No, you just implied it.

While the kids were watching the WWE, where were the parents? The parents let them watch this crap and then bitch about the content later? Sounds familiar.

Pathetic attempt as usual.

Wouldn't that be because they are two different animals? Lady Astra and G4 do even have the same name other than Mirage.

What kind of skydives are you doing?

Two people does not make for a complete picture of the training the sport provides. Did you take the opportunity to teach these jumpers or just berate them at a later time when they were not present? That is funny. and ridiculous.

Are you a robot or do you have an instrument panel for flying a canopy? Speed, trim and angle is subjective under a canopy. You do not need speed and you suppose to fly by your senses. What the hell kind of response is that? I feel like you wasted too much time typing that FYI. Hey, +1 to your post count. If you read most of his reply's, you would understand. He doesn't usually give advice, just smart ass answers to inflate his ego and increase his post numbers.

What other bit? I'm not saying there is a right and a wrong way. I'm just saying that penetrating the cloud ends your flight so why not learn to fly so that you don't. Or get an instrument rating. Instrument rating for skydivers? USPA must have just recently added that.

When are you going to tell us the joke? You may want to follow your own advice.

Good come back Bill. Play the ball, not the player. 1. From the OP: "For all you poll lovers and billvon". So the thread started with a personal call-out. And of course the guy being called out did go on to make an actual comment about the content of the post, not just make a jab at the title. Oh wait, no he didn't. Nice try at justifying it though.

Nothing wrong with your question. Some people just like to give wise ass arrogant answers to make themselves feel superior and inflate their ego even more.

It seems that a lot of the "old timers" like to make this generalization. It may be true to some extent but it is not so cut and dry as you seem to want to make it. I have heard many stories from older skydivers and the stupid shit they did when they started that went against the advice of other more experienced people at the time. Just read the thread "scary stories from the old days". In a recent thread, a well known and very experienced skydiver made this statement. "I count 5 fatalities this year already related to canopy/winds/landing. Are we ever gonna learn anything?". This same person, after 20 years of skydiving, had a horrendous landing accident that left him very badly injured. I guess he didn't listen to the advice of others. (/sarcasm) I don't think it is as easy as saying "there are more stupid people today" or "people don't listen to advice today like they did than 30 years ago". Technology has just made it easier to know about these people and as you get older your perception changes.

You seem to be the one yelling the loudest in this thread Court TV doesn't count. I feel sorry for the people you work around. It's never fun being around the know it all that can't have a conversation without trying to let everyone know how smart he (thinks) is.

I don't think you understand evolution very well if you believe this to be true. Modern society and medicine has almost completely nullified natural selection and most mutations. Like I said.

LOL

LOL - that never gets old! Such a prodigy really should be part of Bill Gates' billionaire club. With all that studying and expertise you would think he is a lawyer or working in the legal field in some capacity. Not even close though.

Who said I am done arguing my point? You did.

Haven't you said 3 or 4 times that you were done with this thread? If you can't argue your point to a winning conclusion, at least keep your word about not posting anymore.

Seen HERE If you read all of her previous post about why she did the tandems and that she has wanted to do AFF from day one, you may change your mind. But I doubt it.

With every post you make, you prove that your sig line disclaimer is true.

Got a well paying job, paid off the mortgage, THEN I started on the expensive pastimes. But you started jumping when you were OLD. Some people like to have fun when they are young.
