Update- The owner of the jumpsuit company has agreed to fix the suit at their expense. My friend will pay the shipping costs and is happy with this arrangement.

Even When the ZP is over the yellow wing in front(as can be seen in the picture) it still looks green. By itself it looks green. Again, I might be colorblind.... but what they call flo.yellow is green to me. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

Lesson learned. As a seller of skydiving gear, who would you say is responsible for the cost to fix this, the manufacturer or the customer? "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

I agree, he should have checked the swatches. Maybe I'm colorblind. Is this flo.yellow? Somehow it looks green to me... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

A friend of mine has ordered a jumpsuit that arrived with a color obviously wrong.(they call it flo. yellow, it is in fact green.) We are trying (for the 3rd time) to give the manufacturer the opportunity to fix the problem, so I won't mention their name. I feel bad because I recommended this company to my friend and I feel he didn't get what he ordered and paid for. They said they would fix it but would charge him $35.00 to do so. They also offered to refund his money, but then it will be another 2 months until he has a suit that he can use. He is a new Camera Flyer and wont be able to work until he gets a suit to use. How common is this? Has anyone else had this problem? How was it resolved? "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

in order to swoop do you need to do a hook turn?

"Some would say the same of CNN, in the same sarcastic tone of voice." Or Fox, CBS, Voice of America, etc. I agree with you. I will consider the source of information when I listen to their version of the story. As far as the memo, I missed it too... I have no problem with people criticizing the president. I'm happy to live in a place where I can

LOL! Yes , I too saw the interview. I should have made myself more clear. I was referring to the way different news agencies spin the stories. I am not suprised to see a headline like that from Al Jazeera. Steve "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

Sounds more like a ParaGear problem and less of a UPS problem.... Have you ordered from Paragear when you were at your old address? "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

does anyone here jump who at one point said they never would?
stevebabin replied to Newbie's topic in Archive
I never said never... But my Wife did! 2 years ago she changed her mind. She seems convinced that it is in her interest to be married to a happy man -
COLD!! I cant complain too much though, only 2 weekends without jumping so far this winter... Sorry to hear about your trip. Florida sounds nice this time of year! Blues!

Jumped any Tiny Xaos's lately? Seriously, though... A deployment bag with inboard stows and a last center stow might help. fwiw, Blues, Steve Babin "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

You can effectively bury your toggles 2 inches deeper. On some canopies, it can help you get that last "nugget" of lift at the end of your swoop...

What would you say a skydiver wears a helmet for?

1. Protect your head. 2. Provide a stable platform for cameras. 3. keep your ears warm "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up." -

It is not the place of the officer to be "dressing down" anyone. I don't buy the idea that it's ok to "rip him one" (not your words, I know) if he doesn't give him a ticket. Yes, I will expect professionalism from public servants.

I agree that the freeway cops have a "shitty gig". Thats what they signed up for when they went into law enforcement. They should be able to perform their duties without "anger" and "disdain". In my experience with law enforcement officers, the vast majority have been very professional, and I have appreciated it. The times I have received a "lecture" have left a bad taste in my mouth. It's not their job to lecture. If a lecture is warranted, it should come from a Judge. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

"In my day, I tended to bring a man back to me at the squad to rip him one, if he needed it." It's not the officers place to "Rip him one" regardless of percieved "Need".
