Slyde 0 #1 June 4, 2009 Here's some new language that is getting good chuckles from FAA: "This will certify that I have purchased 31 years of deception from the USPA and have stopped helping them to understand proficiency as it relates to professional skydiving entertainment." AND "Each jumper on this performance will clearly understand how FAA has mistakenly come to believe that the USPA is a current representation of the state of any art." They are EATING this Randy Shit UP! pork r eDo onwardA Peace Prize within minutes of Bombing the Moon. Coincidence? "Beware the Military Industrial Complex." You GO Ike!

Slyde 0 #6 June 5, 2009 QuoteQuoteAre you really putting that in your dash two's? I put it in the cover letter and into as many conversations as possible. I will publish the entire list of FSDO manager contacts soon so all performers can sing along. FAA is NOT impressed by your representatives. Folks. They are not impressed with jumpers in general and they credit USPA for our collective ineptitude within the system. I agree. And I try to educate FAA employees mostly at FSDO levels, but I will be writing to Regions almost exclusively once thisseason winds down. USPA is a ball-n-chain ... correction ... WAS. The organization took a dump in Randy's bitches. I'm mad as hell and I'm NOT going to take it any more. fuggem who needs 'em They do more harm than good.

I don't know the details of Mark's case, but I know that he has the right to speak out (here, within the guidelines of dizzy TOS) and I support his right to be heard. Keep on truckin', Mark.
