    Crossroads

    Harry this is the exact reason I used to come to CCS so often I felt more at home there than the dz's in florida right in my back yard. I got in on better dives there than I ever did in florida. Its a shame so many dz's have such a click that if your not in it your doing solos. Im going for a job interview in Raleigh in a few weeks and may relocate to that area. If you have any contact info for Dave Sampson pm me please.
  2. I used to travel to CCS to free fly I am trying to find Dave Sampsons contact info. I will be in that area in a few weeks and I lost all my contact infor for him. If any one could pm me his info that would be super.
  3. Rip Larry it was pleasure knowing you. You will be missed by your skydiving family.
  4. You must be looking at the FB list.... Don & Jean Hushpuppy goofyjumper iluvtofly mirage62 missbrz normiss popsjumper rick (asshole) Spence, Julie and THE NEW PUPPY!!!! Skydive The Farm skymama thomas_crowe Taxiway I will be there.
  5. I have been jumping a sameri 105 for a number of years. I came from a stiletto and the sameri is a better canopy. Cant say much on the katana havent jumped one. My advise is say with what you have until your getting all its got then learn down winders when that gets boring then down size. I can guarnatee you can get more out the 90's than you are now. I can swoop almost as far on a 90 as i can with a 270 its all teqnique. If you are luckey enough to take brian germaines coarse do it. Just take the learning progresion and down sizing slow. I had over 1500 jumps on my stilleto 135 before down sizing to the sameri 105. I put 800 or so on the 105 and was getting all it had. I sent it back to brian he retrimmed it and relined it and it came back way faster I see no reason to jump anything else.
  6. Last time I went to the farm Monroe county ga got me at 105mph it was 405.00 ticket.
  7. lol thats funny my comments are straight and I am not angry at all. I think its quite funny actually. Your still prick ron. So i get one warning. oh no
  8. Thats the thing here no one has posted proof of anything. Its all hearsay with out the proof. Jump jax always got paid.
  9. And you would have that right. Just as others have the right to cxl. And this: And this: Do not jive well together. Uh, you sure did: Ron go f u ck yourself. And dont bother sending me a pm flexing your internet muscles again it wont work. lol
  10. My statement clearly says they have bad business practices as far as advertising. But I still had no problems back then cause I made money off of them and to my knowledge the dz always got paid. You got any links with proof of the wire fraud? Are you saying they are selling skydives and not providing a skydives? So if this is the case why are the feds not involved or are they? Are they not paying the dz's that are taking there people up? So you guys will go out on a crusade against every business that partners with skyride. Even if the owner of the dz partners with them to save his failing dz? You can legally have a similar name. arizona skydiving is not skydive arizona 2 different names totally. Just like the dz trying to open in deland could use deland skydiving center and have no issues. Its similar and yes people will go to the wrong dz and they will take customers from each other. Happens every day in any business.
  11. Well honestly at no point does some else breaking the law too much for me. Because its not me doing it. I never said I was ok with stealing trade marks so dont spin my words to support your agenda. I'm not spinning your words. You said you were ok with Skyride's practices. You also said you would be fine breaking the law if you felt you needed to to provide for your family. Your words. And I'm not sure what the first part of your response is supposed to mean.... I understand that you've stated that this is all your opinion. You are perfectly entitled to those opinions, but that doesn't change the fact that they are incongruent with the laws in America and many other nations. Dear sir you are totally spinning my words. Read that bold section then go back and reread my post a little slower so you understand. Then come back and show me where I said that. . What exact laws have they broken? Not your opinion or interpretation of the law. They are definitely treading a serious grey area.
  12. hello Mr irony do you have a problem that I worked some where that accepted skyride. If you do please take 20 bucks out of you wallet and go buy your self a life sir. I just actually read the the story about the nissan lawsuit I would have done the same as he did even if it meant loosing everything I had. You have to stand up and fight no matter how bug the other guy is.
  13. This doesnt really relate. Nissan owns the name nissan no ones owns the word skydiving. So the way I see it skydiving ******* is not the same as skydiving######. But what the hell do I know. I am not a lawyer. If the skydiving operation name is not the same no lwa was broken. Arizona skydiving is not the same as skydive Arizona any way you look at it. Again I in no way endorse or am affiliated with skyride this is just my opinion and nothing more. Do I fell bad about the money I made when working at a dz that accepted skyride hell no. I worked for every dime of it. The dz seemed to always get paid but hell they may own skyride dont know dont care. Whats great about america you can spend your money where you want. I dont visit certain well know dz's in my state because of how they run the place, thats my choice.
  14. A little story for you: A local jumper owned a beauty parlor; she called it United Hairlines. One day an attorney showed up & said that he represented United Airlines and that if she did not change the name of her company, they would proceed with litigation. Compared to United Airlines, she was a rather small business, so she took the smart route & changed the name of her company. It would be your choice to go along or fight. Think about the costs of winning? JerryBaumchen She made a choice not to fight it and let her self get bullied by a large corporation. I would have fought it. As she did nothing wrong.
  15. Well honestly at no point does some else breaking the law too much for me. Because its not me doing it. I never said I was ok with stealing trade marks so dont spin my words to support your agenda.
  16. Agreed I am a firm believer in karma. But Shzt happens too and some times it could be a last resort. But this has nothing to do with this witch hunt against BSM
  17. What ever man it paid my bills and put food on the table for my family. I have done a lot worse for less money. Its funny how you guys started this thread like an old fashioned witch hunt all because BSM donated some stuff. thanks for the laugh now go get a life people. I think BSM is great I may buy another subscription just to make up for the dumb asses that cancelled theirs. First off, we do agree that BSM isn't the one to complain about here. But you said, "Whatever man it paid my bills..." So, you'll be fine when someone steals your identity and runs up the bills on your credit cards. After all, he was just feeding his family. Okay, maybe that's too clearly to criminal. What if a competitor of yours uses your name and trashes your reputation? "Whatever man, he's just feeding his family?" Thats business. I own Tint Specialist West in jax do a search there are about 20 tint specialist around florida and at least 4 in jax.. I am not crying about it So if skyride committed bank fraud as you suggest then why have the feds not shut them down? Please dont take this as me being for skyride cause I really dont give a shzt. I will do anything to keep food on the table for my family If I have to resort to breaking the law to survive I will.

  19. I could care less either way. When I worked at jump jax I was all for it cause I made a 1000 a weekend jumping While I did not agree with the owners of jump jax's business practices either I was there for the work and no other reason.
  20. Hmmmmmm...is there something wrong there? As far a legal. you may want to investigate Skydive Arizona's law suit. It might get you to re-think "creative marketing" and legality. Then again, it might not. Take a look and then decide. They tried the same thing by filing a law suite against Mike Mullins when he was in coolage and they lost. His name was Arizona skydiving coolage no law broken there. Even if they loose they will never pay a dime. They will simply file bankruptcy and open a new business.
  21. While skyride uses some creative marketing tacktics its not illegal. If i wanted to open Fort Brag window tinting there is not a damn thing the military can do to stop me from using that name. Legally you can change one letter in a company name and nothing can be done. You guys are a bunch of babies crying out Blus sky magazine. They are not skyride. When I worked at jump jax they accepted skyride and I made a lot of money off of them I have no issues with them. Skyride may have deceptive marketing but its working cause they are making cash.
