  1. So, if this law was passed, Minneapolis Residents could shut down MSP international airport because of noise? I hope they think this thru.
  2. Sad News..... The Original owner of the "Baldwin Sport Parachute Center" (1970's and 1980's) Randy Iverson has died. I don't have a lot of details yet, but I will update this when I have more info. Blue Skies Randy!!!
  3. Mike was gracious enough to send me an autographed copy. It occupies an important space in my home. Thanks Mike!!
  4. Ron will do very well in this position. Congratulations Ron.
  5. As I remember, Pro packing came as a result of "Trash" packing? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  6. A future Parts plane for Mr. D? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  7. Longmont Citizens prefer a swimming pool to quiet skies..... https://www.facebook.com/400414700081888/videos/753629191427102/ Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  8. Skydive Twin Cities has a great "Load Organizer" program. They have several LO's to help round up and organize jumpers from various disciplines. The LO's main goal is to see to it that everyone has fun. They use social media to encourage jumpers to show up. The LO's all work hard to teach important skills to the Newbs. You see, the sooner we teach them to fly, the sooner they can help us build successful bigger ways. In case you don't know this, you can have fun and learn to be a better skydiver at the same time.

  9. Fertilizer! Makes a nice green mark and lasts for a couple months. It does take a week or so to show up, so, you'll have to plan ahead....which, by the way, is a great skill to have if you're going to do demos. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  10. I don't know if I've shared this before, but, I almost had a date once.
  11. Shall we switch that order around? No need to switch the order. "We all need to continue to learn in this sport" was my point. I wasn't trying to place blame or rank any ones level of Dickness. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  12. Yes, but a well though out, calm conversation can diffuse the situation. We keep referring to the OP as a student. I think it's important to remember that at 60+ jumps, the OP probably doesn't see himself as a student. However, we're all students in this sport, even the "senior" TI who clearly has some lessons to learn. Today's lesson... 1. Don't take too long in the door. 2. Don't scream at people who may be taking too long.
  13. I call all my main canopies the same... "Open you Mother#*cker"!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  14. First of all, what's a senior TI? Here's the best advise I've got for ya... Go talk to the TI. Tell him what you were thinking, listen to what he has to say, ask other Instructors for their opinion, and call this a teachable moment. You've gotta get along with him (the TI) in the future, let him know your a student that wants to learn. And, my guess is, he'll probably feel like a jackass for being one.
  15. So, banned from SC Huh? Hmmm? I can't imagine why. Look, please don't insult leftists by comparing them to Kimmie. They do NOT deserve that. The Gibbster is a true Nut Job. It has nothing to do with her political views. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  16. Good for Skydive Awesome!!! We support and applaud your effort!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  17. Hmmm? Do we need to post this..... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  18. Skydive Twin Cities in Baldwin is open 7 days a week with a Turbine AC. There are load organizers for several disciplines, free camping, great staff, lots of fun jumpers, etc. And, did I mention, FREE BEER! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  19. get your team together and come to the meets - I'm usually coaching and judging these and I'll do post briefs and teach any team that actually ASKS me to. (As well as show you method and techniques and continuity planning - prebriefs, etc) The 4 way Belly camp is a great way to get started. All the information is available on the Northern Plains Skydiving League Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/northernplainsskydivingleauge/ rehmwa is one of many great reasons to attend. See ya there.... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  20. Actually, paid packers, AFAIK, were a rarity in the 70's. Skydives were only $6 in the 70's. If I'm remembering correctly (which may well NOT be the case) we got paid $3 for packing T-10's in the late 70's. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  21. That was my thought exactly. This is probably the most well written, even keeled, unbiased thing I've seen in that rag..... until that point. All the author had to do is include what CFQS's should do to help mend fences. .....like, pay up and shut up!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  22. Are you taking this bet? I'll gladly send it to Mile High. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  23. I've got a nice crispy new twenty dollar bill that says The CO Supreme Court doesn't even take this case. I just hope for Mile High's sake, the Fat Lady is warming up.... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  24. As one SOS to another.... Get off my lawn! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
