I heard this was a rookie dolphin being forced to do this by the older dolphins. At least he wasn't being shellfish and not letting anyone watch.

Longmont City Council will take up skydiving noise

I do now have access to a Piper and Beach. Not blacked out though, so I guess they don't count. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message -
You could try the pocket slider, I know the one I put on a guys Sabre-170 made it open like a whole new canopy. What kind of grommets does the slider have?

Ya probably shouldn't try to fake out the doughnut shop...

Longmont City Council will take up skydiving noise
theonlyski replied to stratostar's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I am well aware, my domain has a hidden registration as well... I just find it entertaining that she was trying to call us out, when she went thru the steps of making the owner of her site... But then put her contact info on it. Hey, it's almost Friday again!

For someone that's sooooo into economic development of the area... She's hosting her site in Chicago/San Antonio. Ironically, she's even gotten the hidden registration thru a listing in Canada.

What an accomplishment. Cheif, there's some things a man just as well keep to himself. This is one of them. It's offensive and sexist. Maybe you've heard about the rule that instructors are morally obligated to abstain from sexual activities with paying customers? If you knew that, then this little scenario tells us just what kind of guy you really are, which is hardly anything to be proud of. Best- Richard No dog in the fight on this one, but he said he videoed the jump... so he wasn't her instructor.

Conflicts of interest in skydiving instruction
theonlyski replied to GLIDEANGLE's topic in Safety and Training
I'm sorry - but shouldn't an integral part of being a "new A License Holder", be knowing (i.e. read: TAUGHT) already how to gather up your gear upon landing, at least such that it is not all so inexorably tangled by the time you walk back to the packing loft with it, in the 1st place? Yes, it SHOULD. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message -

I, and I'm sure you too, get snagged a lot walking thru the packing area by student packers. "Hey, can you come look at this?" I usually have at least a minute or two I can spare. Yep, whenever I got snagged I tried to take as much time as I could helping them understand what's wrong and how to fix it. Does them no good if I fix it for them... Teach a man to fish and all.

theonlyski replied to GLIDEANGLE's topic in Safety and Training
isn't that what instructors and coaches are paid for ? and even if they are not paid, shouldn't they give forward to newer jumpers that kind of knowledge ? I'm very lucky to not have to rely on skydiving for income anymore (and only did for a brief while). Being a rigger with lots of free time, I do like helping people out and feel bad when they're struggling. I always made sure that I was very in depth with the gear portions of the A-license prof card but sometimes I still run into people that look at me funny when I tell them they should replace their main closing loop and hand them a new one.

I would always make sure to go over the gear to the extent that the students probably thought it was too much. A few times I even managed to find a reserve that needed repacking and show them how the system works... I think it helped their confidence and dispel any thoughts that what's in the container was just pure magic and unicorns. Whenever I would teach packing after they were comfortable and thinking they were ready to be signed off, I'd give them a student rig how they can look after a non attentive student brings it in, step thrus, unstowed brakes and all. After a couple of minutes of them trying to figure it out, I'd show them how to untangle it and how to check to make sure it was completely untangled. I always hated when a student/fresh A-license holder would get frustrated because they're standing there trying to untangle their canopy so they can keep jumping, the packers are busy with tandem rigs, everyone else is packing their own rigs... so they are stuck sometimes with no help for a while.

There are rules set forth by USPA and some manufacturers. I was doing tandem videos with 250ish jumps and a coach rating. I've seen people with far more jumps that I wouldn't let video me doing a tandem. It's not ALL about the jump numbers... If the TI says no, then you don't get to jump with them. Once they see if you are capable of doing it safely and word gets around, you'll have more TI's that will let you come with them.

Funny story about that. My DPRE handed me an old Vector II and a Vector 3 manual... I didn't fall for it. Sneaky guy... I'd say another thing to do is read and try to understand a lot of the manuals, writing questions down along the way. This way you end up with a list of things to ask during the course and it fills in the blanks (though it's probably covered in the course anyways, it wouldn't hurt). If you've got no practice packing reserves and nobody that can show you the ropes, getting one and packing it probably isn't going to be the best use of your time IMO, you'll just pick up bad habits that they'll need to get rid of in the course. Find a sewing machine on craigslist... ANY machine, preferably a cheap one... Learn how it works, practice going slow and keeping control. The ones in the course are going to be different, but the basics still help quite a bit. It's also great if you have to troubleshoot a little and figure out simple tension and timing issues.
