OK, that's WAY over my head. But thanks! I'll take the equations & graph to my instructor for clarification. Card carrying member of the Nanny State Liberation Front

I used to have that. USED TO. Along with video of my final 30 sec delay and my first 3 stadium jumps. Card carrying member of the Nanny State Liberation Front

I got a static line JM rating at 100 jumps in 1990. 100 jump wonders have been working with students for longer than you or I have been jumping. The only difference is that today many of those 100 jumps wonders fly a hell of a lot better than we did when we had 100 jumps. Believe The jump in question is #6. That's pretty impressive. I jumped with guys in the late 80's with 500 jumps who didn't fly that well. Card carrying member of the Nanny State Liberation Front

I'd say make it 2000 and drop the requirement for non-license holders to jump with an I or coach. Card carrying member of the Nanny State Liberation Front

Where to start... If USPA wants to give "coach" ratings to guys with 100 jumps, I guess that's fine... I guess. I just don't think they should be charging with so little experience. "Back in the day" which for me was '87 to '90, anybody could jump with a recent AFF or static line graduate. Hell, they often jumped together! We never charged them to jump with them. To me the whole idea is ludicrous. If you're charging for rw jumps, you better be a member of Airspeed or forget about it! The same goes for most other disciplines... more or less. This sport is too expensive as it is to be paying for someone else's jumps unless they really are "all that and a bag of chips". I'm sorry but that's just my perspective on this. It's nothing personal. For the 70 jump wonder turning 10 points... congrats! And no offense but if somebody told me that on the dz, I'd tell 'em to show me the video or stfu. Again, nothing personal. It's just extremely difficult to believe. Card carrying member of the Nanny State Liberation Front

All I'm telling myself is that it's only the first game of the season... it's OK. But now we face the Saints in S.F. on monday night. By the way, the Cowboys lost to Washington, The Colts lost to the Texans and the Bucs won! It was a weird weekend for football. Oh, and the Lions got ROBBED. I'll bet a lot of money was lost in Vegas! Card carrying member of the Nanny State Liberation Front

EXACTLY! I have no problem jumping with unlicensed "up jumpers" which is what we used to call students who had graduated student status but haven't got a license yet. And I paid for my own jumps too! Guys with 100 jumps usually barely have the skills for a 4 way rw jump. It just doesn't make sense to pay them for a two way. Card carrying member of the Nanny State Liberation Front

GREAT JOB! That was fun to watch. All those different aircraft! Too much fun for one guy! Card carrying member of the Nanny State Liberation Front
