binkster 2 #201 April 13, 2005 im not here to bash I was treated unfairly and this forum is for that so I let people know what happened and thats it. I guess with 7 thousand views and a 50/50 your right and your wrong reply I dont feel so bad now.I have gotten emails from people complainin about his practices at Mirage and agreements on his attitude towards customers needs to be a bit better so I feel somewhat justified. I do feel somewhat bad for PD through all this but maybe somethin can be learned here. One bad apple can ruin the whole lot! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep there it is folks, he is out for vengence for being mistreated by the big, bad PD. I don't give a &^%$ about who approved him, who refused or what time he was called, because I am never selling him squat. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #204 April 13, 2005 Quoteand a 50/50 your right and your wrong reply Umm, sorry to burst your bubble but it's more like 5 - 100. No one's saying you don't have a right to complain. I think (at least from my standpoint) that people are more bothered on HOW you went about it. Blues, IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
binkster 2 #205 April 13, 2005 sorry i have a need for speed and other people without that need like to critisize cause they dont have that need or are afraid of the possibilities in this sport. whether jumpin a 190 or crossbrace every jump is life threatening. Why cant i be the judge when i am approved for a canopy by people who know my abilities but people who dont get to say no cause i was mad a t 6 am when he called Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gemini 0 #210 April 13, 2005 Oh so you didn't talk to PD at 6AM, you listened to a voicemail that came in at 6AM? And by the way, I am not impressed and don't make threats. I'm just gona' make sure I don't sell you anything. Not a threat, but a promise. Good luck with your jumping career. I hope I never have to read your incident report.

ianmdrennan 2 #211 April 13, 2005 Quotei never was offered a free demo for any problems i may have had Yes you were. I hope you fly a canopy better than you read. ps: I never did see a post about what size/canopy you were trying to get. I assume it was a Katana from Kolla's post. So you're quick to through around accusations, but not so quick to offer up all the details. Funny how that works.Performance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why cant i be the judge when i am approved for a canopy by people who know my abilities but people who dont get to say no cause i was mad a t 6 am when he called You really don't get it, do you? Don't talk to me about a need for speed, because I have it, but that doesn't make me any less cautious. If you ever doubt that statement, we'll get a couple of track-ready super-sport motorcycles together and let's see if you can keep pace. But I didn't just jump to a super sport bike, nor did I jump to a canopy I wasn't ready for. Sure, I jump a Stiletto, but it's a 190. However, I'll bet you that I can still do everything on Billvon's downsizing list and when I throw a 90 I can hit the gates almost 10 for 10. But, since I can't always do it 10 for 10, that's why I'm not rushing to do 180's, etc... Luckily, I know my limits, you don't seem to. Fortunately, it sounds like PD is at least looking out for you even if you aren't. There's a reason why those who start out slow and cautiously seem to overtake their more aggressive peers faster, and with a lot less broken bones in the process. Your attitude needs an sdjustment, especially as to how to deal with others.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LawnDart21 0 #213 April 13, 2005 Kris, Its a nice change to hear someone with such a responsible outlook on canopy progression. Binkster, Just remember: If you swoop, eventually you will crash. It's only a matter of time and how much pain is involved. How much pain is entirely up to you. -- My other ride is a RESERVE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #218 April 13, 2005 QuoteListen Mr. Bill Removed Because of Weirdos. This isn't Talkback, how about we keep this discussion away from licking elbows and get back to the point of using online forums for one sided slandering for when you act like a child a therefore get treated like a child. By the way, did you know that applying ice cream is a great way to eliminate dry skin on your elbow? Sand paper does the trick nicely also. When I feel like doing CrW I don't bath for a couple days. It makes it all the more sweeter. ...
