  1. Oh. I have come across quite a few classifieds posted where their last log in date of the posting user is around 2010. And the ad is recent. quite odd.
  2. Hi guys. Can anyone tell me if it is legit if a new ad has been posted but when looking at the profile of the user who posted it it sayd that they last logged on it 2010. Is it possible to post an ad without logging into your account and is it possible that there is a glitch with the profile. ? Thanks and Blue Skies :)
  3. Did you end up going second hand or new?
  4. Thanks guys. So it would seem the price for the second hand canopy is pretty accurate. :) Just got to weigh up if I really need certain colours lol and want the challenge of packing a new chute. Thanks again :)
  5. Hi all. I have been doing a fair bit of research and found that for my first rig I would like to have a Storm 190 main. Brand new these are $1930. I have seen one second hand Storm Size: 190 dom 04/2010 Jumps: ~300 for $1500. Is $400 less for a main that is 2 years old and 300 jumps and not preferred colours worth the saving. Both mains require that I pay for the shipping. I am not sure on how this gear depreciates in value. Thanks
  6. yeah awesome :) It seems that once you got your A license the world really opens up for new places and progression. :)
  7. Would love to be able to get tunnel time but unfortunately we dont have a wind tunnel here in WA that I am aware of :( not to worry just get more jumps to get it right :)
  8. thanks guys. yeah like a strafish is not the way to go. Just got word the girl that was doing the course the same time as me got stuck on stage 6 also but after a couple of goes she got it. Like use said loosen up. :) thanks again. :)
  9. Hi guys. I am new to the sport of Skydiving. (still doing my AFF) and my last 2 jumps haven't been that good during freefall and exit. Under canopy I am doing quite well and landing really close to my mark, except for my solo where I had to find another landing area due to too long downwind (but my landing was still good and I was happy I could find another landing area and do what I needed for a safe landing). So I was wondering if anyone has encountered people who are really just not meant to do this. My problem is i am usually quite uncoordinated and keep turning when I try to fall still. My last 2 AFF videos are here AFF Stage 5 - http://youtu.be/25imV8gyqA8 AFF Stage 6 -http://youtu.be/n3d27IqY0Xk I am having a bit of time off about 2 to 3 weeks, due to work and a pooch just out of surgery so am trying to reflect and fix my issues before I get back to it. But havin a bit of doubt of my abilities and if some people are just not meant for this sport. Thanks.
