No offence taken ron and i agree with your point. Though there is more than one speed The thing i think though is that everytime you jump you are prepared for exactly what you are doing. You have a dive plan, you know break off alti, you know pull time, you hopefully know emergency procedures. ou know landing. Driving a car, there are thousands of different people you do not know on the road driving next ot you and towards you at different speeds. you dont know when you need to slam breaks on, when someone pulls out in front of you, when someone falls asleep at the wheel coming towards you, when someone comes up your ass cause you have slammed your breaks..etc etc.... With skydiving we are usually prepared for the different things that can happen. Yes we put our lives 10 seconds from death everytime but we are prepared for that. We are not prepared for that with driving as we do not have aplan. Nor do we 'Gear check' our car everytime we get in it. Most people drive at around 70mph ( if not more in the UK ), 2 cars coming towards each other is very fast impact speed, and we do not know nor do we trust the person ( hundreds of people ) driving towards us with a gap of 5 meters to the side and in between. Deers run out when driving etc... There are far many more variables that could go wrong with driving on a public road than jumping out fo a plane with gear checks and a dive plan and jumping with someone that you trust. I really believe the logic i have given you here is strong. Hey, it may not be safer but i feel alot safer jumping than driving. I also like to think i am a confident driver. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

You work in a gear store???....BTW what ever happened to that school you were promoting then not promoting??.....any chance I can get a deal on something from ya What has this dropzone that I was working Marketing for got to do with anything? FYI, i was working marketing for a Dropzone where i started this school up in one country and now am residing in another country on the other side of the world and getting work at a different dropzone.... as you do. This school that i was promoting, i still do try to. I have sent many people over there for this country as well. Please do not get this school confused with the school that i felt was a rip off either. (if you have read those posts). And for your reference to my concerns over a boogie... well that has nothing to do with this thread. I am glad you think your posts and opinions are all so correct and perfect that you can try and belittle myself in this thread. I have never seen anyone try to make other peoples opinions sound like shit cause they do not approve of their other posts. But then again i have never seen someone with as little experience as yourself ofter being in the sport for 5 years. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Hard-core rapper Ice-T is grooming a new rapper, one that he says will astonish the rap world with his skills – David Hasselhoff. Ice-T recently revealed that he and Hasselhoff, star of 80’s action television show “Knight Rider” and the worldwide hit “Bay Watch” are working on a rap album. After striking up a friendship in Los Angeles due to the proximity of their residences, Ice-T agreed to produce Hasselhoff, who will reemerge as emcee "Hassel The Hoff." "The man is a legend and we are going to show a whole new side of him," Ice-T told UK newspaper The Sun. Hasselhoff, 51, is more than just a television actor. He is also a mega-star in Austria and Germany. He has released seven albums and the most recent, My America, went as high as #11 on the Austrian charts. "The Hoff will surprise people with his rap skills and humor," Ice-T said. Hip-Hop has had an unofficial relationship with David Hasselhoff for numerous years. The theme music to “Knight Rider” has been sampled by various rappers over the years. Submit News! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

What about my medical certificate?!
bigway replied to Dustyke's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Enjoy! Why did it take two posts to tell us that? one at the start of the day and one at the end. If you are looking for advice, ummm, get a job? If you can not afford it.... you can not afford it. If you can not afford to see an eye doctor, you are not going to be able to afford gear,alit, rigs, cypres, canopy, repacks, membership, balh, blah, blah. Get a job. Problem might be solved. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

bigway replied to Dustyke's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
skydiving is a very expensive sport. if you don't have money for a eye doctor visit, then you probably don't have enough money to learn to skydive. Why didn't i think of that? .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -
You just made me spit my water all over the screen LOL .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

In the Uk if you under 40 you can fill the form in yourself. My suggestion is just to fill the form in yourself anyway and get some random to sign it. What do they care? .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

Ring Maddy up at dzsports. She will get it couried from you for an extra £20. Doubt at this point of time you will find a rigger in London. I may be in London on Friday if you want me to take it up to the dz. I too am off to the WFFC so could get it back to you in time for your flight. What date are you flying out? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Really glad it sounds like a packing error to you. why do you come to this judegement so quick?? I was quick to say send it back to the manufacturer just like nearly every other person said in this thread. Yes i added get money back or new canopy. I said that in hope for him that it was not his fault. Don't say i am too quick to judge and then make your own presumptions. I work in a gear store and when things like this happen you sen it back to the manufacturer to look at it and investigate why this happened. Not to shift blame but why this happened. Manufacturers are usually pretty good at replacing their products or fixing their products when things like this occur. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

What's your basis for making this claim? Well from what he said and after the same happenning to me over the weekend on a different canopy but not to the point of the lines actually breaking the first thing i would do is send it back to the manufacturer to have them look at it. It could be a problem with the canopy. Though i would send it back with the d-bag as well. Over the weekend I jumped a certain canopy that had 50 jumps on it. The canopy is designed to open very slow. The canopy opened faster and louder than anything my dealer had ever seen before. I felt the thud through my back. This happened twice out of 4 times. It really fuckin hurt. The canopy was packed by our head packer each time. The bungees were mainly all brand new. Later that day a visiting jumper to our dz had the same opening on a similar canopy. He had already broken a femur from a bad opening on this canopy. (why he jumped it again i dont know). Lines broke this time again. The reason i say send it back to the manufacturer is for two reasons. Let them have a look at the canopy, the d-bag, the slider, the bungees and let them decide what happened. Maybe the canopy is at fault, maybe a packing era. The public deserve to know exactly what it is if it was a canopy fault. The manufacturer needs to know as well. I am not judging. Maybe i was just hoping he would get a refund. But sending it back does not mean it is their fault, it can just be investigated properly. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

send it back and get a new canopy would be the first thing or at least get your money back off them. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
