  2. Their policy is pretty vague - i never had any problems in the past though. A group of four of us carried ours on unbagged with no probs when we flew in february. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  3. I know this question has been visited a few times but I am not sure if it has been done since the new security rules have been in place. so has anyone managed to carry on with Ryan since since the new hand luggage bollocks came in. My frustration is that the luggage allowance is just 15kgs so if I have to include my rig in check in I will be screwed to the ground for the rest of mine, my wifes and my sons luggage on our trip to Empuria in a few weeks. Any help would be much appreciated. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  8. From the truly well written article by a person who has clearly spent a great deal of time in and around the UK: Bollocks. Utter, utter bollocks. Would you like me to repeat that? Bollocks. Having just wasted 15 minutes of my life reading what essentially constitutes nothing more than a glorified book review, in which the writer of the article has taken all of the information in the book at total face value having done no research to verify it, I am truly surprised that you even bothered to post it. Do you honestly read these things and believe them or do you have the capacity to believe they may just be someone’s slanted view on life? This article is one person’s review of another person’s view of an aspect of a country. The author has basically laundered the unsubstantiated information contained in the book to make it sound like definitive facts to his readers. It truly staggers me that some people in the US can be so down on a system that they know so little about and that an article like this can then be used in an argument on an internet forum - banded around like it was fact. What is it in the psyche of these people that gets them such gratification by attempting to demonstrate their perceived superiority over another country in such a way, and peddle their sycophantic, self promoting, denigratory diatribe as the unadulterated truth. Rant over. Read the article, propaganda at it's best, downright lies at it's worse. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  9. I put down 'Jedi' in the 2000 census here in the UK along with about 390,000 other people. How we laughed. http://www.statistics.gov.uk/CCI/nugget.asp?ID=297&Pos=&ColRank=2&Rank=1000 CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  11. I was in no way criticising you - if you take a look at the comments on skydivingmovies he gets pretty slammed there. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  12. It is not an ideal situation. My guess as to why he cut away is that it looks like the two canopies were starting to seperate and he may have been worried about a down plane occuring. As he turns right at the start it is not clear if he is using the risers or toggles but they definitely start to shift. I am not condoning his actions, just pointing out there is often more to it than appears. If this had gone into a downplane at 100 feet he wouldn't have walked away. He did walk away. As long as people realise that cutting away a stable biplane is wrong then he has survived an incident, hopefully learnt from it and we should move on and not slam him too much.

  13. OK - I'll bite. Here is my boy Ben - he is 10 months old and is awesome. A month or so ago my wife bought him to the DZ and he threw up in my camera helmet - what a legend! CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  16. "PEOPLE WHO WEAR RINGS SHOULD TAKE UP BOWLING!!!! " You could get the ring caught in the bowling ball and lose a finger though. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  17. It is a great DZ but there is pretty much nothing to do in Kolomna and surrounds if you are not jumping. Therefore take DVD's, books, PSP etc. just in case the weather goes south. I would recommend going for the upgraded room in Hotel kolomna (if that is where you are staying) as it is less like a Romanian orphanage and only go in the lift one by one unless you wish to spend 30 minutes in the dark in a lift with no one who speaks English on the end of the crackly intercom. In Moscow I would recommend going to Cafe Pushkin for dinner - is is moderately pricey but very good. We also went to a Banya which was a good laugh and very Russian but not recomended for the shy. It is kind of a sauna, swimming pool, birch beating place for blokes. Sounds odd but was pretty chilled out and relaxing I would honestly say that unless you are a real keen tourist 3 days in Moscow may be too much - We managed the main sights in a day and still had time to visit some more salubrious places. The hotel we stayed in was $100 for a twin room but I am damned if I can remember the name - give me some time and I will find it for you. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  19. "Still gonna wear a ring? " Yes. You could post a picture of someone who had gone in and ask if people were still going to jump as well. You may limit these risks but there are a dozen more snag hazzards on my rig itself than my low profile ring on my hand. I could break my fingers catching my alti strap on something - should I leave my alti behind too? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  21. I don't read newspapers to find out whats going on in my country any more - I just log on to Speakers Corner and let JR do the work for me. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  22. I just paid £5 per bag for the flights I booked to Girona. That was £20 for my wife and I to take 2 bags each. Comedy when you think the ticket price is 44p. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  24. I agree - the gliders are normally great - I have been jumping at Weston on & off for 4 years and they have always worked well. This one was clearly a lone gunman. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
