World's First 8-Stack - photos
mccurley replied to 1st8stkOrganizr's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
I guess they where disdinguising between a stack and a plane? It's in my log book as a decaplane attempt rather then a stack. Out of the Loadstar on Dec 28 / 79 Only peoples names a rememberfrom that one are Rod Boswell (last seen at the third world cup of CRW in Aussie) and I think Jack Gregory from Florida. It was signed by a Gary Copeland D223 (could be CSAP or USPa I don't know) Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI -
World's First 8-Stack - photos
mccurley replied to 1st8stkOrganizr's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
I don't have that book anymore, (changed countries to often) but I remember it blew us away. Here's a pic i took at Z-Hills X-mas 79, Combination of Brits, Yanks, and Canucks. They where trying for 10 to match the current record of the time and I begged on to pictures. Not very good quality but it was a hand held Cannon AT-1 and was my 150th jump (second with a camera) Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI -
Quite right. All the critics (including that dick at the UN) should make thier own contributions before they open thier mouths. I wonder if any have made any contributions at all. I liked Phillykev's aproach. lead by example and see who follows. The US is just to easy a target for this kind of critisim from people who shoot thier mouths off for thier own agendas which don't necessarily have anything to do with the problem at hand.

Militants in Iraq believe democracy is "un-Islamic"??!!
mccurley replied to SpeedRacer's topic in Speakers Corner
Just goes to show that any special intrest group, from politcal party, to both pro and anti abortionists, to F****d up Religeous Zealot (read terrorist), and many others can take any doctrine and put a spin on it to suit thier own ends.

Not an American and also not involved in religion. But what is wrong with a display of, or a belief in following things like the ten commandments? What is wrong with Thou shall not kill etc? I think you can run your country seperate from your diverse group of religions and still honour the basic underlying rightness of most religions. Don't kill, dont steal, don't rape, etc all good religious doctrines which one can follow and be a good person for with out going to church every sunday, or synagogue, or mosque, or what ever. Your fore fathers may have quite correctly feared the possibilty of religious persicution etc.. That didn't mean they didn't follow church doctrine in thier day to day lives.

Embryonic Stem Cells May Not Be Needed Anymore
mccurley replied to ltdiver's topic in Speakers Corner
According to one of my clients here in New Zealand, who we will be building a rehab centre for, research is going on into stem cells harvested from the nose and cornea. If this pans out the ethical discussion about embrionic stem cells will become academic! Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI -
When I did my first jump in 73 the first jump class consisted of, my father, and one of my uncles from my mother's side. Most of those maternal uncles led adventurous lives untill they "settled down" Makes me wonder how my kids will turn out. I met thier mother (ex wife) when I was intsrtucting in the eighties and took her up for a static line jump, both she and I have always been willing to try out different things, both love motorbikes, both drive to fast, etc. etc. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

Agreed! Very good value for money. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

Why electric? If you want to play around the campfire you'll need a long lead. You could consider a decent acoustic. Yamaha is great value for money. I have a 1976 model FG160 and it sounds and plays almost as good as my Martin J1. Either way, acoustic or electric, I have always advised beginers who I have taught to invest in a good quality instrument. If you buy something cheap, and then don't continue with it, your stuck with a guitar you can't sell it off for anything close to what you paid. (there are more people out there in this position then you may imagine, just like students who never get past the first few dozen jumps) Buy some thing decent, and if you continue you'll love it, if you don't you can get most of your money back when you sell it.

U.S. army deserter seeking refugee status in Canada
mccurley replied to IanHarrop's topic in Speakers Corner
Draftdogers OK they are making a stand or avoiding being sent to thier possible death in a forgien land. I can agree with both. Deserters? Send them back! He signed a contract and he took an oath. In addition to that he may have accepted benifts such as an education. Either way he should be honouring his commitments. If he hasn't got the balls to honour his commitments except as convienent to him, thern he is not the kind of immagrant Canada should want.

There were two Frenchies I think. One I met in Z-hills about 79 who went in. Another one who was at the POPs world meet in new zealand about 3 years ago I think your refering to the second one? Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

A female docter who use to jump at Gananoque, I don't remember her name, told the story of a woman who gave birth in the elevator of the hospital she was working in. The wowan was very distrest and crying. When asked why she was so upset she responded with something along the lines of not being able to do any thing right. The doctor said to her "You shouldn't be so concerned about it. Last year a woman gave birth on the front lawn" This generated more crying as the woman responded "That was me"!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so my memory is a bit time skewed!! At least I got a name right! It must of been one of the other guys I met in Florida that gave me the crash together description. Your name stuck in my memory banks from doing a jump with you and a group trying to do a ten plane in Z-Hills in 79. I still have some of the photos I took on that one. I do recall seeing the picture in skydiving. I'll try and post one to you later, Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

I didn't drop the student in a cloud, I dropped myself in them after letting the studentsout. This some times resulted in a slightly long spot for myself. And it wasn't in the US so who cares if the FAA don't approve!!! Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
