mac266 0 #29 April 16, 2003 Quote The Chief instructor looked at my 22 jumps, the last 6 had been trying to sit fly, and told me i wasn't going to be doing that again for some time bah.. no fair. who wants to fly belly to earth... ... go to any UK DZ and they will tell you the same! - Learn to flat fly first! you aint got the awareness to freefly with 22 jumps! Jesus dude! wind your neck in and listen to the guys with 1000's of jumps telling you this - its cause they dont want a fatality! Loose the attitude and you may find people will help you - keep it - and you will be doing solos! ha! Billy No mates!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuickDraw 0 #30 April 16, 2003 I was thinking more of the people who got out before you on the load, and them knowing what you are doing. I think it would not be a good idea to name names too. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac266 0 #31 April 16, 2003 Quote I think truly the way to go is Hinton! I have heard more bad things about Headcorn since i returned, unless your in the 'click' then forget it. They're a bunch of arseholes forget it your too good for em, jump Hinton instead :) Yeah like DE is gonna let the flyboy with 22 jumps go sit flying! - hehehe - let me know when he asks I gotta see DE's face!!!

bluepill 0 #39 April 16, 2003 Hi Zee Yeh it sucks doesent it coming back from a place like Seb (Fl) to the UK "military style" DZ's. But most places, once they get to know you are pretty cool. I've particularly found Hinton to be a good vibe, but Im sure most DZ's are like that once they know your sticking around. Dont worry about your enthusiasm to do cool stuff before the basics. Im pretty sure everyone has felt like that at the start. Just be sure to listen to advice, no matter how hard it is to take... Dude, you said your funds are lacking....Just a tip M8, if you get a chance, on the weekend, then try to learn to pack....it will save you bucks in the long-run.... and erm its fun... If you do decide to learn then make sure you ask to learn on a new ZP Hope u get in the air. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have yet to show my face there, Highfly (Matt) has been pestering me to get up there, I want to, but i want my fs1 in the bag first, burning holes in the sky won't learn me anything.

Tasadin 0 #44 April 17, 2003 As it happens MAC i wanst insinuating Hinton would let him FF. I only have 50 odd jumps but I did FS1 out in FL knowing that the home DZ's wont let u try FF without it. What I was getting at however, is that the vibe at Hinton is markedly different to that at Headcorn. I only spent a weekend there but found everyone to be very friendly and helpfull.
