It's a post about a particular user... BAN HIM!!!!!! Remster

I am not an attorney; but I have filed quite a few lawsuits, all in Small Claims Court. Here, in Oregon, you have to give them notice of what your demand is. Then, if they continue/fail to do whatever, you can proceed with litigation. IMO MHS is saying to cease & desist; then if they do not, MHS can proceed with litigation. Jerry Baumchen That makes sense. Thanks. Remster

Welcome to the Colorado skydiving scene... Remster

Have you cut it away under load? Remster

Maybe one of our legal bagels (ha!) will comment, but, I always thought it was a bad strategy to threaten to file a lawsuit: either don't sue someone, or sue them and send them the lawsuit. Jerry/Andy? Remster

Good thing he didn't have a hoodie. Remster

What thread or forum did she block you from? I wanna get blocked!!! Join the party!!!! lol Not hard to do actually, you just have to show her how dumb her comments are and she will block you pretty quickly from the facebook page and apparently twitter now as well. she dug up this as a response to a comment I made on the CQS facebook page to show what an asshole I am Well, in her defense.... ;-) Remster

ASTRA had that.that, and nice colors. Any Idea of why the Astra didn't "take the market" ? Cypres with a kill switch ? please ? Personal theory why Astras never took off: - Battery issues - Need to turn unit off after opening if you had a slightly aggressive canopy / or expecting big turns - Not hidden (back then, people would never think of mandating AADs... There was still some level of mistrust of them, and advertizing you had one was not cool... Although they were starting to become standard) Remster

One thing's for sure: she doesn't want a landing strip. Remster

Skip to 27:25 for the police perspective. Remster

In Oregon you can ride in the road; you're riding a vehicle. We have had a rash of bike/auto accidents here in the Portland-area the last few weeks; including one fatality. Jerry Baumchen In all of North America, as far as I know, cyclists can ride in the lane. In fact, it's often the recommended place when there isn't a wide enough shoulder to allow a vehicle to safely pass to take the whole lane to make sure drivers don't try to squeeze by you. Remster

While at belly to earth freefall speed? Remster

May I touch the hem of your garment? Remster

Now the "next guy" can't blame the "last guy" for all the BS that's about to be brought up in the investigations. Remster

I've always had an AAD, and almost all of my jumps were made with one in (there may have been the odd borrowed gear jump after a cutaway kinda thing here and there), BUT, I do not want to see them being mandatory. There's enough reliance on them in some people's mind, I don't want to see that institutionalized. Remster

Sigh... Maybe it's just a rumor... Remster

The only one that is in project phase in Fliteshop. And I really don't know where they're at with the build. Considering competitive issues, I'm not surprised they would keep things quiet until they're ready to go. Remster

Rack this one up to substantiated rumor (ie, I talked with a guy who knows something...) We know about the new tunnel project in Scottsdale (http://www.fliteshop.com/) Apparently, that tickled iFly: I have been told that parts have been ordered for 1 tunnel in Tucson, and 1 in Phoenix. Competition may not lower the prices, but at least it's pushed some development! Still: till the foundations are poured and parts that look like they belong to a tunnel show up on the site, it aint happening yet... PS: that will be 4 tunnels in AZ... 5 if you count Yuma that no one can fly in (booo hiss!). Take that TX! Remster

Having seen "leaders" go up line of flight for a good 10 seconds before turning into the direction they are supposed to be following, yeah.. sure... I'm sure that makes him a pro eXtReMe athlete. Remster

***The Court finds the noise produced by Mile-Hi’s operations is not offensive, annoying, or inconvenient to a degree significant enough that a normal person in the community would consider it unreasonable for those individuals who choose to reside in close proximity to an airport. The Plaintiffs are concerned about noise during daytime and early evening hours, which they believe impacts the use of their backyards and leisure activities. MileHi planes do not typically operate after dusk. Though the Individual Plaintiffs may at times find the noise to be irritating or frustrating, the Court finds the gravity of harm to Plaintiffs in this matter is not significant or severe. An individual may also find it irritating or frustrating to listen to the sound of motorcycles and trucks on nearby streets, to hear lawn mowers throughout the day, to hear children’s yells or laughter in a back yard, or hear the loud playing of music from a neighbor’s home. But simply because a certain noise level is irritating or frustrating to a small group of people does not equate to the noise being significant enough that a normal person in the community would find it as offensive, annoying, or inconvenient. Awesome! Remster

I think the query is more re: why the top corporate executives generally haven't been prosecuted individually. The real answer is that while top corporate executives may very well face individual criminal liability either due to their own direct wrongdoing, or indirectly via the "Responsible Corporate Officer Doctrine", the top executives at the top (current and former) banking houses have enough financial resources on hand to pay civil penalties, and are sufficiently in bed with those occupying the upper echelons of government, that they effectively immunize themselves from being prosecuted. Why, for example, were Angelo Mozillo (Countrywide) or Kenneth Lewis (Bank of America) never criminally prosecuted? Well, that's why. So it's the top execs of small- and middling-sized companies that get nailed (with occasional sacrifical lambs like Madoff), while these guys walk. And so it goes. No, but seriously, why is it? Remster

No maybe it means the other instructors are busy doing tandems and AFF, and they don't have any to spare for the guy that decided to take up golf for the past "few" years. We just had this guy at the DZ last weekend.https://youtu.be/W--dC5kuQ8Q?t=30 No log book, no jumps since a surgery in August... So he went on a 1/1 with radio. We did not let him live it down. And Merrick: Get on with it! Remster

If you need to be told, you obviously havent tried to find out... Remster

Well, we are talking about Harper... Remster
