    Because it's the "New Improved DZ.com with 70% more Suck" ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Why would you waste time tumbling? That's just silly, pull the reserve instead. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    It is 100% your responsibility to avoid any sort of collision or conflict with a tandem, if needed, wait 30 seconds. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Spotting starts long before jumprun. I make it a practice to be aware of my position relative to the DZ the entire ride to altitude. Often to keep the climb economical a hop and pop jumprun will be different than the jumprun at altitude. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

    It was something about "whuffo." Whats great is what rig that Bill Booth puts over his shoulder in that scene. If I remember correctly it was a reflex or talon. Hmmm, could be wrong but I seem to remeber it as an "Eclipse" tandem rig, which was pretty much a poorly done rip off of a Vector. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Yes, I feel there is sooooo much I haven't done in this sport. I haven't competed in Freefly, never focused on 4 way with the intent of placing at nationals (well I have but it was as camera), I would love to do more CRW, I've put competitive canopy piloting on hold, many many things I still want to do...... The biggest problem is resources. When I had less jumps it was enought to just keep jumping, any type of jumping, now the hard part is focusing in one area, and having the resources to do so. The last year I was competing in Canopy Piloting regularly, I did over 400 hop and pops, but that was too the exclusion of much other jumping and the expense was huge..... 10,000 in 8 more years is very likely if I remain working in the industry as a full time jumpmaster. Much less likely if I look into another career, but jumping will always be a part of my life. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I think about 400 or so my first year, and near 1000 my second, the balance has been a pretty even spread. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    So I am seriously excited by the fact I made my 5000th skydive today, something I would have never imagined 8 years ago. So excited that I thought I might start a goofy thread bragging about it indirectly. Someone thought differently, and I don't even have the satisfaction of knowing who. So for any of you who care, thanks. Otherwise I'll leave the rest of you to discuss which DZ.commer you'd rather eat. I think I'll leave the Bonfire alone for a while. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Everything is hot these days. Too many "Rock Stars" in the sport now. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I don't know what the weather in FL is like in March, but the temperatures in the indoor skyventure tunnels, like NH, are very nice day and night, year round.
  21. diablopilot
    No. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I'd like a tuck tab for my pull out handle. Otherwise it's perfect.

    Never happened. And since Ben and I were the only two in the room when I had a meeting with him, we are the only two to know what was said. I think you're fishing. Really? Who? I have never applied for work at SVNH. Again, you're fishing. Perris did not find it important to advance their instructors through the IBA progression. Ask Kris or Scott why it took 3 years for them to become L3's. As for "lead instructor" or "saftey supervisor" roles, well those are not worth discussing, since YOU were not priviy to the conversations had with owners of SVCO had both in LA and in Denver. As amatter of fact I seem to remember you abandoning the company since you jumped into an agreement in which you couldn't keep your word. Slander all you wish, coming from you it means little. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Since I never applied for employment at SVNH it's not suprising I was never hired. I have not to this day been banned from the Perris DZ, infact I was there 8 weeks ago for a visit. Considering you've never worked at the Perris tunnel, I doubt you have any clear understanding of what went on there. You've never seen me miss a spot. And you never had a perfect record to begin with. Once again you're speaking from limited experience and hearsay. Nice that you're acusing me of ego. You still claim you have no ego? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
