I tried to open it using both Netscape and Internet Explorer I get a message to the effect the site is not responding.

add me to the list if you guys make plans. I in Deland but heading to Sebastain for New Years eve and most of New Years Day.

I believe I agree with the previous to post. We all take a certain amount to risk in our lives, in almost anything we do. We must assume our on responsiblity for our actions. However, that being said we also assume the professionals at any DZ we jump at know what they are doing and do their job with the necessary amount of due care. I do not think it is fair for anyone to expect a skydiver who is injured as a result of someone elses actions not to seek legal recourse. Bills still need to be paid and families need to be cared for.

okay, Ive looked and I cant find it when and where is Collegiates this year? If its close to me Id at least like to go watch. Thanks

In Florida theres a few not too far from Tampa Theres Lake Wales but I cant recall the name of the DZ, however its not far from Tampa. Theres ZepherHills http://www.skydivecity.com/ Its about 20 miles from Tampa, theres Skydive Sebastian http://www.skydivecity.com/ Im really not sure how far it is from tampa but its in that area. Then theres SkyDive Deland (my home DZ) http://www.skydivedeland.com/ its about 2 hrs from Tampa. If I can find out the name of the place in Lake Wales or their web site Ill let ya know. When are you comming to Fl????? Blue Skies..... Chuck

I am a police officer assigned to a traffic unit, let me ask you a question about your ticket. Did the Officer clock you with a LASER Radar or a regular Dopplar radar? if it was a LASER RADAR, your screwed they are 100% accurate if calabrated, and trust me if he was using it, it was calabrated. If he clocked you using a Dopplar RADAR you MIGHT have an arguement, which leads to the following questions: what time of day was the citation written? was there alot of other traffic on the road way? was the traffic flowing in both directions when the officer clocked you? was there traffic in front of you as well as behind you? Was it raining? The reason I ask the aforementioned questions is because Dopplar RADAR is NOT vehicle specific, dopplar radar sends out a signal and the speed of the FASTEST vehicle in the group is returned to the radar unit the Officer then must pick out the vehicle which is speeding. If there were several vehicles on the roadway it could be successfully argued that the officer mistakenly picked your vehicle out as the violator. In comparison, if the officer was using a LASER radar gun, laser radars work on the same concept as a laser sight on a hand gun they send out a single laser which pin points a SINGLE vehicle (which the officer selects by aiming the laser) and returns the speed of that vehicle to the unit they are very very accurate and Ive NEVER seen one beat in court. if you have further questions drop me an email and Ill try to answer them PS what state are you in?

Ive been kinda lurking around on here for a little while, seems to be a pretty friendly group. It also seems like theres quite a few people on here that frequent Skydive Deland. If anyone would like to meet at the DZ and make a jump or two together let me know, Im intrested!!! later.... Chuck
