  1. I've been thinking about what to say since yesterday... I could share a lot about Chris and the interaction we've had over the past years. Instead, I will share the conversation that we had yesterday... Chris came into manifest in his usual cheery way and said "Bets...we gotta talk!" I was thinking okay..he has something up his sleeve! LOL
  2. Nico ...check the clicky! We're on it!
  3. 21 sq ft. No he didnt land it... The canopy is about the size of a kite! The film footage is amazing! Tonight is our annual Halloween Costume party...I'll be sure to get some pics
  4. The weather is sucking in Eloy UGH! I broke my pixie wand and its raining
  5. It would be nice....but think of all the trees! Seriously, there is one posted near the manifest window.

  11. Skyride offers skydiving in the following location in Arizona, and has facticious websites for each. In Arizona there are 5 legitimate skydiving operations: Skydive Arizona, Desert Skydiving Buckeye, Skydive Coolidge, Skydive Cottonwood and Marana Arizona · Phoenix · Tucson · Mesa · Glendale · Scottsdale · Chandler · Tempe · Gilbert · Peoria · Yuma · Flagstaff In Arizona there are 4 legitimate skydiving operations: Skydive Arizona, Buckye, Skydive Coolidge, Skydive Cottonwood So as you can see Skyride is growing arms and legs. Tom points out some valid options. As to the "deal" that Tom mentioned..there isnt one. Skydive Arizona has contacted skyride several times and has asked to be removed from all thier lists to no avail.
  12. I think it makes for an interesting platform...but that is better left in another forum. Its fraud. Its theft. Its unethical. Its bad for skydiving. For those that arent aware...do a search on skyride. There are several threads.
  13. It comes down to a couple of things. Call your USPA rep and voice your concerns. Email the USPA and voice your concerns. Its all well and good that we can complain about this (which we have in several threads) but you have to take action. Remember that they USPA is suppose to listen to its Membership. Thats you and me. Do talk to your DZO/DZM and approach them with the facts. Don't spend your money at their DZs. Don't honor their certificates. Skyride may very well bring folks to the sport, but how many stay in and better yet...how many leave with a really bad taste in thier mouth? Talk is cheap...stay informed, and take action.
  14. November 20! He'll be bringing the new "Access" and all are invited to come and fun jump with him
  15. I've ever heard this one before.. I was on a lift with some tandems and the conversation went something like this: Tandem Passenger: "Hey are we gonna fall through clouds?" Instructor: "No we don't jump through clouds" TP:" Well when you fall through a cloud does it taste like metal?" Instructor:" Excuse me?" TP: "My friend told me that clouds taste like metal" Instructor...speechless. I had to turn my face away as did the camera flyer next to me. It was worth a good chuckle
  16. LOL well SunnyOne there are some cheap flights on SW...come on out! hehe!
  17. Speedos!! Some things are just so wrong! Then again there are 57 Germans running around in them here....next week we get 80 more from The Netherlands. Yikes! My eyes! BB cringes... too many years livin' at the pool

  22. I can answer that...money. It is much less expensive to go the route that they did.
