  3. "Just like you failed to do your homework when looking for a mentor. You stated in your other post that "as a brand-spanking new neophyte to BASE, I personally would only seek out the best and most experienced BASE jumpers to get me started, the ones who not only have been doing it for quite a while, but also come highly recommended by their peers." This statement shows just how ill-prepared you are for BASE. I think that you must have just been looking only at your DZ and not anywhere else since there are at least 4 other jumpers in the Carolinas that have at least DOUBLE the experience that your mentor does. Also who were the 'peers' you talked to? People who he took on a jump from his DZ? Don't you think that those opinions might be slightly biased? Open those funny little eyes of yours Mr. McDuck and you would see that there is a whole lot more than just your little DZ out there to get opinions from."
  4. Well Spoken young jedi!!!! You have seen the ways of BASE. LIVE LONG and PROSPER! I have enclosed a photo of my 2 cents, since everyone is so concerned about ME!!!!! SONIC BEEF #1 BASE 708, NC BASE 3 SLI,IADI,AFFI.TIE.FAA Rigger, Single & Multi Commercial Pilot,CFI, CFII, MEI

  6. Jason, Has it been that long ago that you dont remember the reason that you guys didnt like me. It was for going out and jumping sites with my freind Geoff (BASE709) not taking new jumpers and teaching people. I started showing some very experianced skydivers the ways of HUCKING only after a HUNDRED or so jumps of my own. The reson for my post was not to BASH this guy but to show him that everyone in BASE felt the same about this as we do. After talking to this guy with no responce I decided to post against my better judgement. And once again insted of this being helpful it has turned into a BASHING session. The guy in general is my freind!! I just want him to realize that if hes only gonna hurt himself I have no problem with that, just dont hurt someone else that really doesnt realize what there getting into! I live by "IF YOUR GONNA BE STUPID YOU BETTER BE TOUGH". Im not gonna make him an outcast like you guys have with me and Geoff. Oh I remember what it was like not having anyone to BASE with but Geoff. Now thats changed. I have a BASE freindly DZ with about 15 steady BASE jumpers to HUCK with. HOWS THAT FOR IRONIC !!!!!

  7. Who's BEECH 99 are you guys jumping? Are they looking for a King Air? If so I know where one is for Lease, Its fast as hell about 12 minutes to 14,000. Do you guys still have the cessna with the eyeball painted on the spinner? Its been a while since I was there but I hear nothing but good things!

  8. There is a guy in our area that we took on a few BASE jumps, and now he has been taking all kinds of people with him. He took an AFF student with only 5 skydives BASE jumping. The student lost a toggle on deployment and almost hit a guyed wire. We have tried to talk to the guy about getting a MENTOR and stop trying to be THE MAN and stop taking everybody but he wont listen and we are worried that he is gonna hurt someone or himself. What do we do. BASE 708 SONIC BEEF #1 BASE 708, NC BASE 3 SLI,IADI,AFFI.TIE.FAA Rigger, Single & Multi Commercial Pilot,CFI, CFII, MEI
  9. The King Air is pretty fast for a B-90, its about 12-14 minutes to 13,500. Be sure to try and come out for some good ole fun. SONIC BEEF #1 BASE 708, NC BASE 3 SLI,IADI,AFFI.TIE.FAA Rigger, Single & Multi Commercial Pilot,CFI, CFII, MEI
  10. I would use the tunnel and so would alot of people from this DZ. It would be a nice asset to the area. John SONIC BEEF #1 BASE 708, NC BASE 3 SLI,IADI,AFFI.TIE.FAA Rigger, Single & Multi Commercial Pilot,CFI, CFII, MEI
  11. No, He is telling the truth. There is a guy at our DZ that is offering insurance to BASE jumpers, Pilots and Skydivers. You can call the DZ at (910)858-0700 for more info.

  12. I have posted numerous things in there about events at our DZ. And watch people hit on it and then disapper from the forum. SONIC BEEF #1 BASE 708, NC BASE 3 SLI,IADI,AFFI.TIE.FAA Rigger, Single & Multi Commercial Pilot,CFI, CFII, MEI
  13. Click on the "Forums" button at the top of your screen. Does "Events and Gatherings" come up on your screen in the list of forums? If yes, then it is a forum. Derek Alot of DZ post are on the events and gatherings. But as soon as i get in there and put anything about our DZ in there it gets zapped. So whats up are all the other people allowed to post there and not us. SONIC BEEF #1 BASE 708, NC BASE 3 SLI,IADI,AFFI.TIE.FAA Rigger, Single & Multi Commercial Pilot,CFI, CFII, MEI

  16. Why is it that every time i get on Drop Zone .com to post something. It always gets erased or removed from a Forum! Are the mediators of the forums biased towards me! Or is this just good ole American censorship! John Hayes
