  1. There is nothing "new" about the rule at SDAZ other than the fact it's full time rather than event oriented. But since they had a complete lack of interest in enforcing the rule durring events, I suspect that this too will fail in time. It also doesn't address the real issue. What about the most recent fatalities in Eloy? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. You can find in most of the WS manuals that you should not use pull-out with WS. Thanks for pointing that out. Now tell us why you shouldn't. There is nothing wrong with it provided you set your equipment up properly, just as you should do with a throw out. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. I know nothing about the "HD Adult league" at SVCO. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. Agreed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. Really? Hot air? So why hasn't SDAZ come foward and offered any alternative to those interested in HP turns? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. I was just gonna say that. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. Steve, in order to train a competent canopy pilot, the instructor should have some competence in the area. Currently there is no requirement to demonstrate that skill to become an AFF instructor. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. Wow. I'm all warm and fuzzy inside now. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. Not true, the situations are in no way similar. People are still allowed to wingsuit at Perris, they have been specificaly forbiden to do high performance turns at SDAZ. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. Hold my beer while I show ya somethin' ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. Maybe you have missed the number of times I said I would. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. it's ninga d00d ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. SDAZ has effectivly given anyone who wants to practice high perfomance canopy flight the boot. "When can we do a 270?" "On Tuesdays, with full moons, after 6:30, only if there is no one else jumping that day." "Oh wait, it's not economicly viable. Go get in the bus with the Style and Accuracy freaks." Hey it's Larry's DZ, and I actually admire the man for what he's accomplished, but I disagree with him on the handling of this issue. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. That's because Joe is a kind, carring, wise, and fair human being, who has only good intentions, and the welfare of all mankind in his heart. He likes puppies too.
  15. What's better is to but the most horizontal distance between you and the formation before you pull no matter what your tracking style is. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. The device that solves that problem is the Collin's Lanyard, NOT the SkyHook, and it has been around for some time. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. Still got the shorts of power? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. In a fair world......yes... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. I'm assuming your proposed ban of small canopies is as silly as my proposed ban on boogies. And nothing will get done unless whe change or ban the jumpers themselves. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. Holy Moly was I ever off with that statement You have anything interesting to contribute? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. Coming from you I am disappointed. We are only as safe as we enforce ourselves to be no matter if at a boogie or at a weekend jumping. If anyone honestly believes that then you guys are shallow. So what if a boogie isn't the place for swoopers to spped through traffic on a big way? Can't you do that at most any DZ on a regular weekend. What is wrong with adapting to the safe crowd for a few jumps? Doesn't kill ya at least. End rant...this mentality has to stop though or the deaths will continue. What mentality, dear? Have you not noticed I am one of the most outspoken proponents of NOT hooking in traffic? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. I hear what you're saying, but I don't want free food. I want to be treated like a customer, not a burden. I used to be in that business 10 years ago. It ain't hard.
  23. What's their outlet site address? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. www.theblueskyranch.com Sorry to disapoint, I'm back in Cali. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
