  3. Following USPA guidelines is not manditory, it is up to the DZ if they want to be USPA members. The only thing that could be a problem with him not having a current rating is for his and the DZ's membership to the USPA. There is no federal regulation that regulates instructors. However, on the matter of the repack, that is breaking an FAR, there can be action taken on that. Flying Hellfish #31 "I'm not allowed to talk about it till after the trial" www.SkydiveTecumseh.com

  6. There already is, kind of. 800-SKYDIVE is already in place. It will connect you direct to a DZ in your area, it just needs to be promoted better. Flying Hellfish #31 "I'm not allowed to talk about it till after the trial" www.SkydiveTecumseh.com
  7. Not sure if dry cleaning will work, but I used some stuff call natures miracle to clean it up before and never noticed the smell again, or had a problem with the cat going there again. Flying Hellfish #31 "I'm not allowed to talk about it till after the trial" www.SkydiveTecumseh.com
  8. Had great results from my chiropractor. The curve in my neck was actually reversed from a drunken trampoline accident, and I didn't do anything about it for years. It was so bad the only movement in the vertibrate in my neck was in one spot. Got a ton of mobility back and very infrequent pain now.

    New PC

    I just built a very similar computer, same MB, but a 4200 chip. There is one thing that I noticed though, on the Ai Booster that comes with the A8N it shows my fsb at 800, isn't AMD supposed to be 1G?

  14. Mark's death is a a great loss to all of us that knew him, and everyone that never got the chance to know him. He will be missed dearly by all of us at Tecumseh. My sympathy to all his family and friends. Flying Hellfish #31 "I'm not allowed to talk about it till after the trial" www.SkydiveTecumseh.com
  15. Static line is usually the cheaper method because repeat jumps are cheaper. At our DZ to get a license under static line runs about 1600 and 2200 for AFF. I personally did S/L, but both programs have their pro's and con's.

  16. Welcome to the sport from another Michigan jumper. I did my first tandem at cantral 6 years ago and got hooked. Now I jump at Tecumseh, come and visit us sometime. Flying Hellfish #31 "I'm not allowed to talk about it till after the trial" www.SkydiveTecumseh.com
  17. Welcome to the sport. One thing to try to keep your upper body straight is to think about having a broom stick across your shoulders and turn like your stretching your lower back. Good luck on your level 3 and see you out at Tecumseh!!! Flying Hellfish #31 "I'm not allowed to talk about it till after the trial" www.SkydiveTecumseh.com

    There are a lot of different factors that can degrade a canopy. Sun exposure (Florida), dust and dirt (Arizona) and just general maintenance or how it is stored. I know people that have thousands of jumps on a canopy and it is ok. Your best bet is to have a rigger look at any used gear before you buy it if possible and not go by just jump numbers.

  20. Hey all you Hellfish out there, we are having the star spangled Hellfish boogie in Michigan at Skydive Tecumseh this weekend. Team Mayhem has issued a hybrid challenge, so make sure you come on out and join in on all the fun. Check out the web page for details, the link is below.

  21. Sorry to hear that Alana heal quick, and come out and visit all of us at Tecumseh again soon Flying Hellfish #31 "I'm not allowed to talk about it till after the trial" www.SkydiveTecumseh.com
  22. Definately try to make it. We just had him at our DZ here in Michigan and he puts on a great seminar. Flying Hellfish #31 "I'm not allowed to talk about it till after the trial" www.SkydiveTecumseh.com

  24. Skyride is nationwide and not limited to any state. They are based out of Georgia, that is why the complaint needs to be filed there. I have done business with them, I called them and they lied directly to me. Also we have had several of their customers come to our DZ very upset because of their dealings with skyride. I'm not wasting Georgia's tax dollars, skyride is by using unethical business practices and forcing people to take action against them.

  25. Here's proof that if you do something instead of just talk about it you can get results. I E-mailed fine living and told them the facts about Skyride (they had a link to them on their page about skydiving) and they removed it http://www.fineliving.com/fine/back_to_basics/article/0,1663,FINE_1408_2605346,00.html I also sent a complaint to the FTC and got this response: Thank you for recent correspondence. The Federal Trade Commission acts in the public interest to stop business practices that violate the laws it enforces. Letters from consumers and businesses are very important to the work of the Commission. They are often the first indication of a problem in the marketplace and may provide the initial evidence to begin an investigation. The Commission does not resolve individual complaints. The Commission can, however, act when it sees a pattern of possible violations developing. The information you have provided will be recorded in our complaint retention system. This computerized system enables us to identify questionable business practices that are generating numerous complaints and may be in violation of the law. Thank you for providing information that may be used to develop or support Commission enforcement initiatives. So take an active role and do something. I am also filing a complaint with Georgia's consumers affair office. You can find the link to both forms on my post here http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1643995#1643995 Be sure to use the company info on the BBB page if you file a complaint so all the complaints link to the same company in their databases.
