michalm21 2 #26 April 18, 2011 he deleted that video, here's another one (pretty much a short version of that disaster plus some more) if you don't want him to delete it, don't post on youtube... I am trying to convince him in a civilized way that he is just doing it wrong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wja0ItwYeQ edited to add that it's worth noticing the tandem "videot" also doing a piss poor job on exit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michalm21 2 #27 April 18, 2011 Quote Good stuff. In the video in post # 21, check out the swoop at 3:00. Very nice. I'm pretty sure it's not him swooping Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the dz, and the general attitude seems very wrong to say the least. I never jumped in Poland and am not aware of what the regulations are, but i would not be surprised if they are strict, just not followed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michalm21 2 #35 April 18, 2011 Me neither, I also hate to generalize, but it seems like way too many jumpers from the eastern Europe (Russia, Poland, Ukraine, etc) show absolute disregard for safety, poor attitude and lack of any forward thinking. Ir makes me wonder if it's just lack of proper training, or simple cultural 'i'm untouchable' attitude I see it all the time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chiquita 14 #41 April 19, 2011 If you noticed the date at the end, Sept 5, 2010, he only did 11 jumps in 7 months. He's averaging 1.5 jumps a month, that's barely staying current. I feel sorry for the tandems that go to that place. They have no idea about any of it. They probably just assume that the people that are flying around them know what they are doing."Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chiquita 14 #45 April 20, 2011 Ya think Still doesn't make him any more current and that is not the time to be lurking a tandem. Low jump numbers, low experience, uncurrent, arrogant and ignorant all equal a disaster waiting to happen. Once again, I feel sorry for the tandems that go to that dropzone. I'm just glad he lives pretty much on the other side of the planet, which greatly reduces the chances of him and I being in the same general air space at the same time.
