-Joey- 0 #1 June 21, 2013 I've decided from this point forward due to the great and plentiful expert advice from davekapela, billvon, popsjumper, artwardo, wvm, and others that I'm never again going to aggressively downsize and will from now on follow billvon's checklist for each downsize and/or change in canopy type. I'm leaving the SoFPiDaRF (very hard for me to do) and changing my middle name from "Downsize" to "Safety."Skydiving is serious business Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScoopUK 0 #7 June 21, 2013 dthames http://www.mikeroweworks.com/2009/08/safety-third-huh/ Interesting, true to an extent. The more people overtly preach safety the more it becomes background noise and we tune it out. Anyway... enough of that being serious lark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowlerk 2,190 #12 June 22, 2013 -Joey- we need your type here. You come here and talk like a fool and it gives everyone a chance to explain why you are a danger to yourself. Others who are new are watching and they get to hear just how risky poor decisions can be. Don't you see? It's not about you, it's about the influence you give us on others. Don't be teasing us about changing.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't be teasing us about changing. Trouble is.. flying like a dumbass and doing stupid shit under canopy has effects on other people. When some tool augers in.. all the people that have to see that shit are affected.. Cleaning up that mess sucks. How many tools flying too small canopies and like shit have killed our friends? And do we have to mention other tools who fly their bodies like shit in freefall and injure others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krip 2 #19 June 27, 2013 Hi AJ Joey talking the talk is easy, walking the walk is another matter. Joey is going on a road trip during the boogie season. So heads up folks no telling whos flying there crotch rocket in the pattern and their skill set. I hope Joey has really cleaned up his act, and will walk the walk for everyones sake.

I guess it's never too late to join SoFPiDaRF. Better late than never. I told my AFF instructor when I showed up for my FJC that I was a member. I thought AFF stood for Advanced Flying and Flare. I was scolded after AFF3 for coming in on my toggles. "So many fatalities and injuries are caused by decisions jumpers make before even getting into the aircraft.
