USPA’s latest recognition for service to the skydiving community came together as the result of an important act of generosity, along with imagination at the right time. A “Judy” will be voted on with ballots during Safety Day activities to one jumper from each drop zone who in the past year, through example, deed, training or innovation, has promoted safety in the sport. Awardees may include anyone on the drop zone who has made a noteworthy difference to the safety of local jumpers. Where did you get those statements from? They are not what the USPA doctrine says. .

OK, after doing a bit more research, it appears that the USPA guidelines say that each DZ's Judy Award recipient should be chosen by the DZ's DZO or the S&TA. Other documents (ETA: thanks, Krisanne) say, a bit ambiguously, that the award should be "coordinated through the USPA Safety & Training Advisor organizing Safety Day and the drop zone owner". Very interesting. Nonetheless, a number of DZs do choose the award recipient by ballot of DZ jumpers. Anyone know what method Lodi uses to choose the recipient?

tdog 0 #30 April 4, 2010 Quote How much does it cost to be a memeber as a Drop Zone ? Everyone always quotes how much it costs the DZO. Less than a thousand bucks. Pocket change to a DZ... But the real cost... The fees that the USPA charges it's members, and since membership is required by all jumpers as a GM... It can be tens of thousands. The Group Membership program is a way to get guaranteed customers. GM DZs check your USPA card often before your rig or log book when you show up. It is the "jumping tax" group members collect. I see it every weekend... "Great, you passed Level 1 AFF. You want to do your second jump today? Wow, that is great. Before you jump, I need you to fill out this USPA application and send in $65 bucks.... Ya I know this will be your most expensive year in skydiving with new gear, $2000 for aff, etc... I know it is silly that a new skydiver has to pay more than a renewing skydiver just when they are spending $2000 in a month on instruction... But the USPA does good things for us... Pay the tax first, then you will see." Ok, this was overly dramatic to make a point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sad thing is everyone is always so ready to bash lodi, because we do shit our own way..... its funny how more than 3/4 of lodi jumpers are uspa members, and 1/2 of them are world championship skydivers...... even Bill is a uspa member he just isnt a dzo uspa member wich keeps our jump tickets low.... someone do the math and tell me its all about money at lodi? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JohnMitchell 16 #34 April 4, 2010 Even dumber is that all these USPA folks should know that there is a Judy handed out at each DZ on safety day. It's very rewarding to receive, but hardly a singular honor. I've never jumped at Lodi, but if Bill is keeping his fleet of planes safe and good pilots at the helm, and his tandem and student gear is well maintained, I'd give him a Judy. Our DZO does just that, I think one is deserved by them too.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites hjumper33 0 #40 April 6, 2010 For the amount of jumps done there, Id dare say that Lodi has the best safety record in the country in tandems, and perhaps fun jumps, though a horrible tragedy last year boosted that a little. The lodi sequentials are some of the best freeflying ive ever seen, you have one of the best crew teams in the world training there, some of the best wingsuit regulars in the country, and countless foreign national teams, and even a recent group of airforce cadets that all jump there. You make any mistakes in safety, bill will throw you off but quick. Say what you want, but Lodi is a pretty special place.
