rhino 0 #1 June 21, 2002 o.k. I have heard one too many times people saying so and so is going to break bones because he is on too small of a canopy for 300 jumps..Whatever.. No one said this to me just in general..If you don't have confidence in yourself that is fine, but don't go telling people that THEY WILL GET HURT it's just a matter of time.. That's bullshit.. That is bad form and shit talk at it's best..Each and every one of us knows the inherent risks involved in whatever facet of skydiving we are in.. If you have 300 jumps and you have done your homework and you are a good pilot then it is your choice if you want to load a canopy above 2.0.. Bad form... Enough bad shit is happening to our fellow brothers and sisters without us speaking more bad shit on them.Speak onto others what you want spoken onto you and if you feel like criticizing someone the best place to start is in the mirror..My rant is over... I hope no one gets hurt. I wish everyone no matter how aggressive they are nothing but fun and excitement.. Be safe..Rhino Blue Skies ..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #2 June 21, 2002 Rhino,I'm certainly not hoping people get hurt either, but many jumpers are proving that they do NOT have the judgement or education to be jumping the canopy they do. I'm not an officialy Canopy Nazi (tm), but it isn't rocket science. It is the jumper's choice, but if I think they are being a dumbass, I don't have to jump with them or near them, and I sure don't want to be around when they hook in out of their stupidity. So if I say I think they are being an idiot, that is MY choice. They don't have to listen.Just another $.02.Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #3 June 21, 2002 I just said it....and I'll say it again. No one with 300 jumps needs to be flying a sub 100 cross braced eliptical. Period. Why.....yep I'm selfish...It's all just because I don't want to be doing CPR on someone until the ambulance shows up. That shit is really tiring. I'm glad that person left. Now, all I have to do is HEAR the story instead of SEEING it and being involved in it. My life is much more simple that way. "Here I come to save the BOOBIES!"

rhino 0 #4 June 21, 2002 Saying he is an idiot is one thing.. But saying he is going to break his leg in the next day or so is b.s.I'm with you.. I don't fly around idiots either.. That is the choice we have but putting yourself in a higher "risk category" is your choice and yours alone, concerning small canopies for example..The fact of life is you usually get what you speak. You don't like people saying jfields is going to break his leg this week you can bet on it, so don't do it to others that is all I am saying.. I'm not saying you did just using an example.There is nothing wrong with teaching these so called idiots so they can live longer and not hurt the rest of us that aren't dangerous.. Just don't speak bad physical misshaps on others.Rhino Blue Skies ..... Free::: No one??? That is a bold statement.. With my whopping 300 jumps I happen to LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF MY CROSSFIRE2, 97 loaded at 1.85. I am not going to hurt myself.. And anyone who speaks that on me can kiss my ass...

They wouldn't necessarily be wishing ill on me, just sadly be predicting it.Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites freeflir29 0 #6 June 21, 2002 I don't remember calling him an idiot. If I did I apologize. He's actually a pretty smart guy. He is just young, has big cajones, and thinks he is invincible. I don't know much about skydiving but I know he is fucking up. The only reason I write about it is because I KNOW he lurks here. A lot!! I hope he reads it and pays attention. My hopes aren't high for that since he hasn't listened to all the other people that have tried to tell him not to fly that canopy. I doubt I will make any difference but at least it's not on my concience any more. I said my peace and he didn't listen. Thats all I can do. I'm not his mother. "Here I come to save the BOOBIES!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites rhino 0 #7 June 21, 2002 If those same people were skilled enough to make that statement then they should be teaching not judging someone into the ground..A little good form would be nice where that is concerned.. Don't you agree?? Rhino Blue Skies ..... free::: Is he a good pilot? Is he picking the brain of the best swoopers and learning from the best? Maybe everyone should let him fly?? I mean?? If he is good?? I am with you.. I don't want anyone to get hurt either..Like Hook said, I hope ALL of our bags of experience fill up before our bag of luck runs out..L= LaborU= UnderC= CorrectK= KnowledgeYou can make your own luck my doing your homework and practicing..
