Safe to say Icarus customer service sucks....?

Good People Tony, Attila, Laszlo and Jyro. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -
What do you mean one more funeral to go? Did Rob die? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Maybe you are right. He may have been using Tires instead of tyres. That might have affected it by 25 seconds. Anyway, I thought we were speaking english here. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

sure they would make a huge difference but not that big a difference in this case. Surely not twenty five seconds. It's not like the Godzilla comes out of the factory with your average tyres. I mean the tyres on the Godzilla would be pretty close to being the best road tyres on the market. I can't imagine slicks making a difference of twenty five seconds. Also, were the weather conditions the day Porsche went out exactly the same? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

my brother got a Godzilla a few years ago. I could not believe that he got his inheritance and went out and paid a hundred grand for a car he was not allowed to first test drive. When I went back home I was blown away by him watching him take it out on the track with his mates Ferrari (we come froma big Asian community, if youvan imagine fast and the furious but in the suburbs). Cars are everything in our little area. He sold his last year when he bought my parents house off them. He now drives a Evo. Personally I would love a Evo but I suppose it is a big step down for him. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

we left this thread to die. How come someone bought it back to the front page? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

actually no. What you should do right now as the usd is stronger than ever today, over the last five hours it has gone up against the gbp. You should contact HIFX and open an account with them and put your savings in to their bank. Then buy gbp with it. Keep it in their account until the usd gbp goes back up and them buy usd. The gbp on Thursday was worth 1.86 usd Five hours ago it was worth 1.80. Just now it is worth 1.77 I have a shot Load of money in their as Gbp waiting for it to go back to around 1.85 ad wollthen buy usd. Once the nail out has been announced it will go back to around 1.90. The usd is gettig stronger against all currencies while this bail out is not looking so good The reason I know this is because I have been monitoring this every 30 minutes for the past month. I have thirty thousand that I am waiting to exchange so my post is dead serious. It will drop slot more before Thursday and then on Friday will be more stable depending if re bailout is passed. It has to be passed or the world is stuffed. If by Friday it is not passed I will bite the bullet. I just wish I was in your shoes and had I the otherway round where I would instead have usd and be able to right now buy gbp and then change it back when the usd gets weaker. Most people probably think all this going on makes the usd weaker but it is actually making it very strong. It has not been this strong in two years. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Scott was a technical advisor or something to that extent for the episode that had them doing the the skydiving in it. (i think this is the episode). They were always bringing The Unit back. I always thought it would just be a sort of 'A-Team' show. I like how they found a way to make it more than that. I think the actors really make this show. Blain and Mack are two people i would not want to run into on my camel. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Paraconcepts is the Icarus Licensed service center. I would go straight to them rather than the person who sold you the canopy. They will just be going to them anyway .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -
When big man said to Snakedoctor "You are the line in the sand". Did that mean he is telling snakedoctor that he is the guy who has to keep mack and him seperated for the trial? Kind of like 'you stop the sand kicking.'. Or was it more in reference to the mission they were heading out to?. It seemed to me that it was more about it was his duty to make sure he got a fair trial. I am so happy that he finally knows, perfect way to start the season. I just hope we get to see him beat some serious shit out of him. Brilliant show this. Must have something to do with 'Loudiamond' working on it a while back .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Well he is not getting good customer service from his USA Icarus department is he. Seeing Icarus is made in Spain, would it not be better for him to go straight to the people in charge to sort out his problem? My guess is he sent it off to their repair centre(a DZ gear store) and got charged for the work he had done on it instead of actually sending it back to Icarus. Sedning it back to Icarus would involve sending it to Spain, Where Icarus is located and built (apart from the canopies built in New Zealand) Aerdoyne has a rep in Europe, however european customers dont go to him to get canopy issues sorted out, they go to the company he works for that is located in the USA. Why would you not go straight to the source? When i deal with american manufacturers, i phone them up in america. When i deal with spanish manufacturers i phone them up in spain. If he is not getting the service he thinks he deserves then I am certain their head office wants to hear about it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

are you going straight to the top dog? Or to one of his USA guys? If you want instant god service, phone Icarus in Spain and ask to speak to hector. I know he provided the service I needed when I had enough with the other avenues. He is also a top guy and the main man for Icarus. I'm sure he will look after you. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -
How the fuck did you get a Micron before me? Thanks for the stories guys, keep em coming. Those that want to bitch about the skyhook, or just explain pros and cons. how about taking to one of thos other threads..... This is for stories on those that have used the skyhook. Please dont ruin the thread with your same old bullshit you contribute to all the other skyhook threads. With all due respect, cant we just have one thread in this entire site that remains on subject? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I cant find that thread for some reason about the guy who was waiting so long on his kit. I am wondering if he ever got it? Has it arrived yet mate? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Note added by slotperfect by request of the OP: this thread is for posting real Skyhook activation stories and the discussion thereof. This thread is not intended to be a discussion of the pros/cons of the Skyhook. Hey all, Now the skyhook has been out and about a while and people have seemed to make their mind up about it instead of just debating it I am wondering if some of you guys have stories you would like to share about it and when you used and how you found it. The reaosn I ask is because I have alot of people ask me about it as there are not so many demos of the product in Europe. So these guys dont get to hear about it in action or see it. So if you have a skyhook and you have had it activate I would love to hear what the situation was and how you found the end result. I ask this for educational purposes. Yes, there is tons of threads on the skyhook but they are debating it, I would like to see this thread being one where people that have had it activate can share their story so we can have a thread to learn from their experience. I would like to read about others experiences. Please share.... .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Yeah, i dont think you need to be deployed either, you just need to be active? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

For those of you who dont want to give the tapes to the cops because you are looking out for the sport..... Well fucking done. I am sure this bullshit is really looking out for the sport, a bunch of skydivers in a pissing match over one of our brothers misfortune. http://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Tandem+-+Jonesville,+NC+-+13+Sept+2008 .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

If the police are on the scene of a death for an investigation, surely they do not need a warrant to carry out the investigation on the crime scene? Would that not make everything on the crime scene 'evidence', even it turns out at the end of their investigation that it in fact is not a 'crime scene' but just the 'scene of an accident'? On top of that, Do police not have the right to search and confiscate with 'reasonable cause'? Like they dont need to get a warrant to enter a premises if they see a guy shot in the head behind the counter? Sure, I can understand that if their was a death on a dz and then a day or two later they came to your home and asked for the camera that they may need a warrant then if you practise your rights. My questions come from having a family full of cops, One in particular who is a Inspector detective senior sargent who i use to go and watch in court during his days as a police prosecutor in New Zealand. Actually on that note, MY some of you guys may have read about my uncle, A chinese man killed his wife in new zealand, left his daughter at a train station/airport in Australia and fled to America where my uncle started his international manhunt until some guys in china town captured the killer. Pretty sure it was a big deal in L.A. for a while. Footnote: I like to have rights and i stand up for them but in this situation it sounds like the best thing would be to give it to the coppers with no hassles or maybe give it to the USPA's FAA member (thinking you have someone like that in place?) so they can make sure it is done the correct way that is looking out for the interest of the sport of skydiving. Also, if you did hand it over yourself, they would have to return it once the investigation is over? Correct me if that is wrong. Surely if you gave it to the USPA to deal with it they would make sure that a copy was kept for official USPA/FAA records? Spence- I'm sorry for the bad taste that has been left in your mouth from Dublin, I can picture it as cops can abuse their power very easily-without even realising they are abusing it. though it sounds like your guys were abusing their power and knowing they were. Disclaimer: I am not trying to argue with anyone. Please do not attack me if am wrong as I am a skydiver who is just trying to join in a BONFIRE discussion on dropzone.com with a friendly smile and nothing more.

Just been reading that one of the long time posters here Rob has had an unfortunate skydiving accident. I am not really the sending 'Vibes' kind of guy but he has been a big time contributer here over the past few years and I just want to wish him a speedy recovery. From the sound of the incidents sustained he is has come off very lucky and I just hope that is the case. On the flipside of it all I hope Francis Wootten III's family will be able to come to terms with what has happened and remember that he obviously left this world doing something he would have loved with all his heart as skydiving is usually the one of the strongest passions us jumpers have in life after family and friends. Blues Skies Francis and Heal fast Rob! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Sunrise rigging offers 50% off the base price of any Wings and 15% off the price of any options to military customers. Chuck I think you will find it is only 40% now. This was in their distributor news letter when they had a price increase. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
