    First let's start with customer service. Strong Enterprises STRIVES at all cost to make jumpers happy. They have excellent turn time on building new rigs and stand behind their products 125%. The patented spring flaps in the reserve system are a major PLUS! When I popped my reserve for repack, the pilot and bridal came out to full extension in a split second because those side flaps clear theirselves of the pilot chute. You don't need those 40 lbs springs like other manufacturers to clear all that material in the way. Comfort is 2nd to none! It's feels great suited up and while under canopy. This container in a short time will replace those "designer" groupies fairly quickly. I highly recomend you buy one
  2. I don't believe in forum censorship. Where ever the thread goes is where it goes . Regarding the punishment, will you be administrating the spankings??? Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  3. That's hysterical !!!! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  4. It's cool Tammie..... I've got thick skin and besides, I enjoy getting ripped on. LOL Who doesn't?!?! I tried to stand upwind on the previous reputation of the DZ in hopes to make a difference, but saw that I was taking more ownership then the ones who own the articles of incorporation. I truly wanted to see the DZ grow into something big. Brian even knew that I bought windblades for it just to be nice. I wasn't expecting anything in return, I just wanted to help out. In regards to Cathy at Fernandina Beach, I'd like to find out how to contact her. I live on Amelia Island and stopped by the airport three times in the last month. The clerk at McGill Aviation says he knows that some people have jumped recently but doesn't know how to contact her. Last but not least, I'm down with the wingsuit someday after I have more experience. FYI, I won't fail the package check!

  5. How does that old saying go.....? "The truth hurts" Yeah, that's how it went down that day and it was disappointing. It happened right after you called and said you were running late. I'm not sure why she regulated, but I'm waiting to speak with Greg about it. The only thing I can do is try. If he changes it then great.... if not then I tried and I'll see ya on the turbine.

  6. I hear ya..... it'a all about what you feel most comfortable doing. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  7. I have no intention of helping to finance a website that promotes dangerous behavior amongst skydivers. The website started out innocent enough. People would post their lame sit-fly videos and coach jumps so they could show off how “legit” they were. Things have changed. Now it has become a contest to see who can come as close to death as possible, while catching it on tape. People are running out and buying cameras just so they can catch their next cut away or cliff strike. As one of the most outspoken and respected voices amongst the DZ.com community, I feel it necessary to say “throw those piece of shit camera helmets in the fucking trash can!” Stop trying to be trendy. The camera look is getting old. Every 100 jump wonder wants one. When we stop acting like sheep, only then can the lemur evolve into a talking ape. UntamedDOG PURE COMEDY Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  8. Didn't you have that Mirage on ebay last year or no?? Hope you return when you're ready.... Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  9. Hey everyone..... I know that most of us enjoy watching the great footage which is uploaded by our fellow jumpers to www.SkyDivingMovies.com however we have a current issue which needs to be addressed. The guy that runs the website does it soley out of the kindness from his heart and the passion for our sport. In addition, he pays for the monthly maintenence from his own pocket which was running around $350.00 per month. We don't know how much longer he will be able to carry that burden from a cost stand point and we are asking everyone to help chip in. You can donate thru PayPal by using one of the links provided the next time you watch another great video on that website. The amount of bandwidth required to keep her afloat due to the demand and growth is insane. Do what you can to help........ it's the least we can do.
  10. Weather should be good tomorrow.... hope to see you there Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  11. I'll hopefully catch you on the next round. I'm new with nothing to prove so we'll see where my skillz are at next time. Please post this when you decide to do this again. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  12. is the 29th our date for sure??? May would be better for me and another from Jacksonville. If not we really have to juggle Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  13. How many jumpers do they need before the pilots will commit? Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  14. what month and year did the student die if you recall.....? Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  15. I guess we'll see how she turns out with the new one. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  16. When was the last time you came out? Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  17. Don't know.... I guess that depends on the demand. Keep in mind that I'm new to the sport, however I know commitment when I see it. The managers that run Skydive Jax give everything they've got. If you didn't know any better you would've thought they owned it for the love of the sport. Hopefully she'll grow to the point where Greg brings one in. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  18. LOL That's the same story the flying club told me...... thus why Nassau county gave them the extended lunch hour Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  19. The 206 is in..... I love progress Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  20. Cool! I hope she grows just as JAX is growing. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  21. LOL..... Even the locals screw up the facts. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  22. When did they re-open??? I was just at the airport last week talking to the flying club. They are the ones who informed me that the DZ was no more. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

  24. The DZ in Fernandina was kicked out by Nassau county in 1998 after that Planet Radio stunt that ended in a life flight. (So I'm told from the locals after moving here) Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  25. Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that Skydive Jacksonville is now running more fun jumpers again as oppose to just tandems. Greg and Patty are sending the C-206 from California this week and will be sending up more fun jumpers. I know that there are many other DZ's in Florida that are larger and well established but I wanted to post this to represent my home DZ because the managers have really taken this place from "nothing" to "something fun" in just one year. Hats off to Karen and Alan for growing Skydive Jacksonville and I'm excited to see where we will be in just another year. I encourage anyone locally in the JAX area or northeast Florida to come out and visit us. We would love to see you for the jumps and BBQ. www.skydivejacksonville.com Sincerely, Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
