That’s what I have been saying all along. USPA, S&TA’S, instructors, none of them have the ability or authority to enforce squat. Only the DZO’s can control what happens at their DZ. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Bouncing off a llama reminded me of my buddy's first AFF jump. Start watching at 2:26. My favorite part is the guy who turns into a giant, rolling piece of pink cotton candy at 2:36. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV9jAxjNNsk My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Right after one of the first high-speed canopy fatalities, he commented something about Darwin's Theory still works. JerryBaumchen This is a quote from Dan Poynter from 1971. And it holds true today.

"No team ever “owns” rights to an event; competition is a fact of life, it’s a fact in the air show business as it is in the skydiving business.” Of course competition is a fact of life. But competing against each other makes no sense. What USPA is doing is pitting their “elite athletes” against regular dues paying members. Many of those members have spent as much time effort developing their skills as any National Team has. And they did it on their own dime. You say if this USPA sponsored “Demo Team” secures a job previously done by a non USPA sponsored team you will graciously invite them along. Have you given any thought to what the sponsors may think of that? They think that they contracted for the “US Parachute Team” and end up with some of the slots filled with less than “elite athletes” “USPA routinely invests in, and seeds new ideas and projects it thinks will enhance the sport.” I am not aware of any programs in which USPA has invested in particularly providing an unsecured load of several thousand dollars. Not being aware of everything the BOD does I could easily be wrong. One thing I am pretty sure of USPA has never seeded a program that is in direct completion with several groups of its own members. Just a few question if you don’t mind. 1. Who is charge of the team? 2. Who will pick the members? 3. Who will be responsible for their training? 4. Who will be signing for this loan? 5. Who will be accountable for dispersal of the funds? It appears that this has the potential a real can of worms and it might be worthwhile revisiting the decision.
