  2. ASL sorry, what is MSL? above sea level? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  3. I am wondering if skydivers think it is a big deal if you do not have oxygen in a plane going to 15,000 feet? I dont mind it personally if the plane is a fast plane, i know the aviation authority's would think it is a big deal but do skydivers? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  4. I did work there, but have quit and come to the uk. It is a great sports dropzone but i would not work there again Other good dz's are abel tasman, glen orchy..... i love queenstown for jumping with views but i think it is about $60 for a sports slot. i might be wrong there but someone will fix me if i am. taupo is good for views but is all about tandems. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  5. can anyone let me know what the vibe or numbers one can expect on a tuesday at hinton? also what time jumping starts and if there is a club fee? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  6. skydive auckland, all loads to 14k, for $30 nzd. 100 jump package = $2500 from porter dash 34. 14k feet. 200 jump package = $4200 from porter dash 34 14k Feet. you have great jumpers there and a good vibe. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  7. I wish i was that close, i am in andover, just near nethers. I know you jump there, could you tell me is sarah hardwick is jumping there after returning from NZ? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  8. no, we are 6 months in nz as well. fuck it is hot today and i have no wheels to get to a dz .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  9. of course, i am mistaken. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  10. so everyone has a theory on all these kids shows like noddy and scobby doo etc..... i am watching this advert on tv about the new whinnie the pooh dvd with a new friend the pink elephant... this pink elephant is a 'male'. It brings mt to think how come every animal in this show is a male and there is a male called christopher? why are there no females? does anyone have a theory? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  11. Maybe you are not sitting back in your harness? this would make you reach out with you legs to land. If you sit in your harness you will land nicely without reaching. I imagine you already know this so doubt it is the problem but this is what i thought of from reading your post. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  12. cheers for that, i imagine weston is busy cause Hinton is closed. Always interesting times jumping in a new country .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  13. i am about to make my first jump here in the uk and i am wondering about my reserve pack. I think i have heard that if you jump gear in the uk it must have the red cotton tied around the reserve pin. Is this correct? my reserve was packed two months ago in new zealand and does not have this. I am wondering if i am allowed to jump this or not in this country. Also how often does the reserve need to be repacked in this country? Cheers in advance for any advice.... Yes that was the word 'first'! Also does anyone know what is going on at weston this weekend? are there many jumpers about? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

  16. better your hotel now before everyone at the airport and all workers need a hotel room .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  17. bbc just said more than 100 casualties and double decker busses are transporting them .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  18. damn just realised the scales were out of wack no, i did lose it, and i ate about a quater pounder and a big mac a day. The reason i was on this food each day was because my teeth are killing me and mcdonalds food is soft, hot and right next to the dz. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  19. well, who would have thought. I am telling the truth. I lost 8 pounds in two weeks from only eating mcdonalds. Now, i wonder if anyone will belive me. On my life though, that is the truth. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  20. hahahaha...... american of the year LOL... get over yourself. My mother runs a charitable organisation but i have never once heard her rattlle off everything she does. Some people have this huge thing with giving to charity and then telling people about it, do you really have to prove yourself? I bet you voted for bush at the same time as making all these donations. bring on the flaming, or should i say.... go on defend yourself. lets have a big competition, the person who gives the most to charity... wins, and there prize is that they can donate some more to the charity of their choice, and as an added bonus, they can sit here and tell everyone about it so they feel special. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  21. what does that mean john? darkwing, rw is not forrbidden, it's just that this is a freefly boggie It is a great island, and people should show some interest .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  22. Just curious if any international skydivers would be interested in a boggie that we hold in New Zealand each year? It is a small secluded island off the east coast of new zealand. Slots are very limited and when we have the meet there the only people on the island are jumpers as we book out the whole island. It is a place for freeflying and no rel work. The cost for all accommodation, fully catered and beer as well as 15 slots over the three days with every landing being a beach landing and every jump being from 15,000 feet out of a pilatus porter with a dash 34 engine. The cost is $600U.S. dollars and it will be held in December. Aditional slots are $14usd and you can buy packages off us at our home dz for 200 jumps from 14k for $4400nzd. let me know of any interest and i can send you a dvd of the past meets. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  23. where can we find the names of the people who got on the record? is it all over now? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  24. Get over yourself! What should they have been paying attention to? It was a stunt and they should have been paying attention to the stunt at hand, that was not to drop the nintendo. Did they? no!. they did good then!. It is amazing how so many people sit here on the net and preach like everyone is so safe and so fucking perfect when it comes to skydiving. I must ask why are dropzones not as stuck up as people in these forums that think they are so perfect? oh, i see, because dropzones are for skydiving and these forums are becoming for people that think they know it all. You have 200 jumps and have a problem with someone playing nintendo in freefall. I guess you would never play with a space ball or a raft or anything in freefall because that would be way tooo wrong. Man i wonder if someone told joe jennings your statement when he jumped out of a plane sitting on a car? Go jump and pay attention to your extreme boring attitude! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
