leroydb 0 #2 March 24, 2005 link one quote Quote, just 3,500 feet from Earth, they tug a cord that sends out a pilot chute. That chute, the size of a garbage can lid, catches air and pulls out the main chute, the much larger rectangular canopy that floats the sky diver to the ground at a soothing 30 or 40 miles per hour. must be a tandem? but tug a cord? thats so OOOOLD anywho... happy to see them gettting good press. good luck guys!Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

rwieder 0 #3 March 24, 2005 Although i haven't been there in a while, this is one of my favorite DZ's. The DZO and his wife Deb are good people, and the staff are tops! They deserve every word of good press they get, cause god knows they've taken their share of hard knocks as well. Good luck SDSM!-Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #4 March 24, 2005 Great to see a 'good' article about skydiving. Especially, when it's Skydive San Marcos. SSM is a really cool DZ. Phil and Deb do a great job and have a great staff. Stories like that are good to see. Usually, the press runs the 'negative' stuff. Oh yeah, they mention Douva! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brains 2 #6 March 24, 2005 QuoteOh yeah, they mention Douva! We'll never get his helmet on him again. I was worried about what kind of story they were going to write. I like it, there are a few inconsistancies, but over all, i thought it was good. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Para-viper 0 #21 March 24, 2005 Good God, did someone actually write an article that characterizes us as something other than insane, suicidal adrenaline addicts?
