(have you met the guy? And I don't mean one time for 5 minutes years ago, I mean actually sat down and talked to him or watched him teach? )
Well, I have met the guy many times and I have sat down with him and listened. Each time I found him to be arrogant and self centered and his favorite subject to brag about is Kip!
(I personally think it's sad that you feel it's necessary to bring someone down who is doing so many good things for the sport)
If you are trying to make him look like he has some integrity then how do you explain the fact that he stabbed the folks at a competing drop zone in the back after they diligently campaigned for him and were largely responsible for getting him elected?
Oh yea, on the pilot chute thing, Mr Lepka, you forgot to mention he's a rigger too. If I had all the money Ive spent on skydiving, I'd spend it on skydiving!
