  1. They confiscate them because they are evidence of a crime. I think the question should be why does no one get them back. I would figure that it would be because the guilty party does not fight to get it back. Or that the juge grants fofiture of the articals in the court decision. Just as they do in drug cases. -------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it. But if you go be sure you can make it back.
  2. The way I see it is. I spent alot of time and money getting my "coach ratting". And I consider my self good at it. If some one is wanting to utelize me as a "coach" than I would expect to be compensated. If you want to just jump I will be more than happy to cover my slot and if I can help you in the prosses I will. So if you are wanting them to use the skills that they had to pay for to get the rating then yes. If you just want to have fun or if they didn't have to pay for a rating than why should you have to pay for their time. When as we all know some one along the way gave up thier time for them? -------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it.

  3. I had trouble with this. It is farly common. If your suit is off your body should naturaly compansate. You problem is probly you are flying the subject and not "your slot". Look throught the subject to a fixed point and use it as your heading. Use your periferal vision tho keep the subject in frame. Once you get use to it you will be able to look at differant things without changing your camera or your position. -------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it.

  5. Hey that's great but who said I acepted tip's? I'm not an AFF instructor (yet). But I am instuctor. So I would still think it is a tip. So I'll be sure to add more to it and send it on. Who knows maby by the time we are done we can give some one who would love to skydive but can't a great pressent. -------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it.

  7. As a costomer first I was so impressed that I wanted to become a dealer. With that said I wanted to tell a littel story. I had one of my friends hook it in and break her femur. Needless to say the medics cut off her rig. And you know how well they cut!! I sent it to sunrise for her to have it repaired. We had it back within 2.5 weeks (long before she was jumping again). The best part of all was their was no charge to her. Sunrise covered the repair and I covered the shipping. Others my say their are better rigges out their. But as a dealer I garantee NO ONE has better costomer service. P.S. I just wanted to add I would never expect a company to go that far out of their way but it is nice when they do. -------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it.

    Of corse I use stumbeler and a Magelan GPS. Your problem is you card. I hate linksys cards. They make great AP's but the cards don't have that much power. As for the G. The only real advantage is it goes to 54M insted of 11M. But when you are on a 7M pipe that is as fast as you will go. Also as far as I know lynksys does not make a card with an exturnal antena port. -------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it.

    "I go wardriving only when I need to (re: on the road). Most access points are only 802.11b and are very unstable from the curb. It is good enough for the necessary email and web surfing, but until 802.11g becomes more prevalent, I wouldn't even bother." I do it all the time it works great. You might try getting an antena. I can go 2 blocks. I love it when I find one on a 7M dsl or a good cable modem. Can you say file is downloaded? Probley not as fast as I can get it. It's not the cards MAC add. I would wory about but the computers. -------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it.

    And is there any system to get around this? Not unless you know how to completly spoof your IP addy and all other relevant info. You could alwase do wardriving and if you are woried about MAC add. I have heard their are programms to spoof that. The problem isnt the program it is that when you download it tracks them to you. Another thing I would do is move the files out of the shaired file this is how they see how many programs you have. But then again if every one does that than no one will have acc. to any files. So the man gets the result he is looking for. -------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it.

  14. A little over 30 years involvement this sport.

  17. "In the end though, it all comes down to the canopy pilot. Weaker pilots will downsize quickly to compensate for the fact they can not fully use the potential of their current canopy. Strong pilots can swoop a spectre 170 halfway down a football field (because they can!)." I like this statment. I donn't think anyone could say it better. -------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it.

    Tipping

    I tend not to use a % basis. If you suck you will recive $.01 just so you know that I did not forget. If it is great service their is no top. It is all about how much I thought your time was worth. If you are having a bad day I am sorry for that but if you let it affect your service to me and make me have a bad day your day will get worse. If you want my money show me that you care and are willing to take the time to earn it. If you expect me to pay a tip you probly wont get a great one. -------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it.

  22. "Come hang with me for 4-5 days for a 'weekend' show...2 or 3 jumps total! Hump heavy gear in the hot summer sun, while being professionally pleasant to thousands of people that ask the same questions and make the same remarks." Where do I sign up?
