  1. Not me either. not THIS time anyway You're number 1! Sigh... I miss those days.... Remster
  2. Yes, but there were probably better options. If you're going to quit you might as well take it up the chain first. What do you have to lose at that point? People often quit their bosses, not their company. Oh my god. This is so fucking tragically hilarious. I am/was at 2nd interview stage with another company. I just got drunk dialled by the Managing Director to negotiate the employment terms at 10:30:at night (midnight for him). Think I'll pass on that job I dunno! Sounds like a fun company! Remster
  3. Yep. Curtis jumped one at least a year ago (if not 2) during some headdown bigways. I can't find the name of the website where you could view and pan the video in all directions.... It was pretty cool. Remster
  4. In the time you've been posted on this thread, you should have been able to do 200 jumps. Remster
  5. It's a post about a particular user... BAN HIM!!!!!! Remster
  6. I am not an attorney; but I have filed quite a few lawsuits, all in Small Claims Court. Here, in Oregon, you have to give them notice of what your demand is. Then, if they continue/fail to do whatever, you can proceed with litigation. IMO MHS is saying to cease & desist; then if they do not, MHS can proceed with litigation. Jerry Baumchen That makes sense. Thanks. Remster
  7. Welcome to the Colorado skydiving scene... Remster
  8. Have you cut it away under load? Remster
  9. Maybe one of our legal bagels (ha!) will comment, but, I always thought it was a bad strategy to threaten to file a lawsuit: either don't sue someone, or sue them and send them the lawsuit. Jerry/Andy? Remster
  10. Good thing he didn't have a hoodie. Remster
  11. What thread or forum did she block you from? I wanna get blocked!!! Join the party!!!! lol Not hard to do actually, you just have to show her how dumb her comments are and she will block you pretty quickly from the facebook page and apparently twitter now as well. she dug up this as a response to a comment I made on the CQS facebook page to show what an asshole I am Well, in her defense.... ;-) Remster
  12. ASTRA had that.that, and nice colors. Any Idea of why the Astra didn't "take the market" ? Cypres with a kill switch ? please ? Personal theory why Astras never took off: - Battery issues - Need to turn unit off after opening if you had a slightly aggressive canopy / or expecting big turns - Not hidden (back then, people would never think of mandating AADs... There was still some level of mistrust of them, and advertizing you had one was not cool... Although they were starting to become standard) Remster
  13. One thing's for sure: she doesn't want a landing strip. Remster
  14. Skip to 27:25 for the police perspective. Remster
  15. In Oregon you can ride in the road; you're riding a vehicle. We have had a rash of bike/auto accidents here in the Portland-area the last few weeks; including one fatality. Jerry Baumchen In all of North America, as far as I know, cyclists can ride in the lane. In fact, it's often the recommended place when there isn't a wide enough shoulder to allow a vehicle to safely pass to take the whole lane to make sure drivers don't try to squeeze by you. Remster

    FIFA

    Now the "next guy" can't blame the "last guy" for all the BS that's about to be brought up in the investigations. Remster
  17. I've always had an AAD, and almost all of my jumps were made with one in (there may have been the odd borrowed gear jump after a cutaway kinda thing here and there), BUT, I do not want to see them being mandatory. There's enough reliance on them in some people's mind, I don't want to see that institutionalized. Remster
  18. Sigh... Maybe it's just a rumor... Remster
  19. The only one that is in project phase in Fliteshop. And I really don't know where they're at with the build. Considering competitive issues, I'm not surprised they would keep things quiet until they're ready to go. Remster
  20. Rack this one up to substantiated rumor (ie, I talked with a guy who knows something...) We know about the new tunnel project in Scottsdale (http://www.fliteshop.com/) Apparently, that tickled iFly: I have been told that parts have been ordered for 1 tunnel in Tucson, and 1 in Phoenix. Competition may not lower the prices, but at least it's pushed some development! Still: till the foundations are poured and parts that look like they belong to a tunnel show up on the site, it aint happening yet... PS: that will be 4 tunnels in AZ... 5 if you count Yuma that no one can fly in (booo hiss!). Take that TX! Remster
  21. Having seen "leaders" go up line of flight for a good 10 seconds before turning into the direction they are supposed to be following, yeah.. sure... I'm sure that makes him a pro eXtReMe athlete. Remster
