    This does not reflect on my opinion of you, I know that you are a stand up straight forward guy, but why is it that anytime I've asked how board members voted on a specific issue, I've received a response that has has told me a maximum of 3 peoples vote? No matter who I ask. It's been asked multiple times by multiple people of the BOD that all members votes be recorded as a member of record. Why doesn't this happen? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Didn't they try it once? http://youtu.be/uTmfwklFM-M Well played sir. :-) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I miss going, but can't really justify the $800 to $1000 a meeting it was costing me to go. Amazing that the BOD hasn't embraced the virtual telepresence that's been demonstrated. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    This. A thousand times this. Only when members care enough will Board Members be held accountable for their votes, and be responsible to the entire membership. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    He said "money grab". LOL! Newb. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Know a master rigger who modified his own rig, chest strap and legstraps with the Cobra buckles. Looked cool, but as stated up thread, a solution looking for a problem. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    There is only one guarantee in skydiving. You will land. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Because it's NOT about experiencing the event anymore, it's all about lookie at this - ME SO COOL! Time was, you burned a site big time like that...half a dozen guys knocked on your door with a pail of tar and a bag of feathers. THAT would be worth posting in MeTube! I'm all for bringing that shit back. P.S. I've seen that video. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    While I appreciate what you're saying, explain that to every jury in every lawsuit involving negligence in skydiving. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Where you are has nothing to do with it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Bullshit. Brilliant response, but keep tilting at windmills. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Hey, just a heads up, you can't jump video with me until you've got 500 jumps and 100 camera jumps. Oh and that goes for every other Vector/Sigma rating holder. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. diablopilot
    Which is probably one reason why you have 3000 jumps in 11 years. If you did 1000 jumps a year I can guarantee you would not do all that. You save that for the second jump. Funny thing about that.... I've got that 900-1000 jump per year average, 8500+ tandems, and 13,000 total, and I DO show them all of that. It's required by federal law in the US. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    People should be temporarily sterilized & banned from marriage until age 35. This. You win the internet. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Mine are all set to the same 3 altitudes (I have multiple audibles in multiple helmets.)> They are arbitrary altitudes since no two skydives are alike, and they are set the same for every skydive, the reason being I don't want to be wondering "did I reset that one for this skydive or is it still set for the last one". The do exactly what they are designed for. They remind me of an altitude. What I do or don't do at that altitude is entirely dependent on how I planned, prepared, and trained for that specific skydive. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Big difference. In aircraft there is one on one training with someone who can complete the tasks at hand and handle emergencies if the student fails to do so until such time that the student has proven abilities. In solo skydiving that doesn't exist. Until the litigious nature of our society is changed drastically the age should be the age of majority. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I think you're a troll, but if not I think you're an idiot. Maybe both. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I've met most of them..... be careful what y'all wish for.

    I see from your profile you have 9 jumps (as of this writing). Do you have more knowledge about skydiving, or parachutes, or the skydiving industry, than the average novice with 9 jumps? For fuck sake dude. The guy is just giving a pretty innocent opinion. Enough with the "skygod" attitude. I dont care if you have a gazillion jumps and gigantic ball sack. Chill dude. It's not an innocent opinion, it's an uninformed one, with little published experience to back it up. When I'm left in that position I open my ears and shut my mouth. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I wanna know which state was taxing freefall. I'll bet they are gonna try a breathing tax next. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    They are a student not a passenger! 1) Experience has not shown a need for a cutaway system for tandem handcam gloves, and I have never seen one. 2) When they ride with me they are mostly passengers. Almost all bucket list types. I may teach them something, but I'm not dishonest enough to tell myself they are students. The are passengers only because you treat them like one. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Time in sport is worth more than jump in the interest of safety and maturity, how ever that time in sport is directly related to how much of it is spent on a DZ. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. diablopilot
    Ask your self this. Do you want to be a talented skydiver, or just look like one? Get a jumpsuit. Heck, get 3. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. diablopilot
    Because I like it and I want to. Full Stop. As for what wuffos think? I. Don't. Care. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Because it's their sandbox and their toys. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
