I now have the image of Skymama in a vinyl outfit, holding a cat of 9 tails in her hand, ........and typing....... DAMN!!!!!..........now I got that image..... >>>>so much for sleeping

so my questions to you are 1-when do you pull yourself from a load? When something unsafe catches my attention..... example:#1:: one of the dz's I go to (used to work at) has a bozo that comes out occasionally, he has done such silly things as pull out of a formation....(not planned), tracked WITH another jumper on breakoff and never veered away, the other jumper didnt see him till wave off at 2500' "right next to him" he has done many more things, the list could go on......... if he is on the dive, I am not. example:#2..... if I see the pilot show up and notice that the preflight is non existent....(have seen this once) and havent been back to that dz example:#3......same as you, when the dust devil activity is really active I will stay on the ground. 2 What are your reasons? I value my continuing existence I will not play with someone who is likely to cause an accident because of stupidity......... accidents do happen, we all accept that risk, but he is a walking catastrophy waiting to happen.......not preflighting the plane is stupid and dust devils are serious shit!! and the BIG QUESTION is 3if you are in the plane and you get a report of ground winds that you think may be too much, do you ride the plane down? answer: YES......did it several times when I was around 40-200 jumps, and once last year ... we had a storm pass by, the winds which were howling dropped to near zero for 20 min, we figured it was safe and we could make one load before the next squall hit us......it hit us at 600' on takeoff, it threw the 206 completely on its side, the pilot managed to keep controll, *I dont think I was the only one who lost bladder function, he told us he was going around and we were to land with him, I wasnt sure of how well I would be able to handle 55mph gusty winds on a stiletto so he got no arguements out of me.....we fastened our seatbelts and said a few prayers..... we bought the pilot MUCHO beer that night........ 4-how much is too much? steady winds.......35+ gusty winds.....25+ There are many other reasons........ and all this depends on my confidence level that particular day, some days I may be a bigger puss than normal Roy They say I suffer from insanity....

I clear the nose, split the slider and wrap the tail, and shove it in the bag....as long as the lines are stowed neatly I dont worry too much about it, I get very nice openings consistently..... Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

The ouster of the Navy from Vieques, the cleaning and return of the land of Vieques to its people ok, someone call Jeff Foxworthy and get him to send em all signs that say "STUPID" and hang them around their necks......you do not bite the hand that feeds you and expect to continue to be fed...... It apparently wasnt thought through very well...... In this day and age, I find it amusing when someone, or some-people get what they really want...and then find out it aint so great after all.

How much can you really learn from a tandem? Well with the tandem portion of the progression; I suppose you would learn altitude awareness, upper body position (the TM cannot see your feet), turns, how to deploy, canopy control, landing patterns all with someone holding your hand, so to speak...... I think thats about it, then you have to enter the AFF portion of your training.....and your whole world changes.....but hopefully you will be less likely to freak out because you have been exposed to freefall right from the beginning.

But then again, I am the jerk that thinks you should have to actually be able to pack.....Spot.....not be afraid to jump without an AAD....Actually do the damn night jumps, or don't get a "D", and not whine about it.... apparently there are two jerks here.....

The only way to make sure you dont get screwed is to pay with escrow-you pay a holding company, they tell him they have the money, he shippes the rig, once it arrives you have several days to inspect the rig......then decide if its what you thought you were getting.....if you like it, you call the holding company they release the funds and he gets his money, if you dont like it, or its not what you thought, you send it back, the escrow service charges a small fee ( very reasonable ) and shipping costs apply of course...... do some research on it, and be carefull about anything you havent seen before Its "buyer beware" out there. good luck; Roy They say I suffer from insanity....

Everyone screws up from time to time, dont let it get to you, forgiveness is just a case of beer away!!

hell YES they should have to take mandatory tests to maintain their drivers license, my grandfather drove till he was 82, we witnessed him pulling across one adjacent lane and two oncoming lanes full of rush hour traffic at 45 mph to get home, no one got hit but that was due to the other motorists having great reflexes.......that was it for him, he argued with us that he had the right to do what he wanted.....and that he wasnt afraid to die.......... we tried to get him to understand that maybe the other people were .......... so we took and sold his car for him.........he was extremely pissed off at us for a while, but it kept him from killing someone, and I have no doubt that would have occured..
