>When the crossfire was having problems, even after Icarus admitted it was having problems you had people right here on this site that defended them to the end because they make great products. i agree with everything that you are saying. you have to admit though I had never heard of Nova before i started reading this form, i think that if they had a great reputation i would have heard about them before i started reading this form. just my 0.02 why jump when you can fly

>With all due respect, that's a bit presumptuous. Just to prove the point, look at the winners of the photography competition: I apologize, that was presumptuous I forget that we are global. My deepest apologies to everyone that is not in American and quoting jjonhson welcome to the internet land of the free….. It was still and advertisement no matter if it was PD, Action Air, Rigging Innovations or Kmart, and yes I would still feel the same. just my 0.02 why jump when you can fly

i think that everyone has got on a different tangent. This was a sales pitch i have no problem with dan selling his product, welcome to American land of the free, but if you don't like the responses made on this thread again i will remind you welcome to American land of the free. also in this sue happy land that we live in do you really think that manufactures are really going to make a product that they know is unreliable, more over does anyone think that in such a competitive market which is driven more by word of mouth than any other kind of marketing that a manufacture would not go to the lengths to make not only a good product but a great one. hello they are here to sell not lose sales.... i am sure that all testing is strenuously done. does anyone disagree that no canopy manufacture wants people saying that their canopy killed someone. i am sure that they all are doing everything that can to make a great canopy. just my 0.02. blues skies all. why jump when you can fly

control is just a state of mind.... took a long time to get rid of the door fear and every now and than it comes back. as soon as i take that step out the door it goes away. it's good to have fear it makes you respect what you are doing, but do not let the fear control you. blue skies why jump when you can fly

ok i think i get this what about anyone else?? __________________________________________________ Many many years ago When I was twenty three, I got married to a widow Who was pretty as could be. This widow had a grown-up daughter Who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her, And soon the two were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law And changed my very life. My daughter was my mother, For she was my father's wife. To complicate the matters worse, Although it brought me joy, I soon became the father Of a bouncing baby boy. My little baby then became A brother-in-law to dad. And so became my uncle, Though it made me very sad. For if he was my uncle, Then that also made him brother To the widow's grown-up daughter Who, of course, was my step-mother. Father's wife then had a son, Who kept them on the run. And he became my grandson, For he was my daughter's son. My wife is now my mother's mother And it makes me blue. Because, although she is my wife, She is my grandma too. If my wife is my grandmother, Then I am her grandchild. And every time I think of it, It simply drives me wild. For now I have become The strangest case you ever saw. As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa. Many many years ago When I was twenty three, I got married to a widow Who was pretty as could be.

everyone be careful this weekend, and remeber have fun why jump when you can fly

i think that they are great. yes i have jumped without them. i had even considered not getting one for my backup rig. but as far as it goes no matter how much comradere we see in this sport it is still very much individualistic (sp) and their will always be someone who is jumping without. look how many people still jump with out helmets. just my 0.02 why jump when you can fly

i have just been informed of what the tread was about and i had no idea, i never saw the post. that took alot of balls to post and yes i can understand why everyone is offended, i too am offended. why jump when you can fly

I can’t imagine anyone on this site getting offended very easy especially skydivers. I thought that we all were pretty tough to offend. I can’t imagine anyone that is considered an “addict” would have said anything with cruel intentions. I thought that all skydivers were pretty much a big family. can't belive that anyone is actually getting butt hurt over something like this... can't we all just get along?? why jump when you can fly
