  2. ok,ok, i am going to stay with the sabre2 for a bunch of jumps before i try something else. thanks guys for being so conservative and for letting me know what you think. it has been a while since i jumped so maybe i should be conservatice too

    I have quite a few jumps but maybe that doesnt matter.

  3. I have been away from skydiving for a while and have a sabre2 with a wingloading about 1.5 I like it OK but is there any other canopy that might be a little more fun for me? I don't have money burning my pocket or anything but new is always fun

  4. wow, things have changed a lot in 5 years. I just started skydiving again... bad marriage-bad divorce... now Im free!

    i hope you will all keep me entertained while i catch up

    crazy stuff going one in skydiving... makes me want to get a wing suit right away, but no, better wait and get good again.

    Well at least now everyone in that region & sport knows the answer to where he was getting all the money he has been throwing around for the last few years. Kind of reminds me of Skydive America's creative financing, I remember that owner and a few klingons joking about "other peoples money" and high five'n about a year before the Fed's busted him, maybe they'll run into each other at the federal country club.



    what about skydive america? i have never heard of that. what did they do?

    Members of the BOD and especially the executive committee have expresses extreme distain for this site and the people that post here. (Atleast that is what I was told by people that attended the BOD meeting in Orlando told me). I doubt they would support using this medium for communications.



    why not? i know bonfire is pretty crazy but there can be a serious area too.

    Myself and another instructor at Z-Hills had a discussion a few months ago about this and thought I would ask if others agreed. Should basic life saving / first aid skills be manditory as part of the A license? His reasoning was that if you land off or get injured you should be able to take care of yourself until help arrives.



    no, not a requirement, but for safety day a CPR class would be really great

    Is that George Ireland's N99NN?

    I hope so. I really liked that plane even before the upgrade.



    wait a minute, i dont think the guy making the original announcment said anything about an upgrade. are there bigger engines on it now or are they just new? super beach?

    Take his ratings along with at least 16 other TI's that i know of doing this on a regular basis.
    If you make an example of one you must make an example of all.

    This is a witch hunt, there are many TIs doing this, and it takes alot of control to be able to do so.
    USPA and strong cannot act on this as they have known for many years it was going on and commended the individual in question whilst standing with him and watching the videos and praising him for being such a talented instructor.



    whoa man, you say uspa and strong company knew and praised, like wow, and commended him? you are going to need to show us how that happened! proof?

    talented instructor, that is a good one, if danger to the student is a talent

    this is interesting seeing so many people thinking that uspa should do more to this guy. usually everybody screams uspa is the bad guy.
