Push 0 #2 January 5, 2003 What is CAPS anyway? I know it stands for Canadian Association of Professional Skydivers, but other than that... They don't even have a webpage per se, as I understand. They do, but it's under construction. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever happened to CAPS? Hadn't heard anything about Beiseker, but there was a discussion on CSPA chat about CAPS 3rd Party Insurance not being renewed, resulting in CAPS being no more.

murrays 0 #4 January 5, 2003 Looks to me like CAPS is probably defunct. Apparently the CAPS third party insurance was cancelled by one of the directors without anybody else's knowledge a while back. Christine Mank (a strong CAPS supporter from the beginning) thinks it is over. So, something has happened but I have no definitive news. Jim Mercier getting out of the sport is pretty big news.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murrays 0 #10 January 5, 2003 You might have the CAPS pages in your browser cache. Try flushing your cache. I get a page from Network Solutions saying this domain name is registered with them. I think they have let their domain name lapse. Which is possible if they have stopped operating.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
