JohnRich 4 #101 November 5, 2009 So, Betsy, with $6 million in hand, what kind of neat jump planes are you guys going to purchase for us to jump out of? How about a 727? Oh, and I don't believe you have a swimming pool there yet, either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #103 November 5, 2009 That's fantastic! I'm not a fan of skydivers sueing skydivers, but in this case I think it's justified. A few more like this might be enough to make them either play nicely or leave the pack for good. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I don't recall you EVER being the "bad guy" except to B&C's supporters. IMHO, they don't count. Congrats to you and all involved. BB = Big Balls. My reality and yours are quite different.

futuredivot 0 #116 November 9, 2009 The guy I spoke with had been on his local news scam alert segment over their issues. He wasn't aware of this lawsuit and was very interested in the fact that you can pursue Skyride and win. Funny thing was when I mentioned SR he had the same look as if I had asked how many guys had nailed his daughter.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #124 November 14, 2009 QuoteHow is that "dirty"? I am just gonna throw this out there, and anybody can take it for whatever it is, Glenn Bangs is on USPA's executive board, is he not? Wasn't he the president during the previous term? Without consulting an old issue of Parachutist, I can't be sure. So he and Ben Butler are old friends, going well back before Skyride came out. I'd find it hard to believe they didn't have some sort of back room deal or something. I also found it curious that Ben left Skyride, exactly when I'm not sure. Sealing that court deal between USPA and Skyride as confidential had many of us upset and suspicious that something dirty went on behind closed doors. That little friendship fact is just a small piece of the puzzle they don't want us to solve.
