Sorry. I asked this question to a reputable gear store owner during the week and that was this persons answer to me. Sorry. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

That would be the ned of the friendship. People knowing more about things that i do all the time compared to them never doing. See ya! You bore me! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Cypres. Vigil seems to have alot of notices being distributed. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Airtwardo- Thanks. The things is, it is not guaranteed is it. I know of people who have gone in and i have found it emotional but i have not seen it nor have i ever met anyone who has gone in. I know the chances of seeing it is huge, even bigger knowing someone but it is not guaranteed is it.... Besides, i jump out of planes as often as i can in my life and the one thing i learnt when i never pulled on AFF level 5 was when you think negative, negative things happen. In this sport, i only ever think positive. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

This is incorrect, but a common misperception. If you receive goods or services for any donation, it is not tax deductible. You can claim it, but if you get audited, it will not fly. Donation goes directly to the charity and Don offers the ride as an enticement. The ride isn't on the receipt - don't ask, don't tell. You can not legally jump the jet or the L39.... Don't ask don't tell?? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Here are a few more pics of suits i have just had made up. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Well i hope i dont know anyone who dies skydiving. I see no reason why you should say that i will either?? I am sorry you do know people. On the other hand, i lost my 2 best mates in a car accident and three months later another and then 8 months later 2 more. Plus many more that i knew but would not say are good friends. And i come from a country of 4 million people. Nobody i knew there died skydiving. Lets not get into this argument though. It never ends .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Well i am. . I do not know anybody who has died skydiving. My personal experience. The driving vs skydiving theory has never been debunked. it is more dangerous. You have no control over your car when in a skid, when another car is screaming aat you in the wet, when another car crashes and then hits you, when breaks fail blah blah blah. Skydiving is much more safer. there are 20 canopies in the sky at once, hundreds of cars on the motor way at once all going 70mph next to each other with no protection. Yes, Driving is more dangerous than skydiving. In skydiving we do everything we can to make it safe, driving, we do nothing to make it safe before we get in the car. We have no control over other drivers on the road, we have lots of control over who we jump with, where we get out of the plane, where we land, where we pull, and the gear checks we do. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Have you read the incident forums of driving a motor car? You get your license at the age of 15-16 in alot of countries. Driving will always be alot more dangerous than skydiving. Who does break checks on their car before they get in it? We have more control over our parachutes than in a car. If the guy can afford it and the parents say yes, hell, go for it. If they say no, tough shit. my parents said no to me having a beer so i waited till i was of legall age. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I am not actually my parents kid. More of my parents grown son. In my reference to lots of other kids, i was not reffering to the age of under 17 as in new zealand you must be a minimum of 17 before doing AFF. What about the kids that had like 1500 jumps at the age of 17? ( i think that was around their jump numbers ). They seem to be doing alright. If the parents say yes with it, i see nothing wrong with it. it has been proven many many times that the ones that start young are pretty fucking good at the sport. I read the incident threads and it seems to me anybody can die doing a hop'n'pop. Age does not make a difference. Training is what makes the difference. as well as natural talent. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Exactly...BUT here this is what someone else might come out of the blue and do to you with out expecting it. With skydiving you are presenting yourself to death and then saving your life. We all put ourselves 10 seconds away from deaths door on purpose everytime we jump. We think quick and save our lives. Bit different from the dangers of someone might knock me over by a car. With skydiving you are standing in front of the car playing chicken till the car is 10 feet in front of you at 100mph. Once you have paid for the course then you need to pay for reserve packs, license, consols, coaching, gear hire, buying gear, getting to the dropzone, 'Firsts", . and jumps to stay current. The course is the cheapest part. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Just out of curiosity.... Do you or any of your family members jump? For some reason i was thinking you were a non-jumper. I know lots of kids that started jumping when they were 17 with parents permission but the thing is they can afford it. I don't agree with any of us giving this kid ideas to use against his parents either. Not our place. The thing is if i had children they would be jumping as soon as they were allowed by regulations to do so. I grew up doing motocross, rugby, competition trampoline, rally driving, surfing. I think each one of those is just as dangerous if not more dangerous than skydiving. The only reason i dont think kids should be jumping is if they do not have enough money to pay for it. It is a very expensive sport. I was lucky with some of my sports that i could not afford to do when i was a kid and the only reason i could was cause older family members were involved. The whole thing of it not being safe, well nothing is, just with skydiving you are conciously putting your life at risk every time cause of the one danger that worries you about the sport. With racing my dirt bike i use to worry about breaking a leg. With skydiving on at least 50% of my jumps i think of the thought of dying on the way up to altitude. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

AMEN. No point in starting until you can afford it and keep jumping. Wait till you have some money behind you. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I hear people talking about opening up a gear shop and rigging loft in LONDON. Now pointzero has moved away there is a huge gap in the market and certain people are in talks about investing a huge amount of money in something new and much bigger. Keep your eyes open for it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I love all superman movies and shows but this sucked. I really expected it to be alot better. The next one should be good. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

£17,000 of debt is not a concern at that age. Some people have mortgages that are over £100,000. Damn, what skydiver does not have that in debt? Rig, AFF and jump bill. Most people i know want to get in more debt to jump more but can not get the credit rating. Hell if i could get in a million pounds of credit to spend on jumping i would go for it in a flash. What is the worst thing that can happen to you being in debt??? Nothing, Bankruptcy so you can start again. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Are there any jumpers who actually thought it was suicide. He went through all his procedures, someone who is going to kill themselves aint going to bother with that. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

It was a hard story to watch at times. What a shitty day that must have been for you guys. I guess you are pretty lucky that you were kept out of the spot light with the media and the whole who dunnit thing. He seemed like a nice guy. Can't believe how that party in the dress lead to that old rumour that he was gay and was coming out so his mates killed him. I heard that in a pub a couple years back Looked like a good night. Blue skies. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

LOL.. I take it you are the camera man I could not imagine any of you guys doing that. Must have been hard for you watching that last night. Hope you are all good. I was joking earlier but at the same time was wondering why they never mentioned the cameraman on the dive. Even Hollow said that he saw the other 'two' parachutes and could not find the third. What about the fourth. I was not aware you guys have a camera pool for the event. Hope all is good for you mate. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

The narrator had guilt in his voice .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Do you know of any cheap old rv's for the $1500 mark or is that dreaming? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I aint saying that I wonder if the show will do anything good for this case. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I would have left the country too mate. I don't know what to think of them, i don't know them. In my heart i believe it was murder, i doubt very much it was any of his team mates. I do wonder why the team mates were questioned and shown in this bad light but the camera man was never mentioned. Not saying it was him, but he was kept very quiet. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
