Performance Designs Bad Attitude
binkster replied to binkster's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
im not bashing the company. I did call them the corporate conglomerate. I do know alot of people who dont like the big corporate conglomerate and who agree with me its like nike or starbucks. That was my point. -

whether that is true or not should not be basis for denying a customer a product. It wasnt experience. -

no reason to get even just thought that maybe he could be alot more professional towards a potoential customer and maybe he will now towards someone else and they wont have to get woken up at 6 to be yelled at for tryin to speed up a slow process. -

i never was trying to ruin his reputation just dont think he was the slightest bit professional and should reexamine his tactics when dealing with a customer. He was beyond rude calling me dude and bing completely disrespectful. Since he works at PD you would think they might want to know about his actions towards a potential customer. -

not true. I was approved and then Justin the marketing director called me at 6 in the morning to yell at me so I told him off and hung up and here we are now. He didnt like the overtone of my emails after i was approved. Istill have the emails of approval if anyone wants to see. -

i have coaching with team xaos members and was approved for the canopy by kim from Pd after she checked my stats. Then justin got mad cause i was a little impatient and denied me. I told him he sucked. He we are. Who cares. I told him he was very unprofessional and was gonna put this on dropzone and he laughed so here it is. He kept telling me of his untarnished reputation. -

I guess Jonathan Tagle won the world cup of canopy piloting after 4 years of skyidiving by not downsizing and pushing the envelope. Im sorry but if I want to go faster I will. It is my choice. I am not being stupid dude. I am getting canopy coaching and my coaches ok'd me for that canopy. Sorry you are reluctant to understand that it really is my choice.Quote -

I have the accepted email from kim but you called me at 6 in the mornin. She checked the criteria and got approval. You seem to have been misinformed. I am going icarus regardless. And I still think that you were completely unprofessional. I shouldnt technically blame PD themselves. But you do work there. -

kim was fine she went through the same process with me and i got approval but justin called me at 6 in the morning to complain about me sayin i was gonna get an icarus anyway. He needs to be way more professional. -

I have spent several weeks tryin to get a Demo canopy from PD and they have run me in circles. They are the biggest dealer with the worst record of satisfaction. No wonder no one likes them. Maybe they have a decent product but who wants to use a product that is made by a company with no regard to an individuals needs. Tryin to deal with Pd is like tryin to deal with a corporate lawyer. Only that you dont even have a chance at a fair deal. -

Anyone jump Ryan Field in Tucson in 60's or 70's?
binkster replied to tcmidge's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
hey my dad jumped there in early 60's. Herb Eskelson I will ask him what he knows -
I took an Aff class with the best instruction I could get. Now they are my family. I couldnt live without this place. Everyone that is there is totally helpful knowledgeable and fun. When the weather is Bad expect Andy to be flying his powered parachute with remote controlled xaos 30 something square foot parachute or paintball or softball(sponsored team) or Margarita night. After jumpin of course on Sundays. I love these people.
