bozo 0 #26 August 28, 2006 QuoteI also work for Sin City Skydiving and the only reason I started this post is because there really is bad shit going on over there. It seem's like every time I talk with my little birdy over there they have another story to tell me about what had happened. Chris......there isnt anyone in the world that dislikes Skydive Las Vegas more than me. The fucker banned me for life. When you guys post shit like this.......while working at another local DZ....it just looks tacky, man, and smells worse. Besides all that, its poor business practice. Now if you posted shit like this about your next door neighbor......you know as well as I do know that Dale would come kick your collective asses. Stay above board Chris....just tell the story. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jtval 0 #27 August 28, 2006 I agree that the info should be discussed but the politics should be left out. thats why vegas sucks for skydivers. We all know that the business prcatices suck in the DZ's In vegas. but when the safety is effected we should hear about it in order to stay informed of whats going on locally.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites freeflychris 0 #28 August 28, 2006 Very well said Jt. As for Bozo's commit I would denifanty post a inicident even if it happend at my neighbors dz wich is on the other side of the wall.

It will all just get put under the rug and no one will ever here about it. Then when something does happin everyone will just say oh this is the first thing thats ever happin here. Well im just getting sick of seeing these shady dz's doing stupid shit like running planes off the run way when the brakes failed because there was a problem with them and the dzo wanted to finish the day. Or pulling low because there only going to 6500' having 2 emergancy exit's in a month.

Experienced jumpers have the knowledge and courage to speak up and cry foul when things like this occur (or before). Another reason not to send your friends to tandem mills…no commitment to the sport….no commitment to safety.- - - I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jtval 0 #34 August 28, 2006 It may seem that way. if there were fun jumpers around they would not stand for a "Full altitude" skydive from 6500ft AGL. so they wouldnt stay long anyway. the owners are so worried about turning a buck that they do mind false advertisement. They offer a higher price for lower skydives. the ONLY thing that I would allow for is that they offer a ride to and from the DZ. but that is why they charge $30-60 more than other DZ's. but they also cut the jump (altitude)in half. I sometimes Wonder Why the hell the instructors put up with it. I know a lot of them and I would LIKE TO THINK that if there was a serious safety issue that they wouldnt jump. I did speak with the instructor who had to exit at 4500 with a tandem. the plane was not gaining altitude and they felt the safest thing was to exit (rather than chance going down with the plane which luckily did not happen) I know one thing for sure. I try to tell all those who I talk to about a tandem to make their own decision. I also educate them on the things they need to ask. I bring about 4 tandems to the DZ/month on average. I am sure they have the best time that we can give them. I'm just a fucking vidoe guy. I don't have any affiliation with the DZ other than I LOVE to jump there because the people are great and there polotics are non existent....and they get what they're offered.

That fact they they beat him up at all was dumb and speaks volumes about the character of people who worked thereMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites toolbox 0 #47 August 29, 2006 Hey jt! I know what you mean.I came here from Skydive Oregon and everyone got along up in the Northwest. I remember seeing DZO's from the direct competition skydiving with us there.Skydivers would move freely back and forth from one DZ to another.You would see Skydive Oregon folks at Skydive Toledo.You would see Toledo folks at Skydive Oregon or kapowisin.The eugene people would show up everywhere.Everyone got along and had a shit load of goodtimes meeting new friends and learning from each other.The egos were put aside and the sweet goodness was about.When I came to vegas I was amazed at all the fucked up shit that I witnessed here.I have only returned here to help Brad achieve his dream of a real DZ that people can come to and have fun without all the vegas bullshit.The other DZ's are trying to prevent this from happening(Mesquite not included)since in my oppinion, all they want is to prey on the tourist(tandems) and huck em out as low as possible. Brad is looking forward to the day he can buy his own aircraft and offer 10000 AGL or better to everyone, students and experienced alike,but as of now leasing and fuel are tough on a new business.Even with that,he is planning night dives next month for experienced people.Give him a call and check on it.

Just how you described your local dz is how I wish it was here. its that way with Ogden and Mesquite. but they arent exactly local.
