>>The DZ already made his/her money that day by running tandems. If you think that he/she makes money beyond a buck or two, from your cheap lift ticket, you're really mistaken.

Dude, you know when it was said that "I always listen to 96 jump wonders", you guys meant that I have no input at all because I'm not even close to your level. And I have to agree with you about the part where in every generation there are killer skydivers. Just because you have a lot of jumps doesn't make you one. I "worked" if u can call it that at a dropzone as a packer, and there was a load in the air the whole time as long as I can remember if the weather was jumpable. Those guys are completely dedicated and taught me a lot about how you have to love the spot to be able to do it. The dropzone I was describing it was like they just didn't care and I got the feeling that these guys don't deserve to even operate one. And hence the post...some dropzones suck.

Are you saing this from personal experience?

U know what? Everyone starts somewhere and I appreciate the experience. But what the hell are you saying? just cuz I'm shy of a hundred I have no idea what I'm talking about. It's stuff like that, that holds this sport back. Old guys that think they know everything and don't allow anyone to speak their mind. The new generation of skydivers is a hell of a lot better then the last. The guys I started jumping with are also many-thousand wonders and they go all day. Plus,, that comments about y wasn't I there in the mourning? It's not every mourning I can get to a dropzone....and why would you run a dropzone that doesn't drop?

And that's fine if you live your life revolving around cliches. Plus, a real skydiver goes dawn till dark anyday. Oh,,and they were junping cessnas 205 so we didn't need 20 people,,only 5.

Man, I got to say that some dropzones really suck. Just picture this..ok u finally get there, get your gear and register for a load. There's about 20 "skydivers" there and your name is the only one on the board for about an hour and a half! Why isn't anyone jumping?..."Well, there was a bunch of tandems this mourning so everyone is tired"...I couldn't believe this lame-ass excuse at 4pm in the afternoon on the most beautiful day (with puffy clouds and tempetarure above 25 celcius). I can't even think of the right comment to say in regards to this. Just had to put it out there.

I know it's a little mean but have a sence of humour

I know, they should both be d-rings but different colors. I think that your hand can easily slip off the fibre handel or not tear off the velcro right away when you need it the most. You could make your own though.

Man, those guys can suck on a nut. Where's the love?
