    This is a funny thread for BASE jumpers...
    You can compare it to any Skydiving discusion you have with Whuffos... :-)

    --------------------

    This is true, but the problem is 99% of the rest of the people who see this ARE Whoffos. For the most part, a BASE jumper and a skydiver are the same and in their minds. Thus giving EVERYONE who puts a rig on their back bad press. Very similar to some guy doing something with not much room for error on a motorcycle, it gives ALL motorcycle riders bad press.

    Who needs it????

  6. It's about time somebody brought up that fact! Paul could screw a light bulb in before the accident.... Now he just has to remember which end goes in the socket!

  7. Cool pics, I used to play around with SEMs when I was a kid. Of course it helped that my dad was involved with designing some of the first SEM at Argon National Labs & later at a company he started in Sunnyvale, CA in the the late 60s (Coates and Welter Instrument Coporation)

    Now look at me, I jump out of planes......
    Ye Ha

  13. The "Johnny Luv Roll"

    quote from: http://www.svcn.com/archives/campbellreporter/20040204/ca-cover1.shtml

    The most common naming convention, however, is to name the sushi after a favorite customer. TGI's Sushi, for example, has a roll named after one of its first customers: Johnny "Luv" Horton, a technical sergeant in the U.S. Air Force who was killed in a training accident at Ft. Hunter Liggett, Calif., in 2002.

    The Johnny Luv roll is one of TGI's best-selling items, made with baked crab, scallops and avocado topped with a special sauce of various spices and mayonnaise.

    As an AFF instructor, I am ignorant to the process, but I think it's proven that the AFF progression is a better learning method.



    I would suggest that you learn more about the SL program before you make such an opinion.



    Just an FYI, that was meant to be taken as a question, not an opinion.

    Thanks for all of the good info.

  • Just curious why learning to skydive is still offered via static line. As an AFF instructor, I am ignorant to the process, but I think it's proven that the AFF progression is a better learning method. Of course you need two JMs for the lower levels, maybe that's part of it, my other thought is that there are some long running DZs that have SL instructors, but not AFF???

    Any way, just curious.
    Thanks
