It only stops him from doing tandems at the 2 other dzs on long island. Geoff does not live on long island or near long island, so it does not stop him from making money doing tandems anywhere else in the US. If you choose to drive from Texas to New York to do tandems when you know you signed a contract saying you wouldn't, that's your own fault. And let's not pretend that geoff wouldn't or didn't have info that he shared with this other dz that's ON THE SAME AIRPORT as Brians. If the dz had been say, 50 miles away, it may have been a different story, but we'll never know. Like I said, you're entitled to your own uninformed decision and quick judgments. I've stated my opinion on Brian and his operation and that's all i wanted to do. Buh bye now

I guess the courts disagree with you about the contract being bs, and so did Geoff because he agreed and signed it. Him being fired had nothing to do with getting sued, you're right, but I do think Geoffs character should be taken into account if his story is going to be believed and allowed to cast a negative light on Brian. I'm not going to argue with you guys, and I don't care that you're willing to talk negatively and judge someone based on one persons account of a situation you know nothing about, and I know Brians business is going to continue to thrive with or without those of you angry about this. Working for Lisc and signing that contract is certainly worth not working at the other dzs in the area, if you don't think so, don't sign. Your choice. This is a truly silly and ridiculous argument, but please feel free to continue without me.

I worked at Long Island Skydiving Center in 2014 along with Geoff, and signed the same contract. If it had been something I hadn't agreed to I wouldn't have signed it, end of discussion. Nobody forced my hand, so how can anyone be mad that Brian chose to enforce it? It wasn't hidden, you didn't have to search through fine print to see it. The terms were very clear from the beginning. I have worked at a lot of dzs around the country and have never found a place that compared to LISC. Brian is the best and easiest dzo I've ever worked for, and the only one i would choose to work for in the future. He runs one of the smoothest operations out there. We had a few bad apples that threatened to spoil the bunch that season, one of which was Geoff who was fired for numerous extremely valid reasons and is now complaining because he signed a contract and obviously didn't read it or believe it would be enforced. Who's fault is that? I don't know any other dzo that i would bother to defend, and this is the first and only post I've ever taken the time to write. Bottom line, if you don't like the contract, don't sign it. If anyone chooses not to work at LISC because of this thread, you're truly missing out.

First off this was my home DZ. The instructors and coaches when I started were great. Then the DZO stepped in. He is extremely unprofessional and rude. He doesn't care about fun jumpers and is just looking to get as much money off of you as he can. He made me rent his extremely old, unsafe gear until I had over 50 jumps and yelled at me when I didn't rent from him. The SNTA doesn't know USPA rules and regulations and they are constantly changing the rules they decide to follow and ignore. They treat fun jumpers as employees. Also they have no bar, restaurant, or camping available as they claim. I would not recommend this DZ to anyone.

I love Mesquite! I live in Vegas and happily travel the extra distance to jump here over the other vegas dropzones. The staff are helpful and happy and its a good vibe all around. Thanks Brad!
