DSE.... This is off topic, but, why would a Storm be a bad choice for someone with lower jump #'s? I've jumped the storm and though it to be a very manageable wing. Does it have something to do with the wingsuit? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

This must be the bike that killed Kimberly Biggs? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

When Kimmey sells, she'll just use the numbers the defense produced in court for home values. Except, in classic Kimmey fashion, she'll exaggerate the numbers greatly in her favor. I'm hoping MHS will go after her house first for settlement. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Hmmm?? Now you're throwing the instructors under the bus. We haven't even heard their side of this story (and probably won't). It sounds like the OP got thru it without any further injury and is looking forward to his next jump. Please, let's not make this a forum to publicly disgrace otherwise great instructors. Especially since we don't have all the facts. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -

Damn!! I was drinking coffee. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
sorry - that made me chuckle so much I couldn't finish your post I'm sure it was fine - I actually didn't read any more and just read the next few posts the answer to your question is "no" I've not ventured into this forum for many years.... this is why. Bill hit it right on the head. The right is too far right and the left is to far left. And, never the two shall meet. I vote the cool kids on the block are the moderates that can see both sides and come up with a solution that takes the best ideas from both.

Skydive Twin Cities just east of Minneapolis/St. Paul off I-94 in Baldwin, WI. Open everyday with load organizing on Weds, Thurs, Sat, Sun. Lots of fun jumpers, great people, and some of the nicest green grass landing fields you'll find anywhere. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Posted by QuietSkies (AKA Kimmey) in the comments... "We were very pleased today to receive confirmation that Congressman Polis has joined the Quiet Skies Congressional Caucus. This is great news, and a direct result of outreach efforts from our supporters. Thanks everyone!" Translation, Congressman Polis joined this group http://quigley.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/quigley-announces-quiet-skies-caucus-to-combat-aircraft-noise and that does not mean he supports Kimmey and her nut-jobs. Thus, the allegations that she is, once again, misrepresenting the truth. Plus, there is no proof that her group was responsible for the congressman's joining the caucus (if he did indeed join). Note, I did not see his name on the list of supporters???? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

That's the beauty of tracking #'s... you get to observe the insanity. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Agreed, but it's not time for the bowling speech yet. The OP has lots of jumps to redeem himself. Hopefully, he understands the beer rules. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
So.... I'm guessing you opted not to buy the insurance? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Too fast horizontally on landing

Great suggestion, I wear and recommend earplugs as well. However, many DZ's do not allow students to wear them. It seems they need to hear the instructors in the plane..... so, check with your instructors first. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -

So, you might say you got a couple very "experienced" instructors who, it would seem, did a nice job of saving your life when you were not responding? You make inference to their age as though they're not capable of relating to you and your tats. When, in fact, they spent the entire skydive getting you safely to the ground. My first recommendation is, spend some time around the campfire with these "relics" and enjoy (while learning) the stories they may be willing to share. They were completely in control of the skydive even when you were not. Some day, many thousand skydives from now, you'll be doing the same for some young punk who doesn't appreciate your level of skill and experience. Second, relax and make a few more jumps. Your instructors will help you along and each jump you'll learn (and remember) more. Welcome to the sport!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
Price difference between a crossfire2 and saber2
skyjumpenfool replied to tsto's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I think other things are more critical... like, has it been in the sun much? Was it jumped in the Midwest or in the desert? Are the lines in trim, etc. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
Put up a damn picture of something fun you've been doing

Yeungling barrels? Pretty close to the same taste. Real beer doesn't have to stop to change colors.... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
Does the appeal move forward if CQS can't pay the price? And, at what point does Princess Kimmie have to cough up some cash? I ask the second question because Kimmie's recent writings would suggest she doesn't get that she is now in debt for this ruling. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

This totally made me when I saw it too. As I stated up-thread (and on the CQS's website before I was banned) It's one thing to receive pledges, it's another thing to be able to collect those pledges. Is it possible Kimmie doesn't understand the phrase, "the check is in the mail"? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Sabre 2 vs. other canopies?
