  1. Yes, I do. (sorry, I didn't answer the first time). Top-notch facility, personnel, vibes, staff and school. Here's what others have to say... http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/dropzone/review.cgi?ID=11 This site has everything, huh? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. A series of great articles addressing your questions for your review... http://www.dropzone.com/safety/Learn_to_Skydive/index.shtml Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  3. You're moving to Lhasa? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  4. Aren't they a hybrid? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  5. Repeating myself: You better find the oldest, crustiest, hardcore, live-on the DZ in a an old leaky RV, perhaps ex-airborne, back-in-the-day round jumper and learn how to do real PLFs on all sides from about a 6-8 foot platform... not that twice bunny hop land on the pussy pad golf clap shit they teach today. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  6. Then, there's the obvious - start a dropzone there. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  7. Is there room for "Theistic Evolutionists" in these books? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  8. Push yourself away from the computer; climb in the car and go to the DZ and/or his/her house. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  9. Excellent tips!! May have to re-think my position on the BB. Any tips for me to stop spinning the ball with my tongue while walking thru airports? Hey. it's Bonfire - had to do the cursory innuendo.. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    What Wendy said. Stop hugging the ball. See if someone can teach you to fly in the mantis and slightly de-arch to slow yourself down first and your suit "may" be alright. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  11. I haven't liked them since they switched from the thumb wheel to the clit. Might as well go with the iPhone Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  12. Joe Pesci is always right. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  13. Like this... http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2793991;search_string=new%20army%20parachute;#2793991 Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  14. Just over 90 days. Am I banned? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  15. My primary message was: "In this particular instance, to this particular individual, we have a situation where someone with 84 jumps is learning 80's shit. My point was to go to a large turbine DZ for the exposure to a sundry of disciplines, methods, advanced flying techniques, exits, etc. and that turbine DZ will exponentially increase the learning curve. Plus, it prepares them to be safer at a boogie in the future." And, I'll back off the "any" and say, "a greater percentage." Fixed it.

  16. My recommendation to remove all concerns is to go directly to the source... http://www.coltsmfg.com/cmci/custserv.asp Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  17. The complete statement was; "Turbine [DZ] - as in whole experience of exposure to the entire experience and opportunities for advancement... There are pros and cons to both a Turbine and a Cessna DZ. By exposure, let's be honest... at a single Cessna DZ, one cannot accumulate the number of quality jumps in as short a period of time (how many skydivers have the "opportunity" to make 500 jumps in a year at a Cessna DZ), the exposure to multiple disciplines in a single weekend, advanced flying techniques (as in this case of "hugging the ball" ), etc. At a turbine DZ, one can get coaching in a specific area and get ten jumps practicing what they learned in a single day, whereas, at a Cessna DZ, they may get a couple of coach jumps, have to wait for the student load or two or three, maybe get a sunset hop n pop, etc. In this particular instance, to this particular individual, we have a situation where someone with 84 jumps is learning 80's shit. My point was to go to a large turbine DZ for the exposure to a sundry of disciplines, methods, advanced flying techniques, exits, etc. and that turbine DZ will exponentially increase the learning curve. Plus, it prepares them to be safer at a boogie in the future. I'll challenge anyone to compare any a sampling of skydivers with 84 jumps from a Cessna DZ to any a similar number of skydivers with 84 jumps at a turbine DZ and the skillset will be higher at the turbine DZ. I used to have a Cessna DZ and would encourage those with less than a 100 jumps to go to turbine DZ's. Go, learn, come back, share.

  19. "For the past 30 minutes, I've been showing my wife how to handle a gun." Good job, Bubba. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  20. I have been indirectly involved in politics for some time and is why I choose the path of centrist. There's good on both sides and there's bad on both sides. There's conservative democrats, liberal republicans, northern democrats and republicans that are different than southern or even eastern vs. western democrats and republicans. We seem to have allowed the media to influence with sensationalist titles leading with party categories rather than individual deeds. My point was both primary parties and the other parties all have their good and bad. As you and I have both served, we know that the "content of one's character" is not based on political affiliation, color, creed, religion... but, their ability to shoot straight and do they have our back. Our Representatives are supposed to have our backs, to be our voice, to serve our communities... and somewhere along the line; some of them forgot that and began serving themselves.

  21. Exposure to more and advanced methods that will prove more successful than the current methods learned. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  22. "They are all thieves." No matter which label they wear. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  23. Well, it depends on how well they explain their absence for a year. I thought we had a relationship, man. I thought you loved me. You just leave, don't write, don't call. Was I supposed to sit around waiting on you? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  24. And all that IS 80's shit. Get your butt to a turbine DZ.. get ya a real RW suit built for anvils, get some coaching on the Mantis position and quit hugging the ball.... If you have the right suit with some ZP wings (Tony and Flitesuit can help) and mantis, you can dig your elbows in to inflate the ZP inner sleeve, de-arch slightly and fly with your legs while keeping level with the formation.

  25. The DEMONcrats took the same course... After a 17 month probe, two state grand juries, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, have indicted 12 Democrats for alleged illegal activities and according to prosecutors, more charges are expected in what they are calling a "widespread" conspiracy within the Pennsylvania Democratic caucus to use tax payer funds to finance political activities. http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree.blogspot.com/2008/07/bonusgate-rocks-pennsylvania-democratic.html Luv YA!!
