What Should I Know About a Cross Country?
slug replied to JENNR8R's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I've never heard that and I've done cross-countries at several large boogies where the jumps are well-organized with safety briefings from folks that are much more experienced than I am ... did you ask them why it was going to "mess everyone else up"? We watched the folks at LP gear up for the sunset cross contry. from what we saw a lot of people unhooked their RSl and attached it to the cutaway cable housing. to keep it ot of the way. The other thing we noticed that a lot of folks undid their riser covers while waiting to board the acft. We could guess why but you should ask them. Live and dive? tall man? amazon? etc. R.I.P. -
But will it kill the smell Excuse me mask the objectionable odor Warning do not try this in the nude If you do we want pics while your recovering being treated in the hospital. Dr asks: How did this happen? sit on the stove? R.I.P.

Sorry but i have to agree with amazon again except the problem isn't just with the right or left. It's with the congress and the career civil servant mamagement bean counter types that work for the VA. everyone can see a injury like a amputee, and they recieve the excellent treatment that they deserve. The photo ops are just a PR thing for the folks back home more than the vets. TBI's? can't see it does it realy exist or do the vets just get told to suck it up untill they get their bekk wrong again, and again. The marines studying improving their brain buckets after the army already improved theirs is another example not politic's just REMF's. PTSD? Can't see but the divorce rate among returning vets is up for various reasons.Time will tell how many vets with PTSD end up on the streets. Remember Agent orange it took the VA and the dems and republicans 25 yr's to acknowledge thee was a problem from "crop dusting" in VN with agent orange contaminated with 2378 TCCD (dioxin) If/when the VA and congress stop taking care of our injured vets I hope we can put politic's aside and bitch to who ever is in office loud and clear so they will stop the tax cuts and take care of our vets the way they deserve to be treated. regardless of the type of injury. R.I.P.

New Paracommander owner!...What do you think?

Hi A In My humble opinion that OD PC was kept in premo condition. Old in years but like new new in condition. If your going to jump it again in that same container Consider having someone sewing in some wider extensions. Closing that container was way to hard. R.I.P. -
Wow! And it's not even Christmas yet! It's a freaking DOUBLE Miracle!!! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!! Wonder what would happen if we all touched the TV screen the next time thet show the clip. Kudo's for the guy getting back in the air. If Pat R gave him the extra drive to get back in the saddle who are we to judge. Now i got my damn fingeprints on the TV screen

Refused tandem because of waiver
slug replied to skinnyshrek's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I had that very conversation with someone this weekend about Dublin registration. . No way print and sign at home Read at home so they don't have to drive for hr's and then get hit with the surprise waiver. IMO the only way it can work make sure no one can hack your PDF file on websight and then they have to sign a identical copy of your printed waiver (maybe a Numbered copy so no switchee) in front of the nice manifest lady. There's lots of smart folks in the industry We have confidence that you'll come up with a bullet resistent solution. -
Can a mod determine who gets the offical honor of posting # 10,000 in this forum. It almost looks like a photo finish from the unoffical time stamp. Historians, bean counters etc need to know

Dude You don't need to try. Your a natural with a little xtra bling bling R.I.P.

Hi Pee Z We sent you a PM to your question in spite of the fact that it was out of line. Whats the problem didn't like the response that we were at LP boogie a couple of weeks ago R.I.P.

Hi LeKstrom 10K. If your a DZO who has "TM's drooling on their passengers while falling asleep, and the package says the TM's breath could melt paint". Than you have a lot more problems at your Dz than people cutting gas on the climb to altitude I sure hope you can remember when you did your 10K formation jumps that you didn't have tandems passengers. What do you do at your DZ If the the tandem passenger cuts some gas on the ride to alt? Make them exit at 7K tell them that shit isn't permited at your DZ and tell them and their friends to never come back. If this is yourattempt at a troll it was kind of shitty but really funny and provided some excelent entertainmant. BTW if Jack Gregory your chief pilot is the same guy who started jumping in columbia Missouri can you direct him to this thread, I'm guesing he's got some very farting stories from his international load orgainizing days. R.I.P.

If you gotta ask the question then maybe he's not a real ASS Hole. R.I.P.

Agreed sort of Except the goose that is laying the golden egg is still alive and well. Think Tandem & AFF. Thats all the DZO's and the "Pros's need. "Giving back to the sport" dates back to at least the 60's not the 90's. No offence to the DZO's or the worker bee's they have to go where the money is . As long as the DZO's can have worker beee's and worker bee wanna bee's and the super $$$$ there will be fun jumping. eventually all the real skydivers will be sitting home showing everyone the video of their skydive (their 1 one tandem). And the goose with their golden egg will continue to line up for their One skydive and video. Attendence at boogies is dropping off for fun jumpers but the goose with the golden egg is still attending the boogie and the industry is still happy $$$$. A successful boogie used to be counted by # of plane loads. Now it's counted by number of tandems and video. Follow the $$$$. Fun jumpers are tolerated at boogies for the atmosphere they provide to the Geese. Not bitching at the DZ, just the way i see it. Don't wanna believe it? Lets see what happens in another 10 yr's. I hope I'm wrong again. R.I.P.

Say What Well I should hope not. Imagine coming off the LZ and getting struck inthe head with a wand, wielded by an angry little white woman. It just wouldn't be right I tell you! After all those PM's now i find out that BB is a women I just thought BB was a good looking fairy. BTW nothng wrong with being a good looking fairy guy or gal. I'm so confused R.I.P.
