I have seen pins bend even when done correctly according to the manual . I have watched master riggers that have packed a hundred reflex's bend temp pins . It is not a good idea to use the closing pin to seat the pilot chute . It does make it easier by eliminating one step but I would rather take an extra two minutes .

Much much faster now . Thanks .

Take a rigging course . Rigging inovations even has advanced skills courses .

U.S. defense contractor sells restricted materials to foreign government . U.S. government finds out and starts war . Defense contractor now sells more equipment to U.S. government to help fight war to recover material that it sold . What a viscous fucking circle .

McGowan has shot photos and video for me and after the jump was done he handed me a roll a film . I paid to have it processed and have the enlargements made . I did have another set of negatives done and sent the originals back to him to do with as he pleased . He did not ask for that . I have had a few other published photographers do this the same way . I strongly believe that the cameraman MUST be credited for the work in the credits . If you buy prints that have a copyright on them then you are wrong to use them . In Michele's case what she did was the only way she was going to have ANY video to go with her story . I don't blame her one bit .

The only rights of the school in this matter is to use the film for its own advertising or whatever they want to use it for . You sign that right away when you waiver at most dz's . EVERY cameraman I know is a sub contractor as there is no insurance carrier that would touch that one for a price a dz can afford . If you pay for a cameraman you own the product but I can still use it too if I kept a copy of it . If I film you without pay , I own the product . If there is the proper wording in the dz's waiver I can sell the film .

First off Jack , sorry about the greedy bastard comment . I still think it would have been good to let her jump . This still smells of dz politics to me . I have seen other dz owners and managers fall all over themselves to get coverage on any local channel let alone ESPN . I have watched dz owners give away 20 jump tickets to fill a load at 6:30 am for a free tandem to a news producer . I heard they got close to a hundred tandems for their initial outlay and that is the ones they can say for sure .The camera man that shot the film was paid $75.00 for his efforts and even shot a free roll of film for the producer . He told them do what you want with the footage as long as he could keep a copy and use it for himself .The dz operator said he figured that the take was close to $15,000 for his minimal outlay of cash . There is a thing in advertising that is called a lost leader . You lose very little money up front but when someone comes in to the store most of the time they buy more than that one lost leader item . The profits can be HUGE . I shoot video from time to time and I would love to see my photos on tv or in print as long as I am given credit for shooting them . I think the photographers are missing the point in this too . It is called exposure . I would have never known about some of the photographers at perris if it was not from this forum . Having your name in the credits can mean a lot to you when the right person sees it . I think that if the guys that shot her student footage got their names in the credits it could be a big boost to their careers . If I was trying to scrape out a living at a dz doing video , I would see this as a missed opportunity . I would be pissed at the person that blocked this from happening . If I owned the dz I would pissed that I missed free national coverage on ESPN .There is a much larger picture here that I think Jack is missing . Think outside the box . Play the media to your advantage . Give away something and it will come back to you .

No flames from me speedracer . I say profile away . Has anyone heard about the woman made to drink a few bottles of her own breastmilk ?

Hey Rachel , it sounds like you are jealous because Michele is going to be on tv and not you . From what I have read here about her , her "daddy" does not support her . If he did why does she not have multiple sets of gear and a thousand jumps by now ? Personally , if I was your girlfriend I would dump you for airing dirty laundry on a public forum . It sounds like you are trying to hurt your girlfriend and discredit her in front of other jumpers . Sounds like you are the one with a problem .

There is also a box that intercepts the incoming call and tells them to enter a security code .No code no ring .

Since Jack would not let you jump maybee you edit out the name Perris Valley . That just sucks . It would have been good advertising . Greedy bastard .
