  1. Good points, I am not saying that they cant. All I am saying is that there are so many things that can happen when you put two newbies (and yes 100 jumps is a newbie) together that experience may save lives. I have had a coaches rating for years, never used it never got paid never asked. Had my slot paid for once. My father did the same for 41 years, thus explaining why I started the SkyFest event and the Skydiving Scholarship Fund. I am all about sharing info. for the better. But two newbies can get you in trouble. I for one have been there. Again, this is not an attack on newbies, maybe one on the program, but I dont have the answer. I just keep jumping with the new ones cause I like it. I learn something almost everytime.
  2. Why not just lower the rating requirements to 10 jumps? Obviously the rating does not care about experience levels? Why I may not be able to swoop my canopy like some with 500 jumps, I do have something that can take years to obtain. Experience. Been in the sport all of my life so I have seen alot, one does not have to have alot of jumps to gain the "experience" either, of course it helps. I agree with you Joe. We are not considered expert skydivers until we obtain a D license, and what that takes 500 now? Huummm yet we will let a 100 jump wonder train our newbies.... This is not to offend the 100 jump wonders, its not your fault. And some of you may know I am all about the newbie and safety, SkyFest proves that, but lets get real. Ok bash away at me

  18. I made a short post yesterday responding to the same thing. I guess it was deleted due to its location. Bottom line is that Johnny and Jerry, "never landed" and I am sure Chuck just used the "other" term out of habit, not dis-respect. Glad all is well Chuck! J
  19. LMAO Naah, he would be upset because mine is bigger than his... referring to boogies of course....Or atleast that would be the battle for divorce... Andy you are nuts my friend, where do you come up with this stuff?
