I'm in the same boat. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Whilst a year out is a reasonable amount of time I would consider doing your currency as an AFF level rather than a tandem. You quoted one of your reasons for not jumping as financial but a tandem refresher will still require another refresher afterwards so will cost more. Do what you are comfortable with but with 46 jumps you should be able to grab the bull by the horns and go straight for the instructor jump - you never know you might find tandem more scary as you are used to being in control... Just my opinion however, do what YOU feel is right. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

JR & Kennedy & The SC Gun Club need to face up to the fact that they will have a hard time persuading the English people on this site that we were better off with guns. The reason that no English person is coming on here saying "Damn, those assholes took my guns", is because even when you could buy hand guns, hardly anyone had them. We just have never had the same gun culture as you. I once asked Aggie Dave if he had ever had to defend himself or if his friends had and he knew a dozen or so people who had defended themselves with a gun. I don't know a single person. I know no-one who even got into a situation where they would have been better off if they had got a gun. Not one. This is not because I live with my head up my ass but because it is a very rare occurance. And Jack The Ripper references - come on guys, you got to do better than that. It was over a hundred years ago, he murdered 5 people (confirmed), wow thats your argument for keeping guns! Naming people who have killed without guns doesn't reduce the number of people who kill with them - the ease of access to guns and the relative anonimity with which you can kill is what makes the difference - the sniper never had to look the person in the eye and watch them die.

Bulk buying tickets-any disadvantage
CornishChris replied to Unparagoned's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I always buy tickets in blocks of 10. The only reason i don't buy them in 100 is I cant afford AU$2700 at one go. I am farily confident Langar won't be shut down - if it does you become a creditor. Just don't lose them. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people -
Word. Sydney Skydivers jumps 7 days but generally only a few loads during the day in the week as it is tandem driven. If you are coming to Oz for a month I would highly reccomend doing a little bit of travelling - there are plenty of rent a wreck places you can get cheap hire cars. You could stay at the DZ, they allow tents and there are showers but there is not much else around. Sydney is kind of a sprawling city and the DZ is an hour away by car. There is a bus that goes from the city to the dz evey day to take tandems so even if you stayed in the city you could jump daily. PM me if you want some more info. CJP Gods don't kill people.

Wasn't JR & yourself comparing machines designed to project peices of metal at thousands of feet per second designed specifically to kill with sticks and stones. The point there was that they were all inanimate objects and that if you got rid of guns people would kill with other items. Remember "fear of inanimate objects", you wrote it. I said the same about nucleur weapons, just inanimate objects - my demonstration was that the former was a truly ridiculous statement to make. You backed that up quite nicely. Thanks.

Dude Nuclear weapons are just a tool. An inanimate object - it would be foolish to be afraid of them, why don't we just let everyone have one. I mean if people want to commit genocide they will do it with or without nukes so we may as well just let ehm have them. See what I did there? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Good point JR, I mean the sniper in Washington could have bought the city to a standstill and killed all those people at random by running up to them and beating them to death with sticks couldn't he. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Kind of a repost as someone linked to it in another thread but no discussion ever got off the ground. Just started it - totally different from anything else I have seen as it requires you to use other programs, google answers etc. Anyway - waste some time people: http://deathball.net/notpron/ CJP Gods don't kill people.

Check out the video of Tom Aeiello (sp?) with a line over on a BASE jump - he uses his trusty hook knife and all is OK. I am sure he will post a link if you ask him nicely. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Aussies - Skydiving on Today Tonight

There are generally a few loads weekday mornings but this is often driven by tandems. Sometimes there are teams training and they will put the smaller aircraft up. Around easter when the boogie is on there will be week long jumping - reallty depends on the time. not too hard to get 3 jumps in on a good weekday though - most i ever did was 8 on "Big Thursday" CJP Gods don't kill people.

150 or so. All fun jumps. This year probably less due to plans to return to inclement UK weather... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I started to read the article but it went wrong at: "Orgasm is not the point. " Pretty much went downhill from there. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Picton is having the $25 boogie I think. The DZ is about 50 mins from the airport. Best way is either: 1. Find some chump to give you a lift 2. Get the tandem bus out of town (leaves at 7am) 3. Get train to Picton then get someone to pick you up Will you actually be staying at the airport or are you planning to get off the plane then head down? CJP Gods don't kill people.

Get a rigger to make up a larger slider as another option - 1 canopy size larger. A mate just had a 170 slider put on a spanking 150 Sabre and the problem has gone away. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

"Get into the plane ready to get out of the plane" - in reference to guys wandering up to the plane with straps undone etc. My Aff instructor went on to say that in the event of an emergency in the plane he wouldn't be waiting for these boys to get their shit together and if they were in between him and the door then tough shit. Also: "Practise your reserve drills just before exit because then if you have a malfunction the last time you rehearsed was about a minute ago" CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
