What can we do about Skyride?
cmgolden replied to ChasingBlueSky's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Speaking of the lawsuit, on 10/21, a stipulation was filed extending the defendants' time to answer (or move to dismiss, etc.) until 11/14/2005. Appearing specially for the defedants is E. Jeffrey Walsh. ttp://www.gtlaw.com/biographies/biography.asp?id=1787 -

Another good example of this is the Hammer (13). Shannon Pilcher explains the straight vs. curved hammer on 4way.org: http://4way.org/training/answers.htm#13

Methinks if it were only that easy, we'd already have changed the rules. ;) Opinion Poll - Requires quick registration.

Good point about the advanced/open distinction, but how would the USPA define "professional?" Would there be a committee that decides? What would the definition be? Is it a professional skydiver? (e.g. Tandem instructor). A professional 4-way skydiver? (does this include 4-way coaches??) What if I get free jumps from the DZ, but don't get paid anything additional. Am I a professional? I agree some method of restriction might be helpful, but it seems anything but giving the team the choice (like is the case now) would be hard to manage. I believe the the current rule only limits the classes to non-medal-holding teams. That I agree with at the least. (e.g. Teiwaz shouldn't sit in Advanced, in order to collect medals year after year).

I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I too choose to make a longer drive to Skydive Atlanta in Thomaston. While I ocasionally jump at other GA DZs, I keep going back (and sending tandems) to Thomaston.
