Gravity doesn't care what you look like. And it is all about gravity... Scars remind us that the past is real

Not from lack of trying... I still say that golf cart was driven off of the roof... Scars remind us that the past is real

There are a bunch that jump at Raeford, but I'm not sure they are on dizzy. send me a message and I will hook you up with the ones I know. Scars remind us that the past is real

Yeah but this one was first and it is 106 I think. You are on this arent you? Kallend, it was Mike and John. But if you go by JPs definition (which I thought quite nice) - the free flyers are NOT docked on the formation. For all we know, the exited too soon after the previous group and just happened in on them... So back to the original question - whats the largest hybrid per JP's definition? (i.e. docked freeflyers on flatflyers?) Edited to add: We did a very nice 16-way hybrid at Raeford a few weeks back. See attached. Scars remind us that the past is real

Yep - we'll be jumping. Jump Scars remind us that the past is real

Nope. We have a PAC 750, Twin Otter and a Cessna (and a few weekends ago- all three were running all day long

heh - guess I need to get out more. First thought through my head was "Who the hell is Travis Pastrana?" Scars remind us that the past is real

I take exception with this statement. It is basically relying on vertical separation. If anyone in the first group has a premature deployment or if anyone in the second group has a high speed malfunction, this vertical separation is instantly negated. Ask yourself how many premature deployments or high speed malfunctions happen each year. The only reason this is not a problem is because we put the slower falling (and therefore those that will drift more) out first. If the trend of wanting to put FF out first due to the "altitude separation" continues, I predict there will be many more mid-air collisions at break off. Scars remind us that the past is real

Or Rob Wardell. He is the on DZ rigger at Raeford. Just ask for Rigger Rob. Scars remind us that the past is real

illegal drug use during jumping...and use period I guess. But I can choose not to hang out afterwards

That first image reminds me of a warp core on the Enterprise. Scars remind us that the past is real

heh - let me know who is giving you grief... Jump Scars remind us that the past is real

No material samples, but I was handed a bag of grommets and had to pull out the right ones when asked. Scars remind us that the past is real

You think that shit is free. I said that USPA is upping our renewal fees anyway. They should cover this at least. Give us something for the increased price. I'm going to assume that really didn't read the post based on the other commets as well. Back to instructing. Later. Scars remind us that the past is real

I agree with a one-year coach rating, but disagree with the current 6 hours of freefall and would rather see a minimum jump number. Why? One person got his AFF rating after around 300 jumps, most of them wingsuit. He'd never once coached a student. How about a different approach to this? What if there were a yearly recertification? Not the current pencil whip on the form (that I am sure most instructors are honest on) but an in-air and in-classroom recertification? I put this out there after thinking about my time in the military - we shoot all the time. Be we still have to requalify on a periodic basis. If you don't make the grade, you go for remedial training until you do qualify. Since USPA is continually upping the renewal fees all of the time, they could provide this mechanism to us as a way of justifying the increases. It would also generate the statistics everyone wants. If a group of AFFIs trained by certain I/Es consistently fail to requalify, then we have something to investigate. I would be glad to do this as it would keep me honest and give me much needed quantitative feedback on how I am progressing as an Instructor. Thoughts? Scars remind us that the past is real

I will be there I am in for a dizzydot jump. wait...wait..wait. Rick. Rick. Did you have a pop up camper at the T-day boogie next to the war wagon (aka Raeford South?) Jump yes I did The Mobile Muff Trailer I was driving the war wagon. Nice to finally meet you

Yeah, I was there Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Where were you? Doing 8-way and 16-way

You were there?? Hiding? Scars remind us that the past is real

If you know something the rest of us don't out with it. If not STFU. Sparky Fine. Glenn Bangs and Ben Butler have been long time friends. That's what I was told. There, it's out. gotta love the intraweb thingy. Scars remind us that the past is real
