Very high volume eh? They are telling the people who bought them they are booked until august for the weekends. Seems like a good way to generate weekday business and lower that redemption rate!

Right, but its a bit suspicious, that's why I'm asking. I'm sure you can understand when something is being offered by skyride, right?

http://www.groupon.com/deals/sportations-nyc 2,320 bought this! Looks like a fake DZ "skydive perkasie". Does anyone know if this DZ is real? From this thread: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3004345 it looks like theres a skydive pennridge that owned by skyride (really?) but does anyone know anything about this specific groupon and location? I'm guessing they are not actually turning tandems for $125 =[ Has anyone even heard of that DZ before? anyone know if this is even the slightest bit legit? or did these scumbags just walk away with $250,000?

Jesus Loves the Sexually Exploited—and the Exploiters
skinnay replied to RonD1120's topic in Speakers Corner
Typical scumbag christian recruiting tactics: Offer help to those in need bundled with hefty doses of church. So yes, Jesus does love the sexually exploited, because they easier to convert -
Dislocated Shoulder video, buddy deploys for him
skinnay replied to liftedtitan's topic in Safety and Training
The jumper could have pulled silver by 12k feet, yet decided to wait until 4500 for his friend to pull his main. Which if he opened in spinning line twists would now have to cut away with his left hand. Just sayin', I'd rather pull silver up high than wait till someone can chase me down to pull my main. If theres something wrong with that I'm all ears. -

"Religion of Peace" (TM) in Action in Whakistan (Time Mag Online)
skinnay replied to a topic in Speakers Corner
Who is enraged? And actually christians have been blowing people up on a regular basis. We've recklessly murdered thousands of kids in our war on terror. Our kids also massacre their fellow students, we beat and murder our wives, we commit the same savage acts of violence that every other group of people in the world do. The way mark harju sensationalizes horrible acts of some muslims is the same way his bigoted muslim counterparts sensationalize pictures of dismembered children from US drone attacks. In a much poorer less developed environment this leads to more violence like in the OP. But the common denominator of angry christians and angry muslims is almost always just a lack of education, money, and the inability to see the other side as people. Its easy to dehumanize people you don't understand. But I've personally never experienced kindness and hospitality anywhere else like I have in muslim countries. -

thank god mark harju is here to show the world what good people christians really are. isn't your god in control of those pesky muslims anyway? seems like you should probably be crying to jesus, not us. -

Egypt Military Appoints Islamofascist Wacko to Amend Constitution

Who was the last atheist American president? -
1st of all - i notice that you didn't answer the questions about what they all said - and could you do that at 88 KM/hr going down a 2 lane street? And no, ABsolutely NOT would I expect to be given a driving test in English if I were in France, or Italy, or wherever - That is thier country, thier culture, either I adapt or I don't get the priveledge to drive. It really is time for people to stop wanting everything catered to them, and just do the right thing. You actually do get the privilege of driving over there. As they get the privilege of driving here. I'm sorry you feel that "doing the right thing" is requiring everyone to speak english, but that has never been the way things are done in america. If you don't like it, leave.

Go to spain and see if they have bi lingual traffic signs. Go to my post and see where I proposed "bi-lingual traffic signs". If you're trying spin my post to mean other than its plain language, you'll just make yourself look silly. It is aimed at showing how tolerant other countries are. I agree with them. If you are going to drive in France - learn how to speak French so that you can understand what they are saying as they cuss you out for being an idiot driver. If you are going to be driving in Spain, learn Castillian Spanish so that when you get lost, you can not only understand the directions given, but read the road signs as you go. That is no different than driving here. Now you're really blowing it out your ass. You don't have to speak or read a country's native language to understand and comply with basic rules of the road. People drive all over Europe all the time without necessarily learning the language of the country they happen to be traveling in/through that day. Do yourself a favor and quit while you're only a little behind. (Edited because I mis-spelled "road" as "toad." Just one key over on the board. I guess looking at your avatar I was thinking of amphibians.) I never said you HAD to - I just don't think that they should have to print signs in another language to accomodate. What are you yielding to here? How about this one? I can only recognize one of these Is this a warning or a yield? Sorry all those signs confuse you. If some day you ever leave your beloved country, I'm sure you'll find its not that intimidating. But imagine you were living in one of those countries (god forbid), wouldn't it make sense if they had a driving test in English that would explain it to you

It's a sign of the times. We'd rather be killed than to be called racist. Same thing happens with terrorism legislation. We can't profile muslim terrorists because we'd be called racist, and we have to strip search grandma's to appear to be fair. You having your panties in a bunch about this, especially your frustration that we "can't profile muslim terrorists", is a much more disheartening sign of the times.

I've driven in many countries where I didn't understand what was written on the signs. That's usually why signs are made with commonly understood colors and shapes, like red for STOP. I'm not sure if you actually have a concern for safety or just are angry about immigration. Either way America was built on being a melting pot of many cultures. Many people come here with poor english skills and pick it up very quickly; some don't, but hey, this is America and thats their right. Take it or leave it.

I've done it and it wasn't bad at all, even with a PDR176. After i closed the container I just put my knees on it to make it look flush.

Full-face Contour Camera Mount--- TAKE 2
skinnay replied to ridestrong's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I love these threads -
What I'm most curious about is how you handle line twists while you might still have a tube in your hand. My biggest fear would be opening into a spin and getting wrapped in the tube. So tube jumpers, if you open in stable line twists do you hang onto the tube? And for all other mals I'm assuming you just drop it. But I'm interested in any safety advice you can give to tube jumps.
