but advice will do.
Going to do AFF and BBF at skydive U. Thinking about doing a hundred jumps over a month after that (i know it will be hard work but so fnuck) and i cant decide where to go. Perris deal of 14.50 sounds pretty inticing but not sure what freefly coaching is avaible there- where do freeflyboyz jump? Any suggestions as im going in big on the debt front so i want to get it right.
Plus CLAY- what do you recomend taking to idaho for the washing machine experience.
Plus if you buy a rig in USA and bring it back to UK Know any clever ways to adviod customs grubby fingers getting the Tax from it- i don't want to pay as i feel i have already paid for the entire hospital system by buying ciggarettes and have built a few miles of road by buying petrol (and the fnuckers just keep on raising tax)

Dont have any invoioces etc in your bag.
Put it in a hard Samsonite type case, failing that carry it in a beat up rig bag.
Just walk thru at customs without mentioning anything, if q'd/searched, plead ignorance, "whatya mean import duty??"
Better still, make up a 'fake invoice' from "John D'oh rigging services, anywhere UK" on your pooter, stress it a little, crumple it up and stuff it in your log book.
Oh, and of course jump your rig a few times, it will take the new shine off it.....
But don't tell em I told you to do this.....All this is highly illegal, if you suffer from moral issues, pay the duty!

AggieD, nope, this doesn't work, I got nailed cos I overinsured it and had to pay duty on the inflated insurance value . This was via DHL, but same thing applies, this was a couple of years ago tho.

Oh, well, that was my first thought, but then again I haven't jumped the pond since I was a little boy and when we did that it was on a c-141 with the Air Force to the Azores...

"17.5% VAT"
in Finland it´s 22% and customs takes iirc around 3%..:(

Skydive Deland has a great freefly school. I've never participated but I've heard great things and I know the guys who teach are very cool and very good flyers.
RW~~no longer *just* for the belly-jumpers. Pretty soon, we'll all have grippers on our freefly suits.
Much love and blue skies,

It's more than 17.5% if it's going through customs. It works out to about 24 or 25 I think.
Best thing to do is carry it through and say it's 2nd hand.
When you participate in sporting events, its not whether you win or loose, its how drunk you get.

the flyboyz are out of perris, where they offer freefly coaching to aspiring freaks.
perris also hosts tons of load organizing for both belly and freefliers of all experience levels. fritz can often be heard over the p.a. calling folks up for tracking dives, big tube exits (yesterday was a 9-way, plus 2 video), etc.
there's also a skydive u campus (ulli's an awesome coach and just got back from germany), various skills camps, and a bunch of friendly folks to jump and hang out with.
plus... it's southern california. when you're not jumping, there are endless things to do and places to see.
geez, i'm sounding like a brochure. http://www.skydiveperris.com/ and http://www.perriscam.com/.

Skydive Deland has The home of SkydiveU and a well organized Freefly school (Freedom of Flight) With four instructors two who used to work for olav zipster. They also have a Skyvan (I think perris and chicago and Az have one of these also). The weather in Florida is usually good unless a large group from England arrives.

Skydive Arizona has SkydiveU,Arizona Freeflite,US Skysurf to name just a few. Lots of coaches of all disciplines.
Lots of different aircraft, gear shop, ect... You can take a virtual tour at their website. The temperature will be more moderate in Perris, just depends on what you like. Either way, they are both excellent.
It only takes a little pixie dust......

There is no Skyvans around Chicago, sadly. The only other Skyvans I know are in Eloy (Skydive Arizona).
