Thank you Terry, I appreciate it. -
Gelvanor / "South African ZP" Fabric Swatches Needed
DougH replied to DougH's topic in Gear and Rigging
Do any of you riggers, manufacturer types, or pack rats have any of samples of NEW gelvanor that was once used by PISA (Hornet, Heatwave) and Aerodyne (Triathalon). This might have also been used on the Nitro. If you have any available and can lend them to me please PM me. The beer will be on me if we cross paths, oh and doubly so if you have swatches in purple, jade green, and neon green. Thanks!

Skyride is like heading off a customer before they walk into a store they were already heading for, walking them up to the manager, and then demanding a comission on the sale. They steal customers who are already searching on the web for dropzones in their local area, and trick them with deceptive and often straight up fake websites. These customers would have found legit websites if they weren't diverted away by skyrides fake websites and larger google ads budgets. It is all passive advertising, they don't drum up any business that wasn't already going to find you. If skyride had a national tv and print advertising campaign, stop lying and cheating customers, stopped being deceptive thiefs, then they could offer some benefit to the sport. In their current form they are a cancer. DZO's accept skyride because they are greedy scumbags, plane and simple. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

You missed the part where it was an unfriendly neighbor. I would get a written opinion from a fireplace contractor that details the industry standard for installation. Fax it to the insurance company and tell them that you have plenty of vacation time and you like spending your free time in small claims court.

Opening a base canopy at terminal, at 1000 feet, free packed show how little he knows about canopies. Sad. Sparky Care to elaborate Sparky? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Good luck with that. It seems like for every DZO that wants to run and honest business with honest marketing, you have one that doesn't. Skyride is fraud plane and simple, the sooner states start indicting those scumbags the sooner the skyride problem with disapear.

I thought it was ironic that it was upside down AND there was an ad in the paper looking for an editor for the magazine. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

The USPA can't do anything about skyride because it isn't in their legal capacity. If you want to do something about skyride then write your states attorney general and try to get their office on the case. Or you could allways take a ride somewhere and some people could slip and fall. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

If you've got a second please vote for my restaurant
DougH replied to froglady's topic in The Bonfire
Funny, I thought the same thing, I wondered if I was the only stick in the mud. Getting people to vote for the hawt women contests is one thing, we can see the pictures. But since I can't sample your restaurant over the internet then it really isn't fair. Best of luck, but you are cheating a bit by stuffing the ballet box. I think the number of votes you will get from bonfire individuals with too much free time will far outweigh the number of votes you get from bonfire posters who were actual patrons.

Time to see if the electronic tweakers figured out away to reactivate it. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Honest Queston: What do I do with my gas guzzler?
DougH replied to skydiver30960's topic in The Bonfire
Park it until WW3 when we wipe the rest of population off the face of the earth for their oil, and can once again enjoy sub dollar gas. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P -
I need to get a picture of my friend Travis' dad. He also looks like Peter Griffin. Which is weird because now he also looks like your inlaw too!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

You See A Skydiver In the Middle of O'Hare ... What Do you Do?
DougH replied to NWFlyer's topic in The Bonfire
That is actually brilliant. If he is a funjumper then he will definetly get the refrence if you scream Scott Lutz at him. If he doesn't get it you can play if off easily by saying sorry wrong guy! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P -
Yeah something like that. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Thanks! I still do not agree that a week or more of sun exposure, especially in more northern latitudes is a death sentence for a canopy. We have recovered plenty of tandem and other cutaway at my dz after a long time missing, that were in mostly direct sunlight, and almost all of them got a clean bill of health from the manufacturer.

Lojack is 750 here in the US if bought from a dealer. I wonder if they offer a smaller sized model? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Let me ask you this, is it dz gear, or their own personal gear that they are tearing up. Drouges aren't free! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Care to back that comment up with actual data Gabor? A day in the sun will not render a canopy un-airworthy. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

I didn't think they did, my comment was very much tounge in cheek. So how did it open? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Cal City Otter & C206 at Pepperell, MA
DougH replied to ZigZagMarquis's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Did any one take any stills of 27g while this was all going down? I would love to see the camera setup hanging out the door! That plane holds a special place in my heart. I think if I had to pick between White Plane, and Captains new addtions I would send the Otter packing. Crazy I know. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P -
They are using Google Maps as far as I can tell, but I don't go around there any more so I am not sure. Their google ads also have safety guarantees. Sign me up!!! I wish DZ's would stick to more straight forward marketing. Add Skydive Cape Cod to the creative marketing list as well... now aparantly they are a "CT Skydive Center".

Thank you, and godbless. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

I wasn't talking about swooping Gabor, where do you see that in my question? I was just wondering if there was a possible trade off between flight characterstics and opening characteristics. For example, 9 cells are generally more responsive then your average 7 cell, excluding exceptions like the diablo. But they give up a bit of opening consistancy compared to an average 7 cell.
-
I wonder what the trade off is... In my mind if it flies like a 9 cell, it may display less of the more desirable 7 cell flight and opening characteristics? Did they reinvent the diablo?? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Oh oh oh... I know.... The answer is D... all of the above... pull all of the above inputs, at the same time!!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
