Hit a snag: FAA Class 3 medical clearance
Fast replied to mailin's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Don't give up. I was doing this IT rollout thing, and in one persons cubicle I saw this sign that was something like: "...Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” -C.C. ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

I agree. If we didn't live in a society that sued every time there was a single stich of incident then more people who are 16 would be able to jump if they were mentally prepared for it. It all boils down to a DZs ability to stay in business if someone jumping brain locks and dies. (or for whatever reason) If the laws made it easier for a parent to sign away almost every legal right that thier child has then that would do it too. However I think personally that its in the best interest of the individual that a parent can't sign away most rights. hmm... ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

Yeah, imagine that, it does. I could take a guess at who it is, but that just wouldn't be nice. Gonna ask him though ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Swooping is taking one last poke at the bear before escaping it's cave - davelepka

Or here is a really long answer, that will help you explain even more. Clicky! There is even an explanation of skydiving, which is not to bad (though short) ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

Never got the rollercoaster rush thing. Oh well, doesn't matter. Might have been fun once or twice. I can often be found speeding down a backraod trying to find hills that I can go over to get a 0 g feeling. Ya know, speaking of rollercoasters, I never really minded the acceleration feeling, I tended to hate the vibration and the fact that I swear I am gonna smack my head/feet on something. ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

I'm writing new Dropzone software

The ability to look at reports and print them for just about everything listed above that you have in there. There is some degree of recordkeeping required that I am sure your DZ is doing on paper at the moment, so they will probally want some print outs. Ability to print a jumper log for a particular jumper? ...Plane? ...Day? hmm, thats all I can think of. ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

No, Jim, that would be the COLD toe drag. And... you might find the swoop pond frozen to the bottom making a chow that much more painful . Frozen ground is not at all forgiving but I would love to try a no-flare downwinder on a ski hill that was covered in a couple feet of powder ... I never was any good at powder skiing - always kept sinking in - bet the chute would make for a real cool swoop Dave I jump near a ski hill, I bet it would be fun to come zipping along and just fly down the hill, doubt they have any hills steep enough though to fly the full length, but it would be fun if you could. ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

Best I can do is about 180 thousand of 20s. I worked IT in a bank, and every now and then the manager needed an observer for counting the cash. (I was a bonded employee because I was responsible for locking the building at the end of the day, so I got to go in the vault
