You do realize submissions don't end until Friday....they probably won't call until after everyone has had a chance to turn them in

Just sent in our casting email...no one can stop my team!!!!

I agree that first time i had one break on me i about sh*t myself the sound that it makes is so scary...I wouldn't be in the back country anywhere out west this year...so dangerous

http://espn.go.com/action/freeskiing/story/_/id/7593035/avalanche-washington-stevens-pass-kills-three So sad, but even the best being as careful as they can, sometimes shit happens...its life

I agree to a certain extent... it would be a process don't get me wrong...but we do have a national ski Patrol..and every state follows the exact same outline. And yes it would be be best under uspa...national and state trainers..some paid some volunteer..and the good Samaritan act covers almost everything...except complete negligence...was just a thought...hope all dz have a good plan is all

As a new skydiver and avid skier (having competed in freesytle events in upper levels and coach x games athletes) I was curious how many dz have any type of emergency protocol similar to a ski areas ski patrol. I am on ski patrol on a local hill in Ohio and have my outdoor emergency certificate...very similar to a first responder certificate. With skydiving having a high impact (generally) as a mechanism of injury. It just seems as though DZ's should have at least a couple of staff members that are very aware of how to treat someone with these types of injuries...could mean the difference in life or death....just my 2 cents

Probably one of the coolest family oriented videos I have seen in a long time

Amazing

I give a shit!!!!!!!!...my kids have to grow up in this F.U.B.A.R place...if we all gave a shit just a little more who knows what would happen

Haha....we will hit it hard in the spring....honestly I posted this because I was so tired of people asking for advice here on dz for their first rig...its not hard to figure out....I guess i have it good though lots of super experienced people at my dz..Aerohio...Sherry....Peter....Adam...Conor...and everyone else...can't wait...170 jumps before I can strap on a wing...its really what i want to do....then base but that's a ways out...love this sport

Finally ordered my first rig!! Early Christmas/birthday present to myself...since it won't be ready until may..ordered a vector 3...with alot of goodies...putting a used safire 2 170 and a pd 160 reserve...cyress and a skyhook....got the stowless bag option as well...can't wait!!! Here is to a quik winter and a long summer

Some friends and I were having a discussion the other day about a flat tax. Not important what the rate would be but do you think it is fair or unfair?

I agree with alot that has been said, since I just finished my aff and got my A I though I would chime in. I started reading watching gorging myself with skydive info about this time last year. I read everything I could get my hands on watched everything I could find. I am one of those that has to know as much as possible before I start. I don't believe you can be to prepared for your aff...while each dz may do it a fuzz different its all basically the same. I have to say skydiving has changed my life but it has definitely added so.ethjng that has been lacking for a while. I used to ski semi pro for years but the young 33 year old body couldn't keep up with the 16 17 year old phenoms of today....skydiving has filled that void...good luck to all of you... fyi....lots od money and time...be prepared to sit at the dz all day to do 1 or 2 jumps during g the first couple of phases....be nice to everyone at the dz and become good friends with manifest..got my license at Aerohio in Akron Ohio...amazing people amazing place...sherry butcher took me all the way through my a...she rocks...amazing place to learn if your thinterested...thanks to everyone there.

I have two beautiful children and a beautiful wife..I haven't given up anything....the money doesnt go as far as it once did...diapers are damn expensive....while I feel it is super important to spend as much time as possible with them....I do feel as though you HAVE have some quality ME time....the ride up to altitude is such a great way to reflect on the things you have.....I would ratherv my kids no I went out living life to the fullest...

When i did backflips, front and barrel rolls is when i finally said to myself ok...i got this. Figuring out that you can get unstable and then become re-stable was a huge confidence booster for me... I have lots of flipping experience so it was rather easy for me but still a huge boost. Also in my aff program we do 2 sitfly's as part of our requirements. So fun to learn!!!!
