ANOTHER downsizing-thread..
fincher replied to virgin-burner's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
My advice is to stay off the front risers until you're not just a n00b that gets a little lost at times. Seriously. When did swooping become a newbie sport? Dave i think you completly missed the point.. in here? someone twisted your post and pissed on your point? that never happens!!!! i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down -
ANOTHER downsizing-thread..
fincher replied to virgin-burner's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
the fact that you called your new canopy a bitch in your original post. Inspires me to tell you that you are probably awesome and you should rock out a downsize and a platform change. i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down -
USPA Membership Dues& Rating Fees going up?
fincher replied to chriswelker's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
touche! my dingo breeding marsupial nurturing friend. USPA all the way! You guys have no appreciation for the legal work they do to support your sport. INGRATES! i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down -
uhhhh....? thanks?.......you've seen me from the side? i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down

polar bears are disappearing because obama and rev wright are killing them all because they are white. Everyone knows rev wright hates whitey. Now that Obama is taking over the good reverend is going ahead with his plan to rid the planet of all things white. White sharks are next. The commonly used name, great white shark, implies that they have some kind of supremecy over other sharks. Great white? what? just because they are white they have to be great? God its so racist!!! Kill those white devils! i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down

Laszlo's pic is how that shot should be done. very sharp high quality image. Camera setup prepared for the lighting conditions. The colors in that shot are awesome. Now compare it to the grainy post apocalyptic looking photo on the cover. I agree with whoever said it was depressing. As a matter of fact it was so depressing that I saw the mailman driving on the wrong side of the road after he delivered it. i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down

The subject matter is skydiving and canopies. There was nothing unique about the shot. Except that its one of the worst covers I've ever seen. This is why professional photography is difficult.....because people dont know enough to know what makes a "good" photo. That shot is fine for someones personal enjoyment and I dont mean to insult the person who took it, but for a publication this photo is weak. And I have sent better. I havent sent many but they were some good shots. but so far they have overlooked them or just havent gotten around to publishing them. i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down

Whats the deal with that staff? Are they not receiving any good submissions. the pics in there lately have been.........well......not so good. This month was a horrible shock when I got my mail and saw this horrible colored, grainy, shot of some canopy with a industrial littered background. I mean seriously....the cover? I almost want to tear the cover off that issue. The best shot in that issue is the one in the atricle about jump planes. The shot of the shark otter with the jumper geeking the camera is badass. i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down

Which DZ`s in your state accept Skyride?
fincher replied to Thanatos340's topic in General Skydiving Discussions

The roast billy vance thread, now this is funny shit
fincher replied to skinnyshrek's topic in The Bonfire
I believe billys passion for the anti skyride cause has caused him to make some uncalled for comments on a group of unrelated individuals. I understand that billy is passionate about his cause and unfortuneately it has blurred his judgement and caused him to make ugly judgemental statements toward the people that jump at prattville. Some of those jumpers have in return responded in ugly ways as well. I have requested that the thread at alskydiving be locked in order to stop this dumb shit. This defamation in no way helps us as skydivers or as a sport. I hope the moderators here will step up to the plate and lock this thread as well. i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down -
The roast billy vance thread, now this is funny shit
fincher replied to skinnyshrek's topic in The Bonfire
its probably being reedited as you speak....... Dont feel too honored. I was there that day. They really didnt spend much time on it (obviously). The dummy drop was part of something else that was going on. At the last minute they got the idea to pretend its Billy. Then made the impromptu video. For people who talk so much smack, some of you Billy sympathisers dont really take jokes well. then again there have been some funny comments here. The following is for you Billy(not your friends) None of the people at that DZ were ugly to you till started making all those personal attacks on here and started telling lies about why the DZ was moving from Pell CIty. You said alot of ugly things about the jumpers at that DZ. things that were unwarranted, uncalled for, and untruthful. Hating skyride or the DZO's was fine. Nobody there cared about that. But you BIlly are the one that started the personal attacks on the jumpers there. They probably should have just ignored you. Honestly there behavior isnt much better than yours. But lets not forget that you instigated this. We both know you have crossed the line a couple of times here recently Billy. Your fellow posters here on DZ might not realize it. But some of your friends locally do. I hope that everyone will just get tired of this stupidity soon. I think both sides are enjoying this little rival. everyone likes to have some conflict in there lives. Neither side really has any room to pass judgement on the other. The threads here and the threads there both represent turmoil and negativity in the sport. Its just skydiving for gods sake. We shouldnt be making it such a big deal. I realize that the people that post on here are a tight knit little group that are going to defend each other no matter what. For that reason this is a never ending waste of immaturity on both sides. I just ask that you Please keep your hatred directed toward the source and not let it spill over to the jumpers at these DZ's. They are no better or worse than you! You are not the final authority on skydiving. It holds different meaning and importance to everybody. You have a opinion and thats it. If you truly have a problem with me or the way i like to skydive, then please come to the DZ and address me face to face or keep it to yourself. Personally i dont have anything against you. I think you unintentionally instigated this. I'm sure you posted here thinking that no one except your posting buddies would see it or pay it attention. then when a whole DZ looked at it and took it personally(as they should have) it blew out of proportion. Now all your posting buddies are backing you and its turned into something stupid. All the finger pointing and judgements are laughable. We have all had a good time now lets stop before we all regress any further. Its already reminiscent of 5th grade banter. Im bored with this now....I'm going to get some fresh air. Skydiving isnt this important have good day everybody and dont turn yourself into the ground. P.S whats wrong with being a packer, billy? Too much elitism here i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down -

fincher replied to skinnyshrek's topic in The Bonfire
I will agree with billy on one thing. The DZ at cullman is nice too. Its really alot like the prattville DZ as far as size and friendliness goes. I havent been to elberta. But i heard it was nice too. i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down -

The roast billy vance thread, now this is funny shit
fincher replied to skinnyshrek's topic in The Bonfire
"as for all these hot babes you mention.. the 18 to 22 year olds...... How many of them were born to OTHER 18 - 22 year olds,,,,, whose social life consists of underage drinking and then screwing anything with a zipper... who drives a pick up truck????" That a rude thing to say about a place you have never been. From the maturity level in this thread it doesnt surprise me. That statement shows your level of education though. I think every state has a group of people that fit that stereotype. If you ever traveled you would know that. If you look in your family tree there just might be a chevy pickup parked under it with the windows fogged up. How old are you again? You do realize that you just got in a mud slinging contest with a college student right? Act your age, you are embarrissing yourself. Hell man im embarrased for you i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down -
The roast billy vance thread, now this is funny shit
fincher replied to skinnyshrek's topic in The Bonfire
I dont think anyone on here really has any room to talk about someone wasting there time posting on forums. Take a look around at the post numbers under these peoples names. All this crap is ridiculous. Everybody knows billy shoots off at the mouth alot more than he skydives. Its ok if you hate skyride. But lately billy has made alot of personal attacks toward the individual skydivers at these DZ's. That is crossing the line. Billy doesnt even know most of these people. I think its rude of him to insult them as people, jumpers, and there abilities in this sport. Lets remember that it was billys negativity that started all this. I dont blame them for being angry. As far as the demo goes. I was the 2nd jumper. I hit the little dirt mound that made me roll once. So what it wasnt a stand up landing....It wasnt like we turned ourselves into the ground. I land downwind and crash and roll all the time. I think its fun actually. After years of crashing dirt bikes i dont even consider that a "crash". The dirt was soft. It felt good on my face. The crowd couldnt even see the landings very well. There was alot of last minute arrangements made for this demo and a few snags with the landing area. We arent perfect and we learned alot from it. All the jumpers were very current and all were jumping larger canopies then they normally jump. Everyone loved it. We had a great time, and i thought crashing was funny as hell. Billy can talk crap all he wants about how hes a pro and represents the sport like a pro. The truth is that the only time he represents the sport is when hes on here posting.(because he never jumps) So many of his post are negative and hateful that i dont know how that could be considered a positive representation of the sport. If you guys want to stick to bashing skyride then thats all great. I just dont think its right for skydivers to bash fellow skydivers for such trivial things. We were just having fun at the demo. why make a big deal out of it? Why get on here and bash us for it? Not like we were neglegent and endangered the spectators. We landed down wind for gods sake.......big deal. Have you never had a downwind landing? have you never had a near miss? Are the perfect skydiver? Billy maybe you havent landed down wind in a long time, but thats probably because you havent actually landed a parachute in a long time. I made 5oo jumps last year how many did you make? Thats what i thought.......Please dont ridicule me for having fun and enjoying skydiving, and practicing my right to eat some dirt on a down wind landing. I really hate that this personal war has been started. It sucks that an outsider like billy would blast negativity toward a group of jumpers that he doesnt even know, all because he doesnt like the owners of the DZ they work and jump at. He has no justifiable excuse to blast at these people. So what its a skyride DZ. These people have bills to pay. And they love to jump. This DZ has offered them a way to help with both. Dont hate us for needing money and loving to jump. Not to mention that it might be the closest DZ to alot of people. With the price of gas how can you argue that. At the same time im sorry that there has been a thread started about billy on our forum. I think its funny and all. I just hate to see people get so angry that they go to billys level. Billy talks about having "insiders" at our DZ.....give me a break!!!!!!! who cares...what is this a matter of national espionage? Billy you are acting like a 12 yr old. Besides we all know who your little insiders are and we dont care because we have other important issues in our life. Skydiving is fun for us, we are not spending our time reasearching dirt on other people in the sport. I started skydiving to get away from dumb drama like this. It sucks that there is always someone just waiting to criticize other people for some dumb little "imperfect" thing. good luck with your cause billy. I hope you crush skyride single handed. As for me i will keep jumping with the great people in this sport. the people who havent lost sight of the brotherhood that is skydiving. You billy can continue to consort with your spies and trash talking losers. If I ever see you at the DZ maybe i will land downwind so I can give you some more reasons to hate me. i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down -
Skyride Dropzone Coming to Prattville, Alabama?
fincher replied to FireMedicJumper's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I have been at Pell City since it opened. The business lisence thing was just some minor confusion. It was clerared up by the next weekend As far the local pilot telling you about our dangerous jump plane pilot?...............Thats a freaking joke! The guy you talked to probably has like ten hours of seat time and just wanted to join in the skydiving trash talk so he could fit in. Our pilots do just fine. The only time the FAA has talked to the staff at our DZ was when these ultra safe local pilots had a mid air collision. The FAA came to us looking for witnesses. As far as the airport is concerned the only thing that has changed since "skyride" took over is the amount of jumpers in the air. Us leaving has nothing to do with the way we do business. You are a liar!!!!! just like skyride huh? People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones. everything you guys post is all second hand information , hear say, or completely irrelevant. If you want to spend time digging up trash then go ahead. I'm sure when you were 10 yrs old you stole some candy or something. Maybe we should start a thread about what a shitty person you are. Our dropzone isnt perfect but its no different than any other. It has its pros and its cons. I love how people bash this little drop zone for the dumbest reasons. If you want to jump at opelika fine. I just hope you dont have to rent gear. If you train there you might want to check to make sure your instructor is actually an instructor. While you're at it ask to see the pilots' lisence. Any more dirt and speculation you guys want to bring up? GROW UP! i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down -
What can we do about Skyride?
fincher replied to ChasingBlueSky's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
70 pages of blaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!! do these threads ever get locked? I love it when people say go back and read this thread......My god it would take a week. If you are that big of a loser then you should hit yourself in the head with a hammer. And its the same crap over and over.. Please lock this... i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down -
What can we do about Skyride?
fincher replied to ChasingBlueSky's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Weak arguments and poor logic really tick me off. If #1 is true, go back and read the damn posts. If you don't, you're posting on ignorance. If #2 is true, then you are ignorant. If you can find the ability to form a cogent argument then keep posting but I won't hold my breath. If #3 is true, I understand your anger and frustration but don't swim with sharks 'cause you don't like fish. first of all, You people are so obsessed that I wouldnt be surprised if someone sent me a mail bomb but I've never hidden my name. #1 is not true. Most of the post are redundant but I have read the majority. #2 I just know how the legal system works, more money and effort will be spent over a few photos then they would ever be worth. I also doubt that this is comparable to a historical injustice. That brings me back to my original point. You people are putting way too much weight on this skyride thing. I dont care how they advertise or conduct their business. Not my job too! I know that I wont change anyones mind with my posts. You people are obviously activist and need something to fight against, its what brings meaning to your lives. Just as my voice means nothing here, your voices mean nothing also. The sooner you learn that, the better off you will be. You can spend years of your life on this but in the end what will you have gained. ( if you even win) #3 these ARE my only post. I've only seen ben and Cary once in my life. ( they were both very friendly) most of the people in this sport are. I will admit that I intentionally started some crap. I just wanted to get a feel for how deep this issue went. You are all part of my experiment..........or my GAME.........muwahahahahahaha! SEE YA ! this is my last post, I have a life in the REAL world. Thanx 4 the entertainment and all the laughs!!!!!!!!! Will you miss me? Please dont cry! Oh yea, technically, sharks are fish. i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your packing tent down
