  7. Being a "Salesman" I understand what your talking about Katee. The rest of you guys that replied, it isn't about touchy feel good shit it is about caring about your customer. I wouldn't do buisness with them again either Katee. Find someone that values your buisness. For those that might want to flame go get a Sales Job. You'll go hungry in a week if you are not treating each and every customer as if they are your only one. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  9. I knew I could count on you Ron I was about to post the same thing. It isn't the procedure that is the problem it is the application. I have one hand on each handle. Easier to remain stable (my opinion). I Pull from the bottom out (Peel/Punch) for me that has always been the natural way to do it, but if it is not second nature to you and you can't get the hang of it USE TWO HANDS. Having a planet that is fast approching you is not the time to be finding out your application of the procedure you chose isn't gonna work I am glad you lived and learned.

  10. Dear Mr. Lee, Just wanted to thank you for your compassion in writing this article, it was refreshing in this time of sadness. Very seldom do we in this small community of skydivers see an article on a fatality that hasn’t been sensationalized. You have earned my respect. Thank You, 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. Everything we do should have a greater purpose.
  11. When I heard monday about the Fatallity I had a terrible feeling I would know who it was when I got back from the DZ and got on here. Never in a million years did I think it would be Shannon. I only met Shannon once at the Holiday Boogie but I still have the mental imagie of her in my memory. No words I have will do Justice to what she meant to those who only knew her from dz.com and I would never even try to say I understand what those who knew her are going through. I do know she touch many lives so I will share the words of someone that I never knew while she was alive but her words have changed my life. This is life lesson is the one I thought of first when I read Shannon Left us Life Lesson Number 5 TOUCH AS MANY LIVES AS YOU CAN Every time you meet someone new, you leave a little bit of yourself with them. They are affected by you. The more people you meet, the more complete both their and your lives are because of how you have been affected by each other. Think of the possibilities. Shannon you touched my life.BSBD Here is the complete list. TEN LIFE LESSONS Life Lesson Number 10 DEAL WITH LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME Sometimes when life gets crazy we feel like we'll never sort everything out. But if we just deal with everything one day and instance at a time, life just has a way or working through things. It also makes life's circumstances a little less overwhelming. Life Lesson Number 9 TURN EVERY LIFE EXPERIENCE INTO A LEARNING EXPERIENCE The best way I have found to cope with hard times more easily is to become knowledgeable about what is going on and try to find a meaning to everything that happens. Trust me, there is always one there. Life Lesson Number 8 ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE POSITIVE No matter how bad life can get, there is always a positive to be found. If you focus on the positive aspects of life, the hard times are easier to get through. The power of positive thinking is amazing and it works. Life Lesson Number 7 TRY TO DO AT LEAST ONE NEW THING EVERY DAY Much too often, people get into a routine of doing the same thing every day and their lives get boring. The new thing doesn't have to be big. It can be something really small like taking a different route to work or trying a new kind of food. Make a wish list for yourself of new stuff you want to try. Some things can be small and others, big. Plan on completing one of those things each day and by the end of every day your life will be that much more full. Life Lesson Number 6 BE TRUE TO YOURSELF No matter what happens in your life if you are true to yourself and confident about who you are, you can overcome anything. Always stick to who you are and don't worry if people are going to accept you or not. If you are confident with yourself, it will show and the people who really matter will accept you for who you are, not for who you are not. Life Lesson Number 5 TOUCH AS MANY LIVES AS YOU CAN Every time you meet someone new, you leave a little bit of yourself with them. They are affected by you. The more people you meet, the more complete both their and your lives are because of how you have been affected by each other. Think of the possibilities. Life Lesson Number 4 ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS Although the big accomplishments in life are important, sometimes it's the little things in life that are more enjoyable. The conversations with you best friend in the middle of the night, or a quiet moment somewhere peaceful where you were just able to think, can add up to be much more important and memorable than any big thing. Life Lesson Number 3 DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF Many times in life, people begin getting concerned with petty things. What people forget is that in the long run, it doesn't matter what "he said" or what "she did." It's not worth your time to get worked up about anything small or petty. Life Lesson Number 2 HOLD ON TO YOUR FRIENDS No matter what happens in your life, good or bad, your friends will be there for you. Whether it is a pat on the back or a shoulder to cry on that you need, your friends are there for you always. Life Lesson Number 1 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. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. We should never throw any opportunities away. These life lessons were written by Kimberly Joy Costa, a 19-year old who passed away on July 24,2000 after her battle with leukemia.

  13. Ok yeah on a military Rig but do you have a pic of one for a student rig? Do DZ's use military rigs as student rigs? I am just asking so don't flame or be a smart ass The other thread the guy said he was a student and his was on his chest. It didn't sound right and was asking seperate fromt that thread(which BillVon sorta answered) MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  14. What sort of set up would this be? I haven't been in the sport long but don't think I have ever seen a rip cord on someones chest. Anyone got a pic of something like that?

  15. Bad form brother. Personal Attacks get you banned :( He was trying to help ya believe it or not. As for Hard Deck your instructor most likely called it your decision altitude not your hard deck Decision Altitude/Hard Deck is the Altitude you decide if your landing what you have over your head or going to plan B.

  16. I always love to read these threads. I know how to pack but ask me how many times I have packed a parachute I have jumped. Every person who has a License should abolutly know HOW but to call someone who doesn't pack "Not a real jumper" is Bull Shit. Not sure if it is jealously or ego from you folks that slam those who don't pack. Is it that you think your soooo much better then because you do it yourself or are you jealous that someone has budgeted the money to pay a packer into their jumping? As for not being able to jump because it is to busy for a packer to get to your gear..well if your tipping your packer well you will get priority (right after the tandems cuz they always have priority) MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  17. Depends on the jump. I love head down exits back flying exits cannon ball exits corkscrew exits stand exits gainer exits eyes closed exits. Try them all. Your jumping out of a plane doesn't matter how you get out unless you are doing RW/Free Fly with others. Just get out and have FUN! Disclaimer! Some of the exits you should talk to the LO and others on the plane before doing them. You don't want to track/back track with freefliers coming out after you 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.

  18. You should first ask your DZO what he thinks of what your planning to do with his plane. I think that will answer all your questions and end it there but if by some chance he has the "Here hold my beer and watch this" attitude then make sure you get lots and lots of Video MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  20. You left out ebay. Put them up in 2-3Year Bundles Start them cheap (start them at 2.99) with a fair shipping and handling rate. Get the weights go to usps.com and figure out the price to ship them from CA to Florida. that would give you a "Fair" Shipping Charge then add 5-10 Handling for boxing,taping,peanuts/bubblewrap and taking to the post office. They will end up in a good home :) 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.

  21. So not true. At that point they are not thinking about others. Oh? Which would you prefer some sad suicide note leaving everyone thinking they could have done something to stop it and spend the rest of their lives questioning everything they did/didn't do or grieve at what they only know to be a tragic accident. Ron I respect your opinions. You one of the few people I pay attention to when they post about jumping. I see where your coming from and your right going out period is selfish but if one could easy the pain of ones loved ones after they have made up there minds, it is by far a better choice from my perspective. And that would be the last selfhless act amongst a sea of selfishness........ MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  22. Where did you get that information from?? The guy in Scotland went to another dropzone away from his home dz and took his rig off in front of his mate while in freefall. (so i heard) It seems you are pressuming that some of the incidents in this sport are suicides covered up. Are there any you are reffering to? I am not reffering to anything. A skydiver (not someone wanting to make someone else feel bad) who just had enough and wanted one last jump would go out in the least upsetting ways to those he cared about. Here is the scenario. Death at reserve line stretch would be questioned as to what happened, hard pull,baglock,lost altitude awarness etc and some may wonder about suicide but I tried to deploy the reserve so you wouldn't really give it much credence now would you?
