  1. I have this problem alot in the winter- even here in humid Tennessee. But it only seems to be me. At work I hate even getting close to a filing cabinet because of the shock. The people I work with get upset cause I prefer to discharge on them instead of something metal (it seems to be less painful). I'm just warn smooth out at the end of the day because of the all static shocks. I kissed my husband good bye last winter and knocked us both down. Hurt like hell. Now in the winter we just wave.
  2. What kind of gear is available too? I have a trailer I will give to you but you have to come get it in Tennessee. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  3. Very very good points to make because I think alot of the uninsured are ASSUMING they won't be covered and not even try to get insurance. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  4. And I think that point was made quite well since over 50,000 people in NY smoke. You would think the Govt would take another look at MJ laws with the lastest bust and looking at the amount of people who smoke. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  5. Fullface Z1. It fits ME better than an Oxygen. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  6. I dated my first JM. I ended up way behind the curve, simply because I didn't know better. Thank god I moved 2000 miles to get away from him so I could still jump. I learned alot when I moved away. Like how to pack, the good the bad and the ugly on RSL's, AAD, other gadgets and so many more things. It is a really really bad idea for an instructor to date a student. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  7. IF there was a USPA CC THEN we would have them available at our dz, but I thought we were addressing the CURRENT people that are self-proclaimed canopy coaches. They are not available at every dz, heck, not even every region. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  8. It just as hard to get to the manufacturers places as it is to get to a dz that is offering a canopy course. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  9. FINALLY - thank you! I thought I was the only one that thinks I am responsible for what I fly and how I fly it. I just wanted to play blame game too, its so californian. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  10. Why the USPA? IMO, if the manufacturers are going to continue to make these obnoxiously small and wickedly fast canopies they should be responsible for the training. What good does it do them to kill or mame all their customers? Just a thought. J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  11. Oh my god! That's the final straw! How dare they risk their student's lives with something so dangerous! I know John, I can't believe I'm alive, I was trained under student gear that had round reserves. I should probably quit huh. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  12. jump a Mirage. There student rigs are very comfortable. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  13. I'm here - bored out of my mind. At least I get to leave in 2 hours. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  14. The same people that OWN skyride also OWN Pennridge. That's why she is getting ripped off. Their website SCREAMS skyride. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  15. Let's say this guy is legit, Sorry I can't do it with a straight face. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  16. Well, If I call a fictional dz, which I wouldn't know was fictional, I would assume it really exists. These scum bags, lead you to believe you are going to jump at Skydive Utah because that's the website they found and that Skydive Utah really doesn't exist. I do now since Skyride came along and ripped so many people off and gave the sport I love a black-eye with so many people. I met one last weekend. You obviously don't get to see the disappointment on these peoples faces when the show up with a skyride certificate and we have to say not us. Then we have to explain to them the type of organization they are dealing with and wish them the best of luck getting their money back. I researched every dz in my area before I started jumping. but back then we only had phone books to find them. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  17. I have purchased many many items on line, both as certificates and actual products. I have never bot a gift certificate that did not state where I can use that certificate. ( Even those that sell gift cards for mulitple different stores will give you a list of the stores they are offered to. Skyride does no such thing. They take your money before they tell you more lies. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  18. Now that suprises me. Hmmm.... never met or talked to anyone involved with SkyRide directly...... hmmmmm.... You have always defended them in this thread. They are using you for their benefit because you keep/kept defending them. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  19. OMG Billy, The costumes this year were great. I had a hard time picking my favorite. E-smith isnt' right! Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  20. I miss Andy... Brent, you definately need to be what we discussed. I think it would be funny (unlike mine). Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  21. I miss Peppermint! Was anyone ever able to confirm if this was male or female ? j WELCOME BACK PK!!!! Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  22. Well, Kevin, you have a chance to have it happen all over again, with a new girl. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  23. Then why do they bother to get on there and say I was on the jump but I'm not talking. If they don't want to talk then DONT, don't say anything at all. How many posts were from people who where there that said they weren't going to say anything. just silly j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  24. Well then Kelvina, you need to get your butt out there after work and eat some JELLO. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  25. If they are not willing to try - they don't need to skydive at all. NEVER GIVE UP. They should have their rating pulled. If its an ability issue, I would have to give them a second chance. Everyone has a bad day skydiving eventually. The problem is it could be a year before they have another out of control student. Now, if there are a bunch of out of control students, then whoever is teaching the first jump course needs a talking too if the AFFI and FJC instructor are not the same.
