    thanks John for the explaination. I thought it was common practice to ask the potential jurors if a 3-5 day court case would be a hardship before selection began. and it should also have been fairly easy for her to get a rescheduling of her jury summons for a hardship case before she even showed up. wonder why she waited till the trial began?

    I've often wondered why there are seperate catagories for men and women in style and especially in accuracy. aren't those two disciplines something in which they could compete equally?

    darn, that's going to be the same weekend as the Florida POPS record jumps. bummer

    I would like to repeat what I advised you in a personal message - DON'T BUY SOMETHING TILL YOU HAVE JUMPED IT!

    agree totally - they have always been then when I needed something. they even replaced a pro-track that was riser slapped off the side of my pro-tec.

    now that you have a solo out of the way - pay a little exrta and get a coach to go with you - you will learn a lot more if you are with someone than by yourself. our dropzone requires a coach on jumps 8 - 18 and you have skills to learn on each one. have fun up there and be safe

    sent my name in to be on one of the teams - will have to bursh off what little 4way skills I have so I don't embarrass myself too much. looking forward to a fun weekend. 4 way on saturday and 16 way on sunday

    sorry to hear about the lack of local opportunites. just check out the various prices for Vegas and hopefully someone on there can steer you in the right direction. anyway - have fun!

    isn't there a better place to jump by where you live? it would be cheaper and easier. I would rather support my local dropzone than spend way too much money doing a tandem in Vegas. (just my personal opinion)

    on purpose???!!! was wondering how you were going to try to pull off some of those points while sitflying or on your head!

    got to do (very probably) the first SCR out of the jet in Quincy in 93(?). mostly all Skydive Houston folks. 10 of us - 4 out first, then SRC maggot and then 5 following. all met in the middle. did a big SCR ceremony in the main landing area that night. lots of people that had never seen a real Texas style SCR ceremony came out to watch. SCR recipient was Tina Fema from Houston

    just wanted to let everyone know what a fantastic time I had up at Skydive Burnaby for the Canadian POPs record jumps. the dropzone was beautiful - the manifest staff was super friendly, the pilots were great, and the skydivers were great. the weather was (I was told) much better than usual and we had 3.75 days of blue skys out of 4. and sunday the view in freefall was excellent - both shores of Lake Erie, the south shore of Lake Ontario, a great veiw of downtown Buffalo and of downtown Niagara Falls (could even see the falls). oh - we even set a new Canadian POPs record of 32 (up from 29) on the third attempt - and held it for 8 seconds. thanks for a great time!!

    and yet amazingly, they don't seem to understand that concept. they close us down and the property could conceively be sold to someone like a drag strip operator.

    yeah, poor bill, he couldn't jump at the competition, but he sure did a lot of touch and gos on the runway all morning saturday while we were jumping. we were always worried about a little yellow plane flying around in front of us. and the rumor was that he was the one that received the ticket for being on the runway with his dogs - but not really sure if that is true - but sure would be hilarious if it was!!

    so----- you were billgreened! as coined by pirana in the thread about a skydiver sueing a dropzone. (Sounds like a new verb in the making; billgreened. billgreened (bilgrend), v.,

    see the thread >>Poll: Should a USPA member who is suing to shutdown a USPA Group Member Drop Zone be allowed to jump at any USPA Group Member Drop Zone?
  25. propacker
    well - evidently a bunch (a small bunch - including a skydiver that jumps somewhere else) that live by the south end of our airport
