This thread would have been better if no one replied. I was going to reply but I'll do it later.

Shit, forgot about that one, I was so wrapped up in posting the "scary" tandem... Yup, thats happened to me too. It sounds like it, then when we got down she had the correct flushing around her face and chest (lower cut top) that I'm about 90% sure as well. Three times. Two told me, ones a for sure. A number of could be's. It DOES happen!

If they were wearing wingsuits and landed off the DZ its their fault for landing out if the group in front made it.

I said: I respectfully disagree. Respectfully disagree. With this: "Like I said bro, I meant in NO WAY to slam instructors, and I felt really bad about it when I accidentally did." I disagree it was an accident. I wasnt slamming you for what you said. Just pointing out I disagree and think its disingenuous at best. I think you were slamming TI's. I guess we'll just agree to disagree.

Like I said bro, I meant in NO WAY to slam instructors, and I felt really bad about it when I accidentally did. Sorry man, I honestly meant nothing towards you or any instructors. I know you guys worked your asses off for that, and you know much more about the sport than I do. I was just trying to make a point, and severely fucked up in making an example for it. I just re read the whole thread and I respectfully disagree. You made a specific slam on TI's and now you're backpedalling.JMHO

Sorry. I didnt read the whole thread. About my info and my experience........ Suffice to say: BTDT but dont ask me about freeflying.

Ya. As I recall the thing was two seperate events. Accuracy one day, then shootinjg the next.

And I train so that when I am confronted with a RABID BAT I can evade it effectively. Frankly, for the overwhelming majority of US Americans, the chances of either are pretty close to equal. Really. Not that violence doesn't happen, but it is publicized very effectively indeed. These things are possible. When was the last time you practiced a fire drill in your home? That's probably a lot more likely an event to happen. Wendy W. You cant have it both ways. Either the US is an extremely violent place with a "need for more gun control laws" or I am unlikely to be a victim of violent crime as you say and I dont need a gun to protect myself. Which is it? Is it a really violent place unlike Canada, or is it really safe and I will never need a gun?

Not a flame on you but here's a point. People like you who just want to do demos for fun wreck it for the pros. You would jump into the Superbowl for free right? I wouldnt. I think that jump is worth at least $1500 after expenses to me and my experience. Thats non refundable if I call off the jump for any reason. If you are willing to do that jump for free, how can a Pro possibly charge enough to cover insurance and make a buck? That goes all the way down list of demo jumps, from the Bowl games to the local mall opening.

TIP #7 Don't go too fast, but also don't be afraid to try anything new. If you have been able to handle your Sabre 170 for 100 jumps, and have managed to make it through some pretty weird landings, go ahead and try out a 150! But remember, you have to be confident enough to KNOW you can handle it. Just don't be afraid of it. The above is a quote from your website. In a section on "Tips for New Jumpers". While there is some merit to what you say it leaves out far too much info to be of any value. What if the guy already is overloading his 170 for his experience level. Say he has 150 jumps with a hundred on the 170 and weighs 220lbs. You dont mention wing loading at all in your advice. Wing loading is extremely important as is experience on the canopy and total jump numbers as well as a few other things. I guess thats how YOU got to your 150 so its OK for everyone else too. Sheesh. Let me try not to offend you but YOU best keep YOUR advice to yourself until YOU KNOW what you are talking about. Here's another gem from your site:"TIP #3 ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS do a gear check before every jump!!! It could save your life!! I have had things happen to me where a gear check possibly saved my life, such as once I had a broken closing loop and didn't know it until someone did a gear check on me and my main fell to the ground. Think of what would have happened if I jumped with that thing! Can you say "PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT"?? So remember, ALWAYS do a gear check before EVERY jump. It could save your or someone else's life." How did you possibly get that far with a CL THAT BAD? Your tip should have been "check your gear before you put it on, save yourself the embarrassment of looking like an idiot at the loading area"

May I post this on another board with credit to you? Great story.

you mean the bone that makes a permenant erection as a Warus penis(to be exact)? You knew that? Man, I am going to beat my brothers ass if he took it. I am so pissed.

You only lost a garden hose worth what? 20 bucks? If I get the chair that thing goes with I'll be rich! Man I am so pissed! I hid at my neighbours today and snuck in his garage when he pulled in. It wasnt in there. Now I think my brother took it! If he did, I am so going to beat his ass! Man I am so pissed!

Sorry for not introducing myself but I am so pissed! I am Fred. I am going to catch my neighbour today. I have a plan to get my goulami back!

You guys just dont understand! I bought this thing at an auction and its real! If I can find the chair it goes with it can be worth about 250,000 dollars! I am so pissed!

Look. I bought the thing at an auction and hid it in my garage. The only people who could have taken it are my brother or my neighbour. I am so pissed!

Its NOT A FISH! It goes on a chair!

I am going to wait outside his garage tomorrow and when drives his car in I will slip in behind and check for my goulami! Man I am pissed!

You guys just dont understand! I am so pissed! My goulami is missing! If I can find the chair it goes with I will strike it rich. There are only five or six in the world. If you have the chair its worth big bucks.

I dont where he took it! I got that gourami at an auction. It could be worth tons.

It goes on the back of a chair. Its worth a lot of money! I am so pissed!

He stole my goulami! If I catch him, he's gonna get it. Do you have any idea what a goulami is worth?

He just is.

The result was a lot of innocent people being killed. This was necessary. WTF?
