scotts 0 #52 August 18, 2014 John, are you sure you put my name on the tickets? I'm wondering if you were distracted by "not shipping a bicycle to Poughkeepsie". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #53 August 18, 2014 MickochetJohn, This was not a high performance landing done improperly. I saw this landing and Ryan did nothing wrong, Freak accident. Yes, and I didn't see it. It's still under investigation. I did talk to several witnesses and they had mixed observations. I said "high performance canopy accident" as a descriptor to gear and wingloading. Causes are still undetermined. Sad, sad day. Thanks for your reply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #54 August 18, 2014 scotts John, are you sure you put my name on the tickets? I'm wondering if you were distracted by "not shipping a bicycle to Poughkeepsie". Nope, they made it in. I'm not a statistician, but I'm always surprised at how one jumper will win 2-3 items and others get skunked. I'm sure it's all logical, but it's not intuitive to me. One guy put in just ONE single ticket. Won a 4 pack of Mariners Baseball tickets. Don't hate him. He's a great guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
