  3. reading back through this makes me miss so many people. Chille. anyone see or hear from him? JT. He was on my wifes facebook but after his mom passed away he kind of faded off, and wingnut. Haven't heard from him in god knows how long and mouth. Havent heard from her in years either. Lots of amazing people have just faded off..

  5. That's false. They put together a narrow view point for a specific market.. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose.
  6. I'm not opposed to it. The government does nothing better then the open market nothing. Even the military, We have the greatest military on earth in spite of the Bureaucracy not because of it. I read a lot of what was written and I can see sort of why, but fear mongering of the liberal left is the biggest thing I took away from reading that. So I am not with the USPA president on this issue. I know John Mitchell has a awesome retirement plan and his boy just got in so the vested interest he has for his family I see but for the country we have to start making some serious changes. Its got to start someplace and if everyone says I want a balanced budget as long as you don't touch MY MONEY we will never ever get anywhere..

  8. No what's disgusting is everyone excuses temper tantrums. But from the people siding with the grown man acting like a 3 year old it isn't surprising. The other folks that got bumped didn't throw a fit. They didn't like it but they didn't break into a fit and interfere with the flight. This guy broke the law and should have gone to jail. NO ONE has a right to a seat on a plane. You bought the OPPROTUNITY to fly which can be revoke at anytime for any reason after volunteers have been asked for and refused. PERIOD. This person refused to leave then he ran back on the plane and ran up and down the isle. His behavior is appealing as is all of those defending this ;spoiled selfish brat behavior. Last thing if anyone on that plane actually cared about him being a "doctor" any of them could have stepped up and took his place.

  10. Sigh. He did NOT lie. He was asked a specific question. Did you discuss the Election as a member of trumps campaign with the Russians. NO that is not a lie. He was not asked did he meet with any Russian as a Senator because that would be retarded as that's his job. Just because you are not capable of comprehension doesn't mean someone lied. It means you are incapable of comprehension. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

  11. Does it hurt? I can only imagine it must hurt really bad to be that..... He didn't lie. He was asked a pointed question. Did he speak to the Russians ABOUT the campaign. NO he did not. He was not asked did he speak to any Russian because well that would be retarded to ask as he was on the Armed Services committee so they already knew he spoke to someone form Russia as that was his JOB! He was not a member of Trumps election team he was a Senator whose Job it was to speak to foreign diplomats..So I ask again does it hurt?

  14. I searched and didn't say that anyone has posted this yet. I know skydivers all over the world know and Love Axel and Yoko so this is just heartbreaking. I am just heart broken to see this especially after losing Steve Osbourne last year to AML 5. Our personal and business fight has been against Leukemia and lymphoma through the L&L Foundation so these stories are not new to us but they don't get easier they just keep getting harder. :( Just so so sad for Yoko and their little girls to see their Husband and daddy go through this. Axel and Yoko have given so much to the world of skydiving please keep them in your prayers.. I know we aren't supposed to post gofundme links so I wont but if you want to find it just copy and paste this to the end of the gofundme dot com and it should come up axel-zohmanns-fight-against-leukem Here is the information from the page. We know life is never fair, but please take a moment to spare a thought and donation for our friend and colleague, Axel Zohmann. At just 48 years old, Axel has an aggressive form of Leukemia that requires immediate further action, guaranteed to test the limits of the family and finances to the maximum. Over the years, Axel has made a huge impact on many of us. He and Yoko were a world champion skydiving team where he was always there with a helping hand, coaching, and advice. He has a long history in the Indoor skydiving world where he has made an impact at tunnels at Eloy, Airkix in the U.K. and iFLY as Regional Manager looking after a number of tunnels. He’s hired, influenced and changed the lives of countless iFLY team members. He just recently left Indoor Skydiving to set up his own business to assist his father. Only a few weeks after starting his new career, he was diagnosed with Leukemia. Owing to the treatment and the required location of it, there is huge strain on the family and finance. As a friend and colleague over the years, you will know that Axel was always there to help- now it’s our turn. With Axel's massive positive attitude and Yoko's amazing organizational skills, we know that the family will get through this. And let's not forget the role of their two children who are now well educated in this disease and in a good place to support their dad whilst continuing school. Details of the diagnosis and treatment are below, please do read on but we ask you to dig deep for Axel just as he has done for others. Axel got diagnosed with an aggressive version of Leukemia (AML M7, acute type, with a chromosome translocation) mid-November last year. During a business trip early November, he suddenly had an infected root canal, sore gums and felt very fatigued. When returning home, he had a root canal surgery followed by a gingivitis treatment. After feeling some chest pain a few days later, he then got diagnosed with pneumonia at the ER where they also did a blood test. When the blood test came back, doctors couldn't believe the result and immediately repeated the test. The white blood cell count was over 300, normally it should be between 5-8. He was immediately admitted to the hospitals oncology department and started chemo therapy the next day. After a one month stay, he was able to be released with occasional chemo treatments-the next one starting February 13th. Because his type of Leukemia is considered high risk, he will need a stem cell transplant this March to increase the chances of a full recovery. This process will take until June to be completed. He hasn't been able to start his business as planned, so not having income since last summer has been financially challenging. On top of household expenses, mortgage, insurance, out of network charges and child-care, there are much more expenses for treatments that are not covered by the insurance. The transplant has to be done in San Antonio for one month and after that doctors require to stay close to the hospital for 2-3 months in case of complications through infections. This means more expenses since Axel needs to rent an apartment close by. To keep the cancer in remission long term, as his type of Leukemia is considered high risk for relapse unless treated very well, Axel has also been doing natural alternative/supplemental treatments to boost his immune system (which have been very successful for others with a similar condition) and to build up strength for the upcoming chemo's and the harsh transplant process. The transplant procedure will start very soon in March. We are currently working very seriously to make his treatment successful and make a FULL RECOVERY by fall in 2017. We truly appreciate your support! Thank you very much! MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

  15. Great Job. This is dizzy so the arm chair qb's that sit mightily on their throne of superiority will also be quick to have speak down to you. I read the comments first to then watched to see how wrong they were and they are. The video didn't say anything about proximity flying he said you want something in proximity completely different if you listen without looking for something to attack. The lead also said he doesn't want any of his friends that don't already base to start so no this isn't a recruiting video. As for Carl and what he did and what people are dong now are light years different. This was a mini doc of one mans journey. I think they all did a great job of trying to share what it means and what it feels like for those that ask "why would you jump out of or from...." Congrats. You did a very nice job.

  18. At least he is looking out for you. He didn't try to screw you over but he should have talked to you first. Sounds like he was just really needing you and wanted to get the new company to be willing to wait for you so you didn't have to make any hard decisions. Good intentions but poor execution is what I read. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

  19. I'm not the guy that's going to blow smoke up your skirt and say good job keep at it blah blah blah..skydiving is DANGEROUS and YOU can and might very possibly DIE. Its not riding a bike where you fall down and get back on. You fail skydiving and you die. It is OK to walk away or just make Tandems when you feel the need for your knees in the breeze. There are people out their with hundreds of tandems because they like to jump but don't want to or are in capable of being in charge of themselves. There is no shame in that but forcing the issues and dying is forever. Don't be THAT GUY! MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  20. What does your instructor say? You say your 135 so that puts you at 160 out the door right? Is your profile correct 60 jumps? going from .8 to .94 may not seem like a lot but it really is. Personally the 210 at that wing loading can be an issues for such a small person as the rig has to be pretty big on you and your wind limit is very small so you don't fly backwards. Id be inclined to move you down at 60 jumps but I am not your instructor. Just not sure id move you down to a sabre2 maybe a spectre or storm 170 MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

  21. "Be Nice: More States Are Treating Incivility as a Possible Ethics Violation Posted Apr 01, 2012 08:20 am CDT ...Moreover, there is no clear consensus on what defines incivility. Brian S. Heslin, another panelist on the program, draws the line at personal attacks. “You’re not crossing the line when you’re belittling the other side’s position or facts,” says Heslin, a member of Moore & Van Allen in Charlotte, N.C. “But when that type of communication is directed at the individuals themselves—say their training, personality, color, ethnicity or age—that’s when we saw people cross the line.” Lawyers engaging in uncivil behavior run the risk of court sanctions, but in a growing number of jurisdictions, incivility also may land them in front of their state disciplinary bodies on charges of violating ethics rules." http://www.abajournal.com/magazine/article/be_nice_more_states_are_treating_incivility_as_a_possible_ethics_violation/ did you really post that? Go douche the sand out of your vagina. How is that for incivility. What the hell is happening to our world. Untwist your panties and get over yourself you nor is fence buster or anything else posted in a skydiving form that important. As for the USPA yes I'll always have my membership always.are they perfect nope that's what happens when less then 10% of the members/citizens etc actually vote. They are a damn site better then the alternative and I damn sure get my monies worth. Anyone thinking we are unique I got news for you every single organization associated with anything that offers certifications have the same people bitching/cheering exactly like this. It's funny the ones bitching the loudest Never step up to change it and usually they aren't wanting anything to change they just what to bitch.or the chnages they want would destroy everything if they got their way anyway. So what if raising the bar for pack opening 500' seems like giving in to the manufacturer so friggen what. If it keeps people off our back as a feel good changes so what. There is zero enforcement of some thing like that it's impossible to enforce we know it and they know it but it SOUNDS good to those that might be able to make life hell for us. That's what then USPA is there to do. Keep up the appearances so we can keep flying and they are doing the best they know how. Think you can do it better then please step up and if you have better ideas people will vote for you or if your ideas only sounds good to you you'll know as you won't get voted in. There my worthless opinion typed on a worthless internet post that will have no bearing on life in any way shape or form.

  23. When I think of Shannon she was the embodiment of this life lesson: Life Lesson Number 5 TOUCH AS MANY LIVES AS YOU CAN Every time you meet someone new, you leave a little bit of yourself with them. They are affected by you. The more people you meet, the more complete both their and your lives are because of how you have been affected by each other. Think of the possibilities.

  24. Oh I'm sure there is better video. my video is the second jump I wore a camera the first was the ballon jump I made at the boogie the 3rd a helicopter at the boogie and my last was another ballon jump at the boogie. After downloding and trying to edit them I said screw this. Not my cup of Tea and didn't jump it again. :) I am happy with my shots of the exits. Loved going out first love that shot.
