stevorino, sorry I got you upset. I know you are a resonable guy, but for some reason you are defending a dz that is putting bad stuff on their web site and I dont know why. Of course we have seen worse, like skyride, but where do you call the line?

Not the stuff you were doing with the sarcasm. The 2 STA stuff is bullshit. It is like saying you are safer if you use 2 condoms.

how about this---
After you graduate from our 9 jump AFP Program you will be able to jump on your own and experience the thrill of flying. After this you can try freeflying(vertical flying), skyboarding, or even the new birdman suit.

This is bad stuff.

raymond, thanks for letting us know about this dz's misleading advertising. Hopefully you are not doing this just be cause they are a competitor with your dzo, but whatever it takes. Sugesting that they are a skyride dz was probably not fair but again whatewver it takes to get people to know about ads that arent right. If nobody ever complains about this kind of thing then eventually dzs will be telling people they can jump out by themselves at 10 grand on their first jump just to get their business

After searching the internet, I came across this business arizonia the website is: phoenixareaskydiving.com

raymond, you forgot to tell them about the link to the Safety page which can be found on the First Time Jumpers page!

Welcome to the Fred Thompson Countup. As we mark each day to Thompson's inauguration, we can keep track of this leader's consistent voting record and political views.

Only a few short months until the US has the pleasure and security of a republican president such as Fred Thompson.

(Since Mrs. Bill Clinton is not a viable candidate it is pretty much a done deal. If the democrats are indeed foolish enough to choose such a person as their candidate, it won't matter anyway, because Fred will CLEAN HER CLOCK at election time.)

My psycho ex-boyfriend just tried to contact me on MySpace. He's 35 and married with 2 kids but mentally he's still that 18 year old crazy.

And you are mentally 15 years old for messing around with myspace!!!! What do you expect? jeeez

Why not just scrub it since they scrubbed your demo area, rather than risk the landing into a sketchy place?

'cause there was money involved?
'cause there ain't much professionalism in skydiving?
why does "flatville" sound so familiar?

Sounds like the WFFC has been replaced by Summerfest. We went to Summerfest after the WFFC and had a blast. I have heard they are expecting more people than there was at last years WFFC. Something like 2000+ people this year.

So does this mean you are going to summerfest and skip the WFFC? Great! Then this means we wont be reading 20 posts next summer complaining about the WFFC like you did last year? Have fun.

By the way, is anyone going to have any real numbers on summerfest attendance or is everyone going to exaggerate to make themselves feel good?

isn't a BSR just a reccomendation?

Joel, no offense buddy, but maybe you need to do more reading and less posting. You don't seem to be too familiar with USPA rules, and you haven't caught on to the answer to your question, which was in this thread.

I have been seeing a number of your quick replies all over the forums lately. I don't know if you are a newly rated instructor, or have just now gotten some magic number of jumps that makes you know everything, but....

Wow, skyventure is an idiot or a predator, so are a lot of dropzones. And apparently my local rock station is too since they have a myspace page.

Yes, ma'am they are. And anyone who already has a web site and then plays around with amatuerish web pages on Myspace.com are not just idiots, but FUCKING idiots.

You can add USPA to that list too, at www.myspace.com/_uspa

[bunch of wingsuit release stuff here]All this before you can even begin your EP.

Good point. Maybe a good reason that no one should ever consider jumping a wingsuit while doing a Tandem jump! (Sure it's been done, but maybe it should stop before someone gets killed.)

The way some idiots are trying to invent "cool" new ways of doing Tandem jumps, maybe they should be told not to before they start doing it with students.

It DOES make for a better video, IMO, for the person who is going to come out, do one jump and never do another.

This is a shameful attitude, but we expect no better from someone who jumps at Cross Keys do we?

Evidently Cross Keys is a carnival, complete with Tandem carnival rides.

People say this fellow is a great instructor. For who? Only the AFF students? What about the Tandem students? Don't they deserve more than a carney jumping around over them looking foolish on video.


Maybe Glen Bangs changed his mind about this foolishness since he worked at the Cross Keys Carnival. Maybe that is why he doesn't work there now. Have you asked him?
