lundis 0 #1 April 24, 2003 Anybody know what he is doing these days, I have red something about him being in a accident and started flying jumpers instead of organizing. I`m just wondering because I have herd a loot of good things about him and was looking forward to having him as an organizer later this year when I will bee visiting Skydive City.

happythoughts 0 #2 April 24, 2003 Saw him last weekend. He was not in an accident. He is not skydiving due to a physical problem. He is now a pilot. He will not be organizing, but there will be many other world-class organizers there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmpnkramer 0 #3 April 24, 2003 Yeah Like Bill said he is now a pilot. He ruined his shoulder awhile back and is unable to jump. He was flying right seat during the Easter Boogie and helping with the loading of planes. He seems to be doing pretty good. Although he will not be organizing there are a bunch of good organizers at the Hill. Nigel, Oren, and Zero to name a few. Heck I might even do some.The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!

dkpbxman 0 #4 April 24, 2003 Mike was one of my S/L jumpmasters back on Long Island about 10 years ago. Very good skydiver and very nice guy. I knew he got into flying but didn't know that he couldn't jump anymore. That sucks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #5 April 24, 2003 I think the final re-injury of his shoulder was at the Borneo Exotic Boogie last year....Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #6 April 24, 2003 QuoteI knew he got into flying but didn't know that he couldn't jump anymore. He told me that he is not jumping for 2 years per doctors orders. During that time, he decided to do something constructive and get pilot instruction. What will happen in the future? Who knows. I wish him the best and hope that his shoulder recovers fully. Even if he can't return to skydiving, he is a great resource for knowledge (9000 jumps). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,068 #7 April 24, 2003 >Mike was one of my S/L jumpmasters back on Long Island about 10 years ago. Me too! (sorta.) He had just gotten his rating when I started jumping there. I think I had like one jump with him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
