Thanks Yoink... Yeah, I suppose that anyone with real longevity here, and an inclination to go searching, can probably dig around to find things like this as you have, right in here. My concern though now is less so for that profile, than the eager "newbie" who may be scouring these forums (and topical ones especially - like incidents!) to try and learn from them & see his proclamations (escalating even it seems to be much less "self-proclaimed" i.e. "BS Evident"!!) as this latest one he now so directly and unabashedly, did. I know it's gone now... But did you see it? There was no "self proclaimed" disclaimer about it! Nope. This time / now he is (was) stating it, as if with real force of some sort of authority, that (paraphrase): "As president of the Tandem Passenger Association of Australia - I regularly see XX Dropzone routinely practicing the correct safety protocols, where others may not. ...This is why we reccommend only the following 2..." etc. - or something like that. No "Self-Proclaimed" (this is meaningless) tags or disclaimers about it!! And that - to me, is most definitely herein now - CROSSING THE LINE! coitus non circum - Moab Stone

Andy - Why can't I message you? That's a pain. How long have I been around these boards here? Let me "bait" this one out a bit more and have at least a little "fun" during my winter shut-in months here, won't you?? Either that, or - we can make this thread more purpose-based and call for this complete DOUCHE "Gregpso" (that he CLEARLY is)... to be BANNED from here, for totally CROSSING THE LINE, in trying to invoke some sort of totally PHONY - yet purporting to be somehow, "authoritative" credentials on here. ...and - - - Within Topical Forums (claiming such in "incidents"? ) to boot!! Seriously. - How many Australian newbies might ever read such, if it is just otherwise allowed to be by (us old timers) just passed off as ol' crazy douchebag... As being authoritative in some way? I'm sorry, but your joke notwithstanding - claiming position of "authority" as such - and then further stating that your organization "Association" has either endorsed or not endorsed certain centers ...and that being allowed to just stand / remain on here, I think now - is CROSSING THE LINE. coitus non circum - Moab Stone

Interesting. Thanks Ian. I will look through all that. Anything or any sources or resources though - outside of here (Dropzone.com) that might be considered INDEPENDENT - for purposes of validating any ACTUAL CREDENTIALS that may exist, of this now clearly being claimed within here - president of this Association? coitus non circum - Moab Stone

I've seen this (supposed) Organization's name recently invoked in the Incidents Forums. Their president posting in there, information about which Australia DZ's they either "endorse" or do not "endorse". This has now gotten me seeking more information about this Organization. Doing Google, Yahoo & Bing Searches brings up no result, or provides any additional information. Is there a resource perhaps that is proprietary to Australia, whereby I could access and gain more insight / direct information about this "Association"? - Are they a Division Maybe of the Australian Parachute Federation? - Some sort of other possible sort of (new?) Australian Government Department maybe? - Non-Government Consumer Group or Collective? - Are they "Regulatory" in some way, manner or fashion? It seems anyway, that is at least the impression - that they are either a governing or regulating body of some sort - as they are looking to be made in recent posts taking place now, within our forums here. So any additional insight - or validated information, or source to even myself be able to independently research & validate any actual CREDENTIALS of this (apparently new) organization - would be most greatly appreciated. Their president does not seem to want to provide this information him/herself, and has not responded to direct inquiries about them - so I thought I would ask if all y'all out here if perhaps now then ...any of you may actually know? TIA, and BLUE SKIES! -Grant coitus non circum - Moab Stone

I am not aware of any skydiving helmet - that undergoes, let alone carries specification(s) or safety certification(s) along with it, of any kind. Not sure what you are looking for, or asking with this. -? coitus non circum - Moab Stone

You sound like you are LEO. - Not attacking - - - many of my own family are as well, and we oft have these sorts of conversations between us. But... That's not what the 4th amendment to the constitutions says... and it is LEO "attitude" (and quite frankly, legal system "allowances" for that attitude to prevail through LEO), that only just starts us down that slippery-slope, where it does become "accepted" that these constitutional rights - as written (not interpreted, then re-interpreted) - erode. coitus non circum - Moab Stone

Woo-Hoo, I was the 100th voter!! But only the 27th to also click on "obligatory boobies"? - That right there people... is telling me here now, already enough about what is lately going "wrong" (downhill) in skydiving!! I definitely thought I knew more than I even (didn't know that I didn't know) knew possible, @ jump 500. I'm still learning - today! coitus non circum - Moab Stone

Unfortunately, also - for whatever reason - Aviation fuels at the end-point "consumer" cost / purchase level, just don't "react" (downwardly anyway - they sure do go UP though, every bit as fast!!) - as linearly, or rapidly as other types of "consumer" level fuel supplies.

Several of your staff up there at Burnaby are "sunchasers", and themselves winter all season-long, somewhere down in FL too. Scott B is one of them, who I know regularly off-season's somewhere much sunnier and warmer than the winter Icebox of Burnaby, in fact. If he is still there, and you know who I am referring to - ask him! In fact - If you do know Scott, and how to contact him right now - can you let him know that I have been looking for him just recently as well? Another Burnaby jumper has been chasing me to purchase a canopy I have for sale - but it is an eliptical, and I am not about to sell it (despite his own "insistance") without reference(s). So you'd be killing multiple birds there, with the proverbial single stone - and I would be in your debt! coitus non circum - Moab Stone

Holy OLD thread resurrection, batman! I probably should have updated - but as already seen in here too - MEL (Masterrigger1) is *THE MAN* with these, and has already long since my OP on this - taken very good care of me. No need to look any further. Mark Lancaster ("MEL") - Masterrigger1 has got this totally "down"! HAPPY HOLIDAYS (2014) all! -Grant coitus non circum - Moab Stone

Please stop "flaming" the OP here, Mike!! 1st Krisanne, now you? What is this here all of a sudden - a flame the OP pile-on?? - I still love this place. coitus non circum - Moab Stone

So you're writing your post(s) purposefully asking for/"baiting" a "flaming"... then chortling over it when you actually think you get one? I am actually amazed that you haven't (in reality - if you consider Krisanne's THOUGHTFUL response to you "flaming"... OMG) gotten one (or more)!! - Where's my bounce-bingo card, when I need it? coitus non circum - Moab Stone

His own (promotional) video shows the entire aparatus being launched, from the ground! ...Then, his narrative voice-over further expounds that this all would be continued/done "right in front of the spectators faces"!! Presumably, meaning pretty much ALL - from start to finish - right at relative "ground-level" proximity. coitus non circum - Moab Stone

Really? Kinda like NASCAR then - if the "crowds" come to see this, no doubt it is going to be for the sure to be "spectacular" wipe-outs!! - Sorry dude, I simply still - just cannot see this (actually) happening. Anyone else? coitus non circum - Moab Stone

Somehow, I just can't envision aircraft owners, DZO's or even their employed pilots actually allowing this: Wingboarding Really? But I guess... Who knows. Anybody out here seen this before, let alone have any experience or exposure to it yet, in any way? coitus non circum - Moab Stone

So... How'd it go? What did you use? coitus non circum - Moab Stone

Don't know the guy, or any of the details of any incident associated with what you are posting here (do you?)... and maybe this is a little Devils Advocate here, but as I click through your link, I find yes, a registered sex-offender here - apparently stemming from 3 counts of a single case-file adjudicated in 2006. That's 8 years ago that the case was tried & the final courts hearing/adjudication date affixed. Not necessarily the "offense" date either. But let's even just assume that the offense did occur in 2006, and "justice" in this case was in fact swift. (how often do we see that happen?) - and the courts adjudication & the offense all occurred the same calendar year - 2006. Your posted offenders birthdate is listed as 1987. Makes him 19 years old at date of adjudication. Think he could have been maybe even younger (18 or 17) at time of "offense"? Now, take a look at the offense charged: "Having sex with a victim older than 12years old, but under the age of 16." Do you know the facts of this case? Have possibly perhaps a personal axe to grind regarding it? Just asking, because JUST based upon what I've clicked-through to, that you've provided - although yes, enough to get a person listed on the sex-offenders registry ...I would not say is fully in of itself anywhere even near enough to blackball him from employment. Seriously. He would not be the 1st 18 year old convicted of "statutory rape" (as it is called in other jurisdictions) - and listed on the registry as a result for (what could have been) amounting to really only dating a 15 year old when he was 18. - Then having a parent or the later gilted victim/party herself upon break-up - later for nothing more than vendetta-sake, file charges. Can you say this did not happen here? I'm not saying it did, and this is the case. I'm just saying (not the OP - the one now being also pointed to moved/residing in Warrenton, VA) - - - this, in of itself is certainly not enough to throw a tar & feather party over. I personally even know of a case (no... not me! ...NOT why I am "going there"!!) but... Where the "couple" had dated for over a full year - with BOTH parents approval and blessings - - - fully openly... only well later, after they broke up, and the girl/parents found out, and did not like that just before they did break up, he also apparently "cheated on her" with the new girl he was going to - - that they decided to file charges. He was 18. She was 15. Turns out she had even been lying to him the entire time they dated, saying she was 16 too (she was a junior in HS, having skipped a year & he a senior) - and well, BAM... He is also now on the registry as well. I could easily post up his flyer/card, without any additional color or background too (I most certainly will not though) - - - and without that little added detail, and how many would be publicly calling for LYNCHING in that case too? Again - not saying that is the case here with your post... as clearly I don't KNOW. Do you? Please post up your added details here now then, if you do. coitus non circum - Moab Stone
