  1. Not sure what DZ you were at - I was at Weston. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  2. It is just the splicing of the video - It was around 4,500 - 5000 so at break off for our two way so I rolled onto my front and did a short track - there was already substantial seperation due to the other jumper being a novice sit flyer who was backsliding. Ockers - sunny England was sunny until today when it is thundery but is good to be back - I now have a 9 month old boy which was why we came back. he very politely spewed up in my camera helmet on Saturday the jump before that one!

  3. Had a close encounter with a glider in freefall on Sunday. Uneventful 2-way sit with a mate who is still learning how to sit, so we had a bit of seperation. At c. 5,000 feet we passed a glider - he was off to my left and in front of me - maybe 15-20 metres away - pretty hard to tell. The LZ at this particular DZ is used to launch gliders but they operate on one side and the DZ on the other - it is a huge LZ and the DZ has worked happily with the glider school for many years without incident. It is thought the glider in question was cross country and not to do with the school. We were the fourth group out after a 10+ way track and 2 2-way flatties. There was one solo after us that did not see the glider. The glider was not spotted from the plane before exit, and yes I did have a look. There was scattered cloud at c. 6-7K. It freaked me out a bit as you may be able to imagine. The incident was reported to the DZO. Anyway check out Glider CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  4. I don't think there are any riggers in the third world city of London to be honest. there are a bunch at the DZ's but they are all a good hour out of london. My suggestion to the original poster would be to ask one of the kind London Skydivers to take your rig to the DZ next weekend... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  8. There is a bunch of accomm in Empuria itself for all tastes and lots within 5 mins walk of the DZ. I stayed at Maurici Park apartments and that was pretty decent. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  9. Generally crime increases after things are banned. Before they are banned it is not illegal to have them, after it is. Therefore if even one person keeps there gun or buys one then the crime rate increases. An analogy - when Branson took over Virgin trains he put complaint notes on each seat and some people filled them in. The headlines all read 'Train complaints up 200%', but that was misleading as all he had done was make it easier to complain. Continually repeating that gun crime increased in the UK after the gun ban actually achieves nothing as the response is - of course it did, they are illegal now duh! CJP Gods don't kill people.

  10. I picked my Triumph Sprint ST up last Friday and so far it has rained every day. I have managed 200 miles on it nonetheless and look forward to being able to open it up properly. the power delivery even up to 5k revs is awesome and it is so damn light. Love it. And now I can wear Tirumph T-shirt's, I mean who would be seen wearing a Honda t-shirt... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  11. I just have to tell you all how fucking cool this site is. I mean, it's clearly not a patch on dz.com and skydiving radio but it is a very cool. You name musicians or songs you like then it plays you similar stuff you might like. It really is very cool and a great way to listen to new artists. CJP - Not affiliated with pandora.com
  12. One would assume that if the pictures demonstrate a 'stunt' that the child is not actually hurt during them. The stuff on the floor may be solid on two sides and not in the middle therefore meaning the tyre goes over his arm without hurting him. not much of a stunt if your monkey gets hurt is it? Initially the pictures shock and someone uses them to garner hatred against Iran. People see what they want to see as is so deftly demonstrated in this thread. Note - were these real I would be as sickened as the next guy, it just intrigues me that the way people get people to believe without question is to state that it happens in the current country of distaste - in this instance Iran; therefore building anger with that sate/country CJP Gods don't kill people.

    Don't jab it into your thumb. My father-in-law did that and had to go have more injections due to the vaso-consticting properties of the adrenalin. And he is a doctor. Actually, do jab it into your thumb and then keep us up to date with events... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  19. I hjave just put down a deposit on A Triumph Sprint ST. Pick it up on 19th. I do lots of motorway miles in and out of London so need a comfy bike but also one that is sporty enough for my weekend twisty riding. I have had a VFR 800 VTEC for 4 years and it has been an awesome bike. the only reason i am changing is that I have had it for 4 years and it's about time to. For sport touring go for exactly that - if you want to race on a track or only go out at weekends to ride fast then a 600 sport may not be right for you. the R6, Triumph 675 etc are absoultely awesome bikes but not that practical for lots of miles, especially for me at 6'3". On the 675 in my natural riding position I can't see the dials and after an hour in one position on the motorway my wrists would have fused into one bone. From what you say UI would reccomend the VFR, the Sprint, maybe one of the big BMW bikes - they are also awesome, or even a big V-Twin like the 1000 Suzi (big bro to SV650 can't remember every combo of letters and numbers though). All that said I am moist in anticipation of my triumph - and glad to have bought British! CJP CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  20. Sounds like asthma to me. I had it as a kid then it went away and now it has come back. Try running 1/2 a mile again and seeing what happens but just stop if your breathing gets hard. If it is an asthma attack - and any shortness is an attack they just vary in severity - then the best thing to do is keep calm. Panicking just leads to a worse attack. Just be careful and take it easy, maybe even run with someone. Once you have identified the problem then go see a doctor. It is treatable and it is safer to have a puffer and not need it than need it and not have it. Let us know how you get on. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  23. I haven't done it yet - apparently one of the guysis organising it but if I haven't got it sorted soon i will use one of the companies that does it for £25. How do you say '2 pints of lager please'? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  24. I'm pretty sure my wife of 5 years won't be too happy about the Russian bride. I am looking forward to flying Aeroflot. Just hope they let me take my rig on as hand luggage... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
