing??? I just pointed out the differance between some peoples posts to jump#'s.... Just like I would point out at a bonfire a guy that talks all the time, but not about skydiving...then when a skydiving topic comes up wants the same level or even more respect than the guys who have done more....Yes everyone has the right to say what they want , and to have an opinion....But they should understand that they will not have the same level of respect as say Jerry Bird. When people with more exp. than me talk...trust me I listen. And I don't argue with them. Chris I am a pilot....but if you start talking flying...I shut up and listen. Some don't See?

You have apparently been posting since the end of October, 2002. You have 427 posts. Have you made 427 jumps in the last 5 months? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Didn't I do like 40 of those with you? I think you have the video Ron "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

And some would say 500 posts and 22 jumps is lame as well. It is clear you spend more time here on the net than you do at the DZ... Maybe you should change that? Ron "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
