3fLiEr 0 #2 January 7, 2002 If your so keen why bother with a tandem.......... go out and do AFF................ bsbd"In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiataDRM 0 #3 January 7, 2002 Hey, there is nothing wrong w/ doing a tandem. I plan on celebrating my 100 jump by becoming a passenger for once! :o) Seriously, I think the idea of you doing Tandem is a great idea. However, if you like it & plan to get your A license & continue w/ the sport...look into AFF. **I'm a Pschydiver!Majdi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3fLiEr 0 #4 January 7, 2002 If its a one off then yeah a tandem is cool......... but if you know you will continue why waste the time and money with it??? ............ 100th jump a tandem?....... can i ask why?..... why not do a big way?....or something for kick like a Mr Bill ... surely better visuals and experience?bsbd"In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aliala 0 #8 January 8, 2002 thanks all of your replies.i never done it before. if i don't do my first time with tandem, i don't know what it will be.i'll travel half the earth to Australia, and want to feel this kind of sport. since,there's no any dropzones in my place, it's difficult for me to do this activity many times.so, i'm really want to enjoy and try skydiving in the first time of my life.do anyone had jumped in Australia, Melbourne before?what special details i need to remind myself?

Billy 0 #10 January 8, 2002 Hay Harro,,Nice of ya ta offer ta show her around!! Aliala both have advantages & disadvantages for ya first jump,, tandem would be cheaper, with AFF youll be flying solo after the chute opens being talked down by a radio,, still about a mile up,, you would enjoy both,, whichever ya decide be sure ta get video of it!!

skyhawk 2 #16 January 8, 2002 i'll travel half the earth to Australia, and want to feel this kind of sport. since,there's no any dropzones in my place, so where you from if you are from overseas go to ramblers (its in brisbane www.ramblers.com.au) they are used to dealing with international visiters "own dz mode " oh yer and they are just a great dz with even greater ppl "own dz mode " Click Me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefallfreak 0 #17 January 8, 2002 Aliala,Ok, here's the deal...1.5 hours from Melbourne in a generally S.W. direction ia a place called Barwonheads..a pretty fair DZ. And 2.5 hours from Melbourne in a generally N.W. direction is a DZ called Bridgewater that is a smaller place but just as friendly. David, the DZO is pretty cool, I guess, and will work with you. Hope this helps you a little...FFF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
