RMW, wow, what can you say, i have seen many of them, excellent quality, bloody good price, extra pocket for free and ready in a week! Anyway, mine has not arrived yet but they just sent me the pic so though it was my duty to post. Kind of wish I had not got thirds but am sure I will be happy when i put it on, kind of like superman and his red undies. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

What sports would you play in that jacket? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

A suit in the uk will cost you around £300 if you go for the inner leg grippers etc. I think you should go for the booties and tuck them up for a while maybe. People in the states need to realise if you import a suit to the UK you pay for the suit, then you pay for shipping, then you pay VAT. Suits here will cost you about £300. If you just want to get through the levels of flying that boring rw to get you up to being allowed to freefly, dont waste £300 on a RW suit, get a second hand one for £100 and buy yourself a protrack with the rest of the money. If RW is the disciplin you want to get in, spend your cash on a top quality suit with all the bells and whistles as this suit will last you. I said speak to Maddy at dzsports.com cause she is a dealer, she is also one of the most trusted dealers in the UK, is an avid 4-way flyer and will hook you up with exactly what you need. I imagine she will recommend you to have booties as she will want you too to become a 4-way flyer. Figure out the sort of disciplin you want to be involved in. If it is freeflay, once you have 100 jumps you will start that in the uk and have to spend another £250 on a freefly suit. Don't be affraid to ask people what you need but ask someone who enjoys your company and gives you the time of day, then speak to the dealer about what you want and ask for discounts on the options. we are all on the same page here, one way or another you must have an rw suit to skydive in the uk at most dropzones as you will not be allowed to freefly yet. You must pass your FS1, and for that you need a suit. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

IIRC, the first 6000 is from 0 to 6 o'clock, which is the same as a regular alti. But you're up to 12k by 9 o'clock, and 18 by 11 o'clock. That's what I meant .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Well i am talking about a person here that starts WARP training on 25 jumps. Dont you thin she should get use to the sky and the feel on her own body before she goes and covers more up? A person with 25 jumps putting booties on straight away can not be the greatest idea. Let the student get use to jumping before changing things on them. You must know a student can only jump with a coach in this country until they have completed a 4point 4 way. Or they can jump with others as long as every person on that dive has passed the set 4 point 4 way with them being the main worker. If i what i am saying says to you that they should have booties on i say they should learn to track without the aid and learn to feel the optimum body position before giving them selves boosters. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

the rest of the questions you are asking need to be answered by your instructor. You will need grippers for your warp and fs1.. booties are no essential. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

i asked gravity girl the question before i bought one. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

asymetrical goes to 20k with the spacing changing. the other means it goes to 12 k or maybe a bit higher and staying in increments of 1000 feet. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

First suit you need in the UK is an RW suit. Do not even think about getting a Freefly suit as you must past different levels of qualifications before you can even atempt to freefly. You need to get all your WARP in or at least to a level where you can pass your 4 point 4 way to be able to jump with other jumpes who do not have FS1. You can then after usually 100 jumps at some dropzones buy an FF suit and move on to sit fly coaching so you can then pass your FF1 to be able to sit fly with others. RW suit is more or less a must. As i said speak to maddy, she owns pointzero and dz sports and is an AFF instructor. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Is that a plane you are standing inside of or are you just doing the pose before bedtime with the new gear? That is a nice looking suit. Mine is on the way this week i am to understand. I cant wait for it, all in one week, new jumpsuit, new alti track and i get my new canopy back that i loaned to the g/f. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

What do you mean by the playback? do you mean playback on the computer with software or does the needle go through the last jump with you or something?? Thanks. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Thanks, i like to hear this from people with lower jump numbers cause it is them that are new to this and know what is good about boogies, i think the people that have been to so many boogies are getting involved far too much with politics and shit. I can wait for the WFFC but i hope it aint full of people with egos that bash other boogies as that is really turning me off. That said, i had the best 2 weeks of my life at Eloy xmas and hope this can match. It has alot to live up to after the eloy experience. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Our group is going to the WFFC. I have to say though, i dont know who is involved in what boogie but all this bitching has definetly lowered my expectation and at the same time my excitment. Maybe that is a good thing though cause i will not have my hopes raised to high. I would like to go to the Skyfest as well but money does not stretch that far. People please stop the bitching, there is a few of us paying over $1300 US dollars just to get to the States and with all this bitching it makes us wonder if we made the right choice. I really want to look forward to this but can not help reading this thread that is very off putting. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

This could have been a great thread until it was ruined but what seems to be people affiliated with each boogie putting each boogie down and going on about whos landing area is safer. Anyway, there are a group of 10 of us from the UK and new zealand that are wanting to meet up at the WFFC, but we could be pulled towards skyfest, Someone is saying that there is 3 special aircrafts rolling up for a few days. Can someone tell us what these aircrafts are or at least what dates they are coming. You see we are tossing up between flights to chicago on the 18th, or 21st or 23rd. I don want to know who is better or anything, i just want to know what or when these three special aircraft are rolling up. I got to admit, there does not seem to be much excitment about the WFFC on the forums this year it seems to be that spaceland is the talk of this year, makes me wonder if the WFFC will even pull 1000 people this year. We are all from NZ and uk and after Eloy want to go to the biggest boogie we can find as Eloy really blew our minds away at xmas and we want to go where this can be topped. Saying that though, i am starting to sense that Eloy can not be topped by either boogie. Am i wrong? These three planes that might roll in, if you can tell me what they are, willl they blow our minds out of our big toes or not? I would love to see a blimp or a stretch hurcules. Is there a list of the people attending the WFFC? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

You should get your notebook, a pen, your own little table, a chair, a mic and be your own independant unofficial judge and video it. You might be able to sell it for a couple of bucks and upgrade to a video8 camera. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

uh yeah, same sentence, not good. You are now sounding really pathetic. You should just leave this alone. It would not take much for your new dropzone to read your slandering and defamation to not trust you and let you jump at their place. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

It is good to hear that. My partner who is a web developer said to me that you could not find out other users ip's on this website, that is why i asked. Guees it was a bluff then. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I think it is shit what this guy has done. If he did it under his username, fine, but to hide behind another name and trash the business that helps you continue your sport is wrong. This guy deserved to be outed, however your statement here is very concerning to how he was outed.... So this guy was found out by his I.P. address so VX says but the problem there is this statement by Dropzone.com If there is a privacy policy for these forums how is that his I.P. address was told to another user? Or was it just a bluff Honesty works both ways. I think if Dropzone.com has just breached their Privacy statement they should trash both threads that are about this subject. As it is not good for their privacy policy and on the other hand is that not a law suit waiting to happen? I trust these forums not to give my information out to third parties without contacting me but this seems to be the case here. Please tell us you did not give his information to another user Mods as this is just is more serious than what this other fool has done. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

That is fair enough from your experiences Dave, I have seen a student just graduate AFF and then buy himself a digital alti, cool, he is playing with it around the dropzone learning all the cool features on it and then it is kit on call, he is kit on still playing with it and then late for the load. Instructor stops him for his gear check as he is running off to the plane. Cypres is not turned on, chest strap is twisted. Sure, it is the instructors job to notice this stuff but he does not need gear checks anymore as he is 'A' licensed now. My point is that students have far to much more to worry about than a new toy that reads climb rates, freefall speeds etc.... In the UK, or maybe it is just the drozpzone i jump at, there is a minimum requirement to jump a digi. Dave, i think if they start off on a digi, that is cool, i dont know about safe, but i am just use to analogue where it is even color coded come pull time. I think students should not change gear from what they have learnt on so early. It may not be as important as some gear issues but it is a distraction. This bloke was so excited over jumping his new neptune that he did not turn his cypres on or sort out his chest strap, he should be excited that he is jumping from a plane and has turned his cypres on and taken all safety precautions, not fixated on a new toy so early on. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Aren/t most people only ever sorry if they get caught? It is very rare to be truly sorry towards anything unless you have been caught. Of course unless it was a very deep mistake that you make but do not need others to tell you about it for you to feel the emotion of dissapointment or sadness in yourself to feel sorry on ones own. Sorry for that added comment. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
