The switch flipped for my 6 year :) Flying on his own!
catfishhunter replied to catfishhunter's topic in The Bonfire
He has been in the tunnel since he was 3 :) has a bunch of time but it is spread out over a couple times a year. I think his muscles are finally getting strong enough to hold stable, that and he wants to fly on his head so bad that he is really paying attention to the instructors and Devin is one of his favorites but his most favorite who he wants to be like (Kai Kai) is coming back from Dubai and he wants to be ready for Kai Kai to teach him to fly on his head. yeah he thinks he will be done with back flying and sit flying in the next month LOL MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

Really? To long? In your opinion.....I'm sure they would love for you to come in and offer opinions on how to run their company so they can be more efficient..By the way which company do you own and what do you manufacture adn maintain so we can see where your "to long" opinion generates from.

My newest carry is the Springfield EMP in 9mm was going to get the 40 but the 9 was so much lighter. I love this weapon dead nuts at 10 yards and tight groups even out to 25 and you can't. Eat the 1911 platform. I thought I loved my xd 40 sub compact but it has nothing on the EMP. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

USPA Poll on AFF Instructor Requirement
catfishhunter replied to catfishhunter's topic in Safety and Training
USPA Poll on AFF Instructor Requirement The USPA Board is soliciting comments from the membership regarding the acceptance of some wind tunnel time in place of some freefall time for the USPA Accelerated Freefall Instructor rating. A proposal was presented at the 2012 Winter Board meeting to change the current requirements for the AFFI rating. Presently, USPA requires instructor candidates to have completed at least six hours of freefall time to earn the rating. The change proposed would allow instructor candidates to substitute wind tunnel time for up to two hours of the required freefall time. (All other AFFI requirements would remain, e.g. C license, have held a rating for at least 12 months or have at least 500 jumps, etc.) Please take a minute to complete this online poll so that membership input can help guide the Board’s decision regarding this proposal. Here is my response... The tunnel does not replicate the seriousness of freefall. Anyone call fly safely in a tunnel if something goes wrong you can just get out. You cannot do that in freefall. I do not agree with changing anything or putting anyone at risk to satisify a few cry babies. if they want to teach tunnel then they should teach tunnel. If they want to teach skydiving then they should go jump! MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

get a few jumps on the 260's you been jumping on AFF then look for a rig. I have one i am thinking of selling and a 230 is a tight fit. It likes the 190 I have it in right now way better. I am 6'2" 260+ out the door. I jumped a Lazer 290 in a really old Javelin for close to 300 jumps before buying a used 230 sabre then finally bought this rig I am thinking of selling (wings) at around 400 jumps for $1800 without a main. If your still jumping in a 100 jumps or so I might have anothe rig that will take a 230 for sale as well. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

I only read a couple of replies but let me put it this way. If your sister OD's and you did nothing how will you feel? Heroin isn't a bad decision it is a serious physical addiction that won't just go away. Jails, institutions or death unless she choose recovery and it doesn't sound like she is ready for recovery. I sent my brother to jail and I'll do it again in a heart beat. He is now living with us and has 7 months clean and is working a program every day. He wasn't going to stop so I sent him where at least I knew he wasn't going to be found dead with a needle in his arm. You make a choice dead sister,mother daughter or live locked up mother sister daughter you can all visit and talk to instead of taking flowers to once a year.

NZ Aerosports lost my canopy, doesn't care about it
catfishhunter replied to javiaven's topic in Gear and Rigging
Don't feel sorry. As someone that ships hundreds of packages a month I can assure you it takes 1 phone call to fix soemthing like this but it should have happened immediatly. I am surprised the people that received your package haven't sent it back to fed-ex. Usually if an address is in your system it is a previous customer.

catfishhunter replied to javiaven's topic in Gear and Rigging
Sorry to hear about your bad luck. It should have taken 5 minutes to fix. All they needed/need to do is request fed-ex to pick up the package and re-deliver it to the correct address. They would have spent more time figuring out to just say "agent" over and over to by pass the automation and get to a human then it would have taken to fix I.

and you are wrong. The manufactuer absolutly puts a value on the GC and writes it off.

Should I take a skydiving course?
catfishhunter replied to gchain's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The headache could very well be a problem and you should talk to a DOCTOR about whether you plan jump or not. Could be a simple inner ear issue or it could be much worse but i'd get checked out by a DOCTOR if it was me. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

I would think if someone attacked your integrity Ron you wouldn't need to say much as lots of folks would be defending you even folks that disagree with you. I personally would never ever have let something like this get out of hand. My word is the only thing I truly own in this word and is most valuable asset no way would I let something like this have people questioning it. P.S. I don't send anything without payment or to a broker. My word and reputation should be enough not because I'm special but because I can easily be vetted. I also wouldn't buy from someone that couldn't be vetted and am happy to pay more from someone I know then save a buck gambling on the unknown.

I'm to old to be a test jumper so I choose cypress as the aad's in my rigs. Vigil has been an engineering on the fly product since it hit the market in my opinion.

The school counseler thinks my boy has oppositional defiance
catfishhunter replied to catfishhunter's topic in The Bonfire
Sounds like we have a lot in common. Why I am not overly concerned but there are things I wish my parents had taken notice of as I was/am the same way as my son. I think Life would have been a little easier with some direction and understanding instead of punishment which just taught me to be more careful with what I could get away with. As for Teachers (which was a HUGE thread drift) I think they have a hard job and for the most part they really love what they are doing or they wouldn't keep doing it. It is important for everyone (including them)to remember that they are only people and they are as fallible as the next.

Solid 6 hours of skiing for the two of hem today :) oh and I made the mistake of telling him he could make a tandem in south Africa when he kept saying it wasn't fair he had to be 18 to jump out of a plane. and now he won't stop asking to go there..lol MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.
