  1. Why? It restricts learning. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. Because it's what the market will bear..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. The X210R? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. I think it's a bad deal. You may regret it, but then I don't know how you feel about BASE. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. Where you all headed? I'm in Mobile Alabama headed for Z-Hills. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. Great, as if the NPS didn't have a big enough hard on for catching jumpers. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. IMO the best in value, comfort, design, and functionality is the VSE Infinity. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. Ditto. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. Anyone east of NM on Hwy 10? I'm on my way to FL over the next few days, what's going on? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. Me. Because I said so. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. billvon & amy - sex toys me - complaint department (perpetually out to lunch) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Didn't look intentional to me at all. Lucky though, directing that much energy towards a croud is asking for trouble. Edit to say: Notice that the jumper had no out if he misjudged. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. No, it's a silly idea that simply uses up valuable altitude that could be used to create seperation. The incident in Titusville was the camera flyer's fault. he should have never been there. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. Do that. I did. You'll value ALL the experience, and before long you'll be a far better flyer than anyone that focuses on just one area. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. I'll take a look, PM it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. Bill is good for sure, but he is not the only innovator in this industry. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. Any locals along this route east of NM give me a PM. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. NO SHIT! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. I disagee with the policy for two main reasons: First and simplest, money. Cops are put on Paid leave. Skydivers never will be. Rarely are they ever employees either, usually being contractors of some sort. Two, assumption by the USPA that the instructor had any liability in a fatality is irrisponsible. If we are going to continue to stand behind a waiver, and encourage people to assume their own responsibility for their actions, we must not go down this road. If anything like this EVER comes to light I will give up my AFF rating that day and insist the USPA provide documentation that I have done so. How many times have we seen a student get proper instruction and still make a low turn? How many AFF instructors have taught everything by the book and still had a student go fetal right out the door? We are not supermen/women, and can't prevent everything. Somtimes people, parachutes, aircraft ect. fail. Anyone who doubts that should bowl. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. Having worked in the gear business for 5 years, I would say they are in the top 25% when it comes to good customer service. When mistakes have been made they have been handled right away and properly which is the true mark IMO. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. Why? The PT6 is the most common turbine in the Skydiving industry. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. False, there have been manufactures, riggers, and sport jumpers that have developed the use of magnets in skydiving equipment longe before Aitair and UPT. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. I think they would be foolish to do so for 2 reasons: First the cost. You'll take a $200 helmet and make it now $300 since this is such a limited market. Second: Liability. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. Awsome, so you're making money on someone elses ideas. Hmmm not like it hasn't happened in Skydiving already.....harness rings anyone? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  25. Gosh, thanks for your valuable opinion. All these years of skydiving and we never figured it out. BTW, you know who Bonehead's biggest customer is? The US Military. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
