  1. Nope, it's the attempt to take away those rights, and the fools who are willing to accommodate the government in doing so, that will take us down. I have to agree with Rehm because people in this country abuse these "rights" and don't so much as look as them as rights but as entitlements. Common courtesy has gone out the door in this country.

  2. I thought the the guy had a problem with those "others" putting a cross out for his son at their protest that HE does not support. I would be pissed off too if some people who don't know me, or my family decided to USE me or them for THEIR causes and beliefs.

  3. Did you read the last incident report? j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  4. Hook - what about the other bad situations where an RSL will hurt you more than help such as jumps with a camera and doing CRW. AND it MAY have been a factor in the latest incident. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  5. Have you read the governance manual? Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  6. So Ben and Cary are going to jump where? or are they just quiting? and it SIM not SIMS. Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  7. I would suggest getting a video of your next AFF jump. The tunnel might help but a video of your skydive with gear on would probably be more helpful. Good luck! Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  8. Sanctioned by who? USPA. Not if you are not a group member dz.... Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  9. Sanctioned by who? I think he is refering to the National Skydiving Association. Its one of their fictional organizations that list all their fictional dz's. Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  10. But you attached your membership to ASC's, which is owned by Ben and Cary. How could they not know? Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  11. If you can't find anything before hand, Don Bickel usually has a wardrobe shop set up! It is a ton of fun! Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  12. In your years as a skydiver, how many DZ's have you visited and/or worked at? Okay, since you don't want to reply to Marks, then reply to me. We had 2 tandems jump a couple weeks ago, but they had originally scheduled for, what they thought was Tullahoma, now, ASC/SKYRIDE (not chutingstar) charged these 2 when they showed up at Tullahoma and NOT ASC/SKYRIDE. What part of this is okay business practices? Surely they would have canceled at ASC had they KNOWN and been TOLD by the scum that answer the phone that they were scheduling for ASC. Are you telling my these 2 tandems are liers? These are not the only 2 that have scheduled for Tullahoma and charged through ASC.

  13. I think its funny how he claims to "run the skydiving school" yet the front page of his website says: Chuting Star Rigging Loft provides a full line of rigging services to skydivers and pilots throughout the United States. Chuting Star's full-time staff of FAA parachute riggers is based out of Atlanta Skydiving Center in Cedartown, Georgia. Chuting Star also operates satellite locations in Pell City, Alabama, and Perkasie, Pennsylvania. He claims to run the skydiving school yet no where on his website does he even MENTION teaching skydiving. If, by some chance, he gets a Group membership, Ben and Cary cannot jump with ANY of the students otherwise he would be breaking some very serious BSR's about using non-rated instructors.

  14. But don't you run the "school"? Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  15. that's funny because I used to get made fun of for the same thing. They really made fun of me when I would set up on final 1/2 mile out at 1000 ft but I've ALWAYS been able to walk back when some have needed assitance, plus this was back when alot of trial and error was happening with the HP canopies, so I could avoid them when they would hook it in front of me. Always have an out. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  16. ACMEskydiver - its okay that you don't want to jump at the WFFC but be advised they have a bigger landing area than most other boogies. I've been to Quincy twice and this will be my second Rantoul and granted I'm not there for the whole time, but I have never encountered a problem with traffic under canopy. I guess because I choose a spot away from everyone and I'm not so lazy I can't walk. I'm not saying there isn't traffic issues, I've just never encountered them. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  17. funny thing about all this is they think going to other boogies, traffic will be better. More people, more problems. I leave tomorrow for the convention and am really looking forward to it. I go to skydive. Its cheaper for me to go to WFFC than any other boogie overall. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  18. Excellent! Now they are going for mail fraud. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  19. well, our main aircraft only takes 7 minutes to altitude so I usually do nothing but guess who is going to fart and at what altitude. In the C195, I usually sleep. the engine puts me right down. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  20. Why isn't the plane staying for the whole convention? judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  21. nope, i'd ban veter_!!!!!!!!!!! I would make veter a mod for the entertainment value! j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  22. But then who would entertain us? Its been really slow at work this week and his posts are, well, funny. Unfortunately he is serious in most of his posts, but he is still very entertaining. J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  23. I'm glad you learned that small things (like half-collapsed slider) may cause "NO BIG DEAL". Chop, pull, land, pay, repeat. How would you miss (and I suck at packing, even after 9 years), a 1/2 collapsed slider when you are quartering it? Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  24. Psssttt... He was post #119... He does have more posts than jumps. As I do... So, I haven't noticed that changes they made over the last year in the profiles. I guess I'm just unsafe. I should be in a dead pool. Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  25. Would the propellers help you get back up if you went low? (sorry for the stupid post, but I'm bored out of my mind) Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
