  1. That was my thought... Maybe the OP's sarcasm radar is not functioning as well as it should? Especially around SkyGod types. Quote Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  2. Yep, according to her twitters, she's now keeping an eye on the International Space Station. According to Kimmy, it's been pretty quiet so far.... Ya just can't make this shit up!!!! Thanks Kimmy, you're always good for a laugh. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  3. Hey Top, when did cross connectors fall out of favor? I understand why... I used them when CRW was young in the 70's but was away from the sport awhile in the 90's. I returned to the sport in 2005 and they were no longer used. I know you've been CRW active all this time. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  4. From the movie "The American President"... Sydney Ellen Wade: [to the President] This isn't about me. How can you keep quiet? How do you have patience for people who claim they love America, but clearly can't stand Americans? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  5. I'd bet they make it N= C license. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  6. .... says the guy wearing the Kevlar glove? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  7. That may be true, but I'd argue the baby boomers inherited those issues. The problem is, based on your attitude and my perception of your argument, your also not willing to become part of any kind of solution to what is clearly a problem. Do you have a solution to this problem that makes more sense? I'm not sure ignoring the issue by allowing any Tom, Dick or Mary to paste a camera on their forehead is the answer? I. for one. support stronger regulation and training with regards to cameras. And moreover, I'd be the first in line to get that training. I guess my real question to you is... without insulting an entire generation of skydivers, what would you do to make this situation more safe?

  8. On the flip side, I thought I was a fairly proficient belly flier until I got into a tunnel. I found out just how much work I needed. Plus, I was a douch bag long before I ever set foot in a tunnel... the two may not be related. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  9. It's only about 1,000 mile for me to drive there.... I'm in!! Not to create more than usual noise, but to generate more than usual income for Mile High. Thanks for fighting these people for all of us!!!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  10. Hmm? I think the problem is pretty clear. People want to disregard USPA's recommendations and jump a camera whenever they damn well please. Just a couple of points of interest... a. C-license is the recommendation (not 200 jumps) b. and, that's the minimum requirement. c. I don't remember seeing any Mad Skillz exemption? IMHO as always...

  11. I just suggested she have a beer and relax. I didn't want her to stick around. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  12. @ Kimmy..... go have a beer at a dropzone this weekend. Make nice and get on with your life. That is all..... edited to add... we know you're reading this. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  13. To the good folks at Mile High.... Tomorrow, when the judge rules in your favor. skydivers across the country will be dedicating the first beer of the evening (after the planes shut down I hope) in your honor. Here's to fighting the good fight!!! And to Kimmy.... If you'd of just had a couple beers in the first place, none of this would have been necessary.

  14. Groupons cost the business a bunch of money. My question would be... Wouldn't it be better money spent on straight up Advertising say on TV or Radio? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  15. While shooting a tandem video, I was informed at the plane that the student's mother, an experienced but not so current jumper, would be joining us. The TI, who has many thousands of Tandem Jumps, ok'd it. so, I was fine with it. I did, however, keep an eye out for her. To make a long story short, she was all over the place. At least twice nearly flying thru the drogue. She never got near the student and is not seen in the video. At break off, she barely tracked away and I went lower than I like just to get any kind of separation. Flying with Tandems has it's dangers. Make sure you know what your doing.

  16. You forgot: 4 -- Some English bloke with a pile of cardboard boxes beats him to it. And...... 5. He does it and (regardless of outcome) some poor schlepp pilot losses his license. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  17. Might be safer to blow it up on the ground and have a friend measure the length. Or, if you prefer, go ahead and waste a jump ticket on a dive to tie on cross connectors. Bridal may be a little heavy (depending on the bridal) Remember you have to stow it when you pack it. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  18. This is DZ.com, where the prevailing opinion of the populace forgets the adage that more rules create a greater illusion of safety, the only reason anyone would ever want to fly a camera is "mad skillz" or videotaping tandems, and education is frowned upon in favor of brute force restriction. Not sure I buy that? This (DZ.com) is like anywhere else... It's really not hard to cut thru the bullshit. Anyone with an open mind can find the truth. Also, If you read everything, the BS tends to shake itself out. I consider myself a student of the sport. I learn a lot here! If you come here "already knowing", Then you're statement above is probably correct.
  19. Skydive Twin Cities has a very strong belly group with load organizers Thur, Sat, Sun. We have several 4 way National champions that call this place home. 8 and 9 way sequential skydives have become common place. On Weds, there are tracking and angle organizers. There's a lot of participation and training going on in this discipline. The Wingsuiter's are a large growing group and I believe Jake "Feather" still calls this home. Free fliers are all over the place and there are some very talented fliers including Freestyle National champs Carl & Merriah Eikins. Or, if your looking for some real excitement, Proz, Plozay or myself will take you up for some F-111 CRW. All that being said, the best thing about the place is the vibe. Good people, great DZO's, supportive community. Bon fires every Fri, Sat. Kid friendly, Free camping and one of the nicest grass landing areas you'll find. Give it a try!!!

  20. Sorry for the drift, but, does anyone remember "Red Eye". Popular in the 70's it was a red licorice liquor. Back to the Poll..... I'm very disappointed there is no Boobie option? This site is going to hell in a handbag. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  21. And, my (law woofo here) guess is CFQS will re-file as many times as they can afford to, trying to put Mile High out of business because they can no longer afford to fight. You don't have to be right, you just have to have enough money. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  22. Whatever happens, don't forget to smile. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  23. Fastest Internet... Cool, that means you have really fast updates on CFQS's site ? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  24. NCIS but with some cross over I'm thinking??? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  25. We did TheTail, Moonshiners, and others last summer. Great rides. Have you been on the Cabot Trail in northern Novia Scothia' Canada? It's a place like no other. This year we're thinking Glacier National Park. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
