I'm just kind of throwing this out to hear what others think. I know there are a lot of healthy, great elderly skydivers. But at the same time, I've seen older AFF and tandem instructors fly less well than they did when they were younger, or people who have been in serious skydive accidents struggle to fly at a certain level of expertise. I don't want to offend anyone, but I've just seen an instructor's age or injuries become a factor in the way they teach and fly, but they keep flying with students anyway. It crossed my mind that such people should maybe stop flying with students and maybe just teach ground school. But I guess there's no way to enforce that?

Speedflying and speedriding aren't skydiving If I'm right, speedflying and speedriding grew out of skydiving.

I'll be there. Let me know when you come. Stop by the dz, too. It's only five minutes from the tunnel. Most of the tunnel guys work at the dz.

BOD meeting attendees and qualifications

So, it doesn't really matter how good you are or how safe your are? -
BOD meeting attendees and qualifications
DesertDevil replied to DesertDevil's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
What qualifications does a person need to attend BOD meetings? Do you need to be a professional skydiver, have lots of jumps, have creative ideas, the respect of peers? Or can just anyone buy a plane ticket and go? -
I think the chances are pretty high. There are probably a lot of variables, like how old she was when she left, how many memories she has of home, how often she talks to her family. How old was she when she came to the U.S? Religion is not just religion, it's a memory, a part of an identity that's hard to let go, even on a subconscious level. It's probably a part of her even if she says it's not.I personally left my country and my religion years ago. Even now, I don't believe it, but it's still a powerful influence on me.

Cute! This is mine. I took nearly a month off from the dz and my business when he was born in October. Today he is really sick. We had to take him to the doctor.

I came across some pictures of work We did for the Utah Planetarium and was wondering what other skydivers do for work. Feel free to post some pictures of work you've done.
