  1. There are several DZ's that have the License in a week program, some closer to home for you too. The advantage to a program like that is that your immersed in skydiving all day for the 7 or so days it takes to get your license. When going back and forth each weekend or every other week you may have to spend more time refreshing from the last jump. The disadvantage is that you have to have nice weather the whole time. Your not wrong either way. I work in Nashville and can help steer you to a good program if you want, just PM me. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  2. I said horseshit, not bullshit. And it's spelled "you're." . . . and you responded this way because you couldn't find any way to answer the thread - If you understood the post, which you obviously did, why not simply reply to the challenge not the grammar and spelling? OH - I'm sorry, I see now that you weren't capable. My bad. What a ridiculous response. The OP is bogus, the evidence has been supplied, and yet you and those of your ilk still try to defend the lie. Sadly this chain of BS is making its way through other web sites again as well. SO much for 2011 being different. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  3. http://www.skyleague.com/pages/news/showArticles.php?story=2069 A new article with an update since Mark couldn't break out of training. But it is just another AS reunion from a different AS era! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  4. Or how the addition of Josh or removal of Hart factors in. I'd say that is a bigger factor than addy. Again, the three of them where never on the Team at the same time, two at a time, yes. This current AS Team will keep the AS legacy going. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  5. ACL? That's two weeks later and an hour away. What would that have to do with it? ACL = Allowable Cargo Load Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  6. There is a couple on Fort Campbell, but other than that no others in the area now. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  7. But never all three at the same time. Niklas was a Team Mate to both Thomas and Kirkby, but those two basically swapped from AS to FTX over that time period. Each of them is a powerful and smooth skydiver who makes any Team they are on better. All three together should just continue the AS legacy. Plus, lets not forget they have a great skydiver in that fourth slot as well. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  8. Anvil Brothers moving? hmmm I am thinking it is an ACL issue. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  9. Since I use my name in my user/screen name, no hiding needed. I am an Asshole, certified, ask around. I have said similar words in my post to peoples face sand would tell you the same if the situation applied (in this case it does not). I take my signature line very seriously. Again ask around.

  10. It would PROBABLY work fine IF; It fits snug enough not to become a "canopy" on your head. (The Chin strap/ear cover design leads me to believe the chinstrap would have to be extremely tight, near painful to do this) The Chin Strap buckle is strong enough to take the pressure of free fall speeds acting on it. All the padding components are assembled in a way that they wont blow out. Remember this helmet is designed for slow speeds and heavy blunt force trauma, not for high speeds. This helmet is not designed with low drag in mind either. How ever, like the PRO tech style helmets it may work just fine for years! Just have a KNOWLEDGEABLE Rigger/Instructor look it over.

  11. that is a bunch of garbage that has been lost in translation BINGO! So now you know your opinion was formed on wrong information and it can now be corrected. It is the Extremists you should focus your anger on not ALL Muslims. Oh and which service where you going to join so you could start "walking the walk" instead of just "talking the talk"? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  12. What if your Skydiving I love me wall is in the garage? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  13. http://www.meforum.org/717/assessing-english-translations-of-the-quran Maybe this will help you. http://islam.about.com/od/commonmisconceptions/tp/myths.htm This one is a little clearer and has easier to follow links.

  14. Mine works because brick houses are common and have no significance of terrorism. You argument doesn't work because in the koran it specifically says to exterminate the none believers Prove that Actually your argument is a RW Zealut talking point with a mis-translation at its core. So it still fails, but since you have not gone forth and done any thing about your "Outrage", other than bitch here, you don't understand. Have you actually studied your "enemy"? Read the actual Koran, not a bunch of out of context quotes? Ignored the Extremist's (Muslim and Christian) and actually listened to a peace loving Imam? I will gather; No. Remember your comment was "Dune Coon". But you aren't a terrorist cause you live in a brick house, it would be because your ill informed. Your arguing from a position of ignorance, not authority. Go get the experience to give you the authority. Again I ask; Are you going to a recruiter in the AM or shall I have them come bye and pick you up. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  15. I live in a brick house, does that make me a terrorist? No more than the Muslim down the street. The Concrete and Brick line was in counter to your "dune" comment. Is that the only thing your wanting to discuss now? Your outraged, remember, can I send a recruiter by or are you heading to one tomorrow in the AM? They open at 0800 (8AM). Matt Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  16. That doesn't change you being a racist and bigot. Matt so its ok for them to kill my fellow americans?? Wow you are no better then they(terrorists) are Nice swing and a miss. But your bigoted point of view has clouded your vision. Yes, the hijackers where Muslim, but they where Extremists, they also (mostly) came from Saudi Arabia and from Concrete and brick homes. Your generalization and racist comment shows your no better than they are. If you really where outraged that those 19 Extremists killed your fellow Americans, you should have raised your hand hand and joined me on the front lines. To Billvon; my apologies for causing you to have to issue a warning. You know it is not like me to break discipline and speak like that. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  17. Do you think you can ignore right after opening and not "Geek the Camera"? That moment in time you need to be doing a bit of air space clearing and Canopy Controlability checking. Wait till you have 200 jumps, since your in the US. Build up your over all skills then add this to your kit bag of stuff. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  18. Cross through 4750 jumps and get as close to 5000 as I can. Run 6 Ratings Courses Do no less than 10 Demo's 4-way at Nationals, if I can get a Team organized. Jump at two more DZ's this year than the usual two, expand my horizons. Continue to speak out and stop people from doing stupid shit that may hurt them and others. Try and get more DZ's to have "Canopy Cop's" at Boogies and in general. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  19. Facts are facts. I will take the warning as it is what they are charged with doing, but I also know some will agree. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  21. Is a suicide bomb considered jewelry or clothing? Jewelry. Jewelry is an accessory, like a vest-bomb. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  23. Like all the others. Congrats on your Daughter. Sorry about the Split and House sale for a loss. Hit the road and go from skydiver house to skydiver house across the country. We got all sorts of whine here for your stop. Red, White, Bagged, Boxed, bottles, screw on and cork type some with thumb holes! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  24. Then I would go with Bev in your case and I am sure you will get both items for less than 700 and they will be "cute", good lookin' and last. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
