popsjumper 2 #103 December 18, 2009 Quote....Maybe its because some douche bags got them in trouble once over it...I dont know. So....something stupid is done by somebody but it's a duche bag that reveals it. The douche bag is the guilty party because he let it be known? Not a very mature way of looking at things. QuoteOnce again though that is self-righteous of you to judge the jumpers at the DZ. From what i can tell they are just like jumpers at any other DZ. Well, there is one major difference...jumpers at other DZs don't support Slyride with their jump money. QuoteThe lowest of the low is to bash the jumpers at that DZ when they are no different from any other jumper out there. In some cases better. Again, well, there is one major difference...jumpers at other DZs don't support Slyride with their jump money. QuoteLots of this reminds me of 4th grade. /reply] And just like a 4th-grader, you whine about getting caught and blame your troubles on somebody else. ...and finally... You're part of the Slyride team...either man up and take your share of the responsibility or quit the team. Many have quit the team...that shows a level of integrity.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

To me it looks like that's what happened, but who the hell am I? Clearly, to keyboard jockeys this video is a sign of the apocalypse. I am actually going to have to agree on this. If there was cloud cover that kept the plane from attaining full altitude, then perhaps the student decided to go ahead and make the jump. I know that I have been on loads that we were unable to get to target altitude, and I did not request a partial refund for the difference. Also, at my home DZ(Cessna), if the plane leaves the ground and you ride it back down for any reason, no refunds. If it is cloudy it is understood (and explained to students) that there is a possibility that full altitude may not be attainable and the costs are the same (different prices for hop & pops and such). Now, the DZO is fair, and if the plane only gets to 2000' or so, they will work something out (planes cost money to operate) but it would be rare a tandem load would even try if they didn't think they could at least get to a reasonable altitude and the tandem student is fully informed of all possibilities and options. I have seen several decide to go ahead and do their tandem with less than full altitude. Disclaimer: Unfortunately my DZO does take SR certs at this time (we are working on changing thier mind), but this is my home DZ and I have a lot of family there. Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this." The optimist says, "Sure, it can." Be fun, have safe.
