  1. Believe it or not, the Pilot I demo'd (5 jumps) opened too fast for my liking. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  2. If for no other reason, it gives a selection process of -who- will go to the World Meet. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  3. http://www.nj.com/news/expresstimes/pa/index.ssf?/base/news-1/1121159107203510.xml&coll=2 Collision on river kills Palmer Township man Tuesday, July 12, 2005 By PETER HALL The Express-Times A Palmer Township man was killed Sunday when a personal watercraft collided with his fishing boat on the St. Lawrence River in the Thousand Islands region of New York. William L. Winter Sr., 65, of the 2100 block of Stocker Mill Road in Palmer Township, was fishing Sunday evening with three of his grandsons from Bangor. A Sea Doo personal watercraft driven by Amber Lee Bamon, of Watertown, N.Y., cut across the path of Winter's boat and collided with it about 5:40 p.m., New York State Police reported. Winter and his grandsons were thrown from the boat. The grandsons, Craig Stocker, 16; Ryan Stocker, 14; and Matt Stocker, 12; all of Bangor, suffered minor injuries. Winter was killed. An autopsy was scheduled Monday, police said. Bamon was hospitalized in Burlington, Vt., with internal injuries. Charges are pending the completion of an investigation, police said. Winter's family gathered Monday in Hammond, N.Y., where he had rented cabins for fishing trips for about 15 years, said his son, William Winter Jr., of Maryland. "Pretty much everyone is in shock and we're doing as well as we can," Winter Jr. said. "We'll all miss him very much." A dedicated family man, Winter Sr. spent as much time as possible with his grandchildren and attended all of their sporting events, Winter Jr. said. A lifelong resident of the Easton area, Winter Sr. had retired about five years ago from the U.S. Customs Service, where he was a deputy chief inspector. He worked predominantly at the airport and seaports in Newark, his son said. Winter Sr. began his career with the government in the early 1970s as one of the first Federal Air Marshals, a group of armed undercover officers that secretly flew on airliners as part of an effort to prevent hijackings. Before becoming a sky marshal, Winter worked with his father, George Winter Sr., and his brother, George Winter Jr., in their family construction business. William Winter Sr. was a master plumber, his son said. George Winter Jr. and William Winter Sr. also managed the Bethlehem-Easton Airport in Bethlehem Township during the late 1960s. The airport was a subject of controversy before it closed in 1968 because neighboring landowners objected to skydiving activities there.An avid skydiver, William Winter Sr. was a certified master parachute rigger. Well known in the Easton area, William Winter Sr. was a past president of the Easton Optimists Club and a past president of the Palmer Township Athletic Association. In addition to his son, he is survived by three daughters, Susan Stackhouse, of Palmer, Karen Stocker, of Bangor, and Lauren Winter, a student at Rochester Institute of Technology; seven grandchildren; and a great-grandchild. His second wife, Dee Ellen Winter, died in 1998. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  4. who? I recall seeing a link on SDAs website a few years ago, but its gone now... Where can we learn? From who? Jen Tanya Garcia-O'Brien at Perris still does the ground school, as far as I know and her husband/partner, Craig, will go up and video you for the classes. Team Perris Firestarter. World Champion Team, coaching whoever wants to learn!

  6. Ok....when I saw this on CBS this morning I thought they were joking! So I did a search on the subject. They've now come out with a Soy Bean T-Shirt! WTF? Then they went on to show a Milk Shirt! Anyone heard of this? I guess if they make a shirt out of cotton they can go Vegan on us, huh? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  7. Yes, that is why I asked. They didn't even cover the Malevsky Cup Meet either. Are Tim and Ted wanting to pull out of the world meets and only do local meets? Or are they dumping the whole thing all together? According to their schedule they're not even covering Nationals. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  8. I have 3 Bevsuits and none of them has had a seam fail. Perhaps those who have, have put alot of tunnel time on their suit. I've seen -alot- of damage to many different manufacture's suits after hours in the tunnel. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

  12. As much as we'd like to feature our sport in a venue like the Olympics, the status of whether or not it's a workable model for them hasn't changed. B.J. Worth and Co. tried but were shut down by the IOC. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

  19. Because they're good. Also, because their seamless editing with very easy to use integrated software makes it very attractive. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  20. I agree. Yet, I've taken it a step further and stated that those who spend every day in the tunnel -and- are AFFI rated are the very best bet. We have several like this at Perris (and Shark is correct, they do at Elsinore as well). It's not -just- about flying the body. Its the whole shebang....saving yourself and landing too. With an AFFI you get the whole thing, plus the continuity with a brand new student feeling comfortable with dealing with one person's style. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  21. Oh, can't -wait- to hear it. I'm sure Amy could capitalize on it as well.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  22. Skydive City has been sending "problem" students to the tunnel in Orlando since 1998. They use the standard "rat" and come back without any problems. For 7 years the rats have done a good job. It's a matter of better and best... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
