So make it 3 million...after that you's take 90%? Ok everything over 3 million I'm going to buy color t.v.s and give it to my kids and still fuck your insane gov out of the money. There all done Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Come on Kallend your better than this Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

The "super rich" are WHO? Kallend says 10 million, what do you say? No I do not believe the estate tax should be raised. I ALREADY PAID my tax on my estate...why in Gods name should they tax it AGAIN after I pass? How about we raise the estate tax 10% BUT we tax everyone who isn't paying any income taxes at least 2%...run the numbers on that (if you can) and see what raises more money.

Your reply: So your answer to my question is to bring up a "decent estate tax" are you in fact agreeing that the "rich" already pay a fair amount of income tax? Or are you incapable of answering a simple question? Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

I know better than to ask....and most likely he won't answer BUT "dreamdancer" just how MUCH as a % of income should the rich pay. We will define "rich" as someone that makes $500,000 a year. It's a simple question. 40% ($200,0000) 50% ($250,000) 60% ($300,000) Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Is it time to seperate the discipline of swooping?

Great thanks for your input, so far your view seems to be standing alone. But again, really thanks. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little -
I would but I have to wash my hair....yeah that it wash may hair...otherwise I'd be there. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Is it time to seperate the discipline of swooping?
mirage62 replied to mirage62's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
I can see that happening at a smaller dz. Say 12 people are jumping 6 swoop 6 don't. That small of a dz...you take all 12 to altitude and they forget swooping JOKING If the dz won't allow a low load of the 6 swoopers and then go high you got me. But you SCREW everyone when you mix the two. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little -
Shit I want on the world record crw attempt, I got TWO crw jumps (which is like 250 swoop jumps) shit if Keenan can do it how hard can it be??? Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Good question. Bill's reply is correct though. And Good point. You are also correct it is in the name of safety. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little -

No, I'm not. I'm not suggesting that we cut anything in half. I'm suggesting that the time has come to say PICK what you are doing on THIS load. You want to swoop you get out early - or do a full swoop load. If you want to practise ff,rw,crw you do that on the appropiate load. You just can't do both on the same laod.

Thanks for the replies. It seems though that there aren't a lot of thoughts that relate to my basic question. I would really like more idea's but as it stands it seems like this is a good idea but one that people won't get behind PERHAPS because it raises swooping to its on sport. Bill said it best and I may still some of it for my sig line: It saddens me to think that after 4 deaths recently, many others in the past. The fact that the stats have been beat to death....over 700 post...nothing will change. To me as much as I hate it, this is the time for USPA to step in. I generally don't favor that kind of thing, but we as a group are not doing anything. Peer preassure ("pull the reserve, punch them in the nose") isn't working. Perhaps we have become to PC for that. For anyone that I have offended these last few weeks please accept my apology. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little -

Is your dz a large one? The FF first vrs the r.w. first is a different question but regardless if it is a larger dz, than your saying you achieve the results through communication only? Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little -

Is it time to seperate the discipline of swooping?

I’ve been posting the below on other forums but it dawn on me that this might be the place to get the feed back and understanding I am after. Let me make this clear: 1. I am NOT in favor nor would I support banning swooping. Period. 2. Education for all is part of the solution The mixing of HP canopies and larger slower canopies is not working. The incidents of the last few years seem to bare that out. Separate landing area’s are a great idea but we are still running into one another. Very experienced people to. So why can’t we separated the activities by swoopers getting out low or having the entire plane to their discipline? I realize that this would limit HP pilots free fall time. It would require more work in the HP community. For the truly serious HP pilot who is training I don’t think this would prove to be such and issue. To me the largest issue isn’t the very serious swooper but perhaps the person that wants it all. It isn’t “easy” but I believe we have reached a point where something has to change. So my complete solution is: If you want to do anything more than a standard 90 degree pattern (down wind, base, final) you get out on a low pass or you have the entire plane. The HP pilot who wish to go to attitude would be allowed to and would fly the standard pattern. (Education of others not to be S turning in the pattern would be important) I’m really hoping to get a education as to why this isn’t practical. The only problem I see with it is that it does take away the “right” for the HP pilot who is going to swoop to go to altitude with others of a different discipline.

+1 Hence Seperate Loads or get out LOW. "DocPop" may be better that Roger Nelson, Danny Page ect,ect. I'm not being a smart ass. He may be. HE should have the chance to fly what he wants WITH people who accept what he is doing. The key is to put the group in the air that wants to do what they are doing. I believe they will self regulate better and it would be easier. We DON'T HAVE TO MIX the groups. It's easy and it will work. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

+1 It is down right scarey to see some of the coaches. Some can barely fall flat and stable....others fly terrible patterns. Can someone with

Condolence thread for Danny Page and Bob Holler

It makes me sad to think what Bob would think of the sad, sad, sad lack of progress we have made on the problem that took his life. Bob wouldn't be pleased Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little -

Hey guys, I'm going to try and get an answer from tjhe HP SERIOUS pilots. I am not trying to be a smart ass...ban swooping....or cancel christmas here. Why not just agree that HP pilots get there on load- all HP pilots on the load - they all get out low? I realize that it would require a bit of work, and may cause the HP pilots to make a choice but it would seem to fix THIS part of the problem. Is it nothing more than the HP group wants both at any expense? To me the HP pilots need to be treated like the special group they are. (I mean that honestly) with special needs.
