purplened 0 #19 June 1, 2004 Well considering Todd is my "hero" these days, I simply can not send enough good vibes, well wishes, hugs and support. I was just in Eloy last month for the Airspeed camp, and Todd was my coach for all my jumps, until my shoulder decided to dislocate itself for the 4th time. Like a hero dropping out of the sky, Todd followed me down, while I was in a delta position, trying to put my shoulder back in. He dumped out my main for me, saving me having to go to reserve, then spiralled down, notified Pat, who already had the ambulance on route before I even landed. So, not only is he a wonderful coach, he also helped me get through a really shitty ordeal, and was a total sweetheart. My boyfriend is sick of hearing about "Todd this and Todd that" I'm so sorry to hear about this, and please let him know that all his Canadian Airspeed Groupies are routing for him!

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #24 June 1, 2004 I am so very, very sad to hear this news. I was told, yesterday about this. My thoughts and prayers are with Todd and his family. He is absolutely an amazing and wonderful person in countless ways. When talking, Todd makes one feel like the most important person in the room, and he smiles so much that you cannot help but to smile back. Todd was my first instructor in the Airspeed Tunnel Camp. His huge smiles and friendly, down-to-earth demeanor and humbleness instantly sets one at ease. He made me comfortable by talking about his old home DZ, which is my home DZ (Elsinore). Todd, along with Eliana, made sure to walk or drive me back and forth from the hotel to the tunnel when needed after my incident walking by myself the first night. He helped to assure me that they (Airspeed) would all be looking after me if I went to the Eloy Holiday Boogie. When I showed up in Eloy, Todd (although extremely busy, working on loads with more experienced people) found time to jump a 4-way with me and a group that he put together. I was the most inexperienced one (110 jumps), so I know that the jump was basically catered to me. This jump was a 15000 sunset load with zigzag marquis block that was my absolute favorite jump from the boogie. Todd is an incredible instructor and amazing skydiver, but, most importantly, he is a very caring, down-to-earth man who brings a happy energy to all whom he encounters. I'm hoping and praying for his recovery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
