Greetings from Canada, a skydiving Roadie!

[Soundcrafter 0]

Hello and blue skies to all of the folks here! I've been lurking for quite a while with not much to say since I'm very much a n00b. It seems I got into the wrong industry to skydive, seeing as working on shows has me busiest in the warm months and winter skydiving in Canada is a very coldddd prospect!

I had been keen on saving up enough to buy a rig this winter, but through reading all the downsizing threads and advice that has been ignored on many of those I'm quite happy to stick with the student Nav 210 I've been most frequently finding myself under. So far I've got 16 jumps through the IAD progression and am eager to get my A come the spring!

Welcome to the forums!
I hope you get the chance to get your A license soon. Maybe you should just come on down to a warm climate and get the jumps done.

Become a roadie in the states.
When I was down in FL I met a guy that does concert lighting for I can't remember which band. Anyway he had like a month off to spend down in FL going through AFF.

I work on all kinds of shows from large rock shows and outdoor festivals to corporate parties/dinners as well as small shows and bands in bars! SDC makes a good point in saying come work in the states, the market here is pretty poor for this kind of work because the population is so spread out. I've thought about relocating!
