  1. sucks to be you dude, cat piss is the worst. You should get the 75 dollar bill and go and give a copy to all of your neighbours letter boxes that have cats. Surely there will be one neighbour that will think it is justified and pay the bill. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  2. 30 U.S. dollars though, it aint cheap to skydive in thailand like you think it would be. For 200 baht you can get a nice airconditioned room on a beautiful beach in koh samui, am meal for 75 baht, i back of smokes for 50 baht and a jump ticket for 1300 baht. I would have though skydiving would be a cheaper option in thailand. the owners will make a killing considering the operating costs in thailand and theur overheads. Though it seems like it is being run by americans or europeans, there is no way that a foreigner can own land in thailand, they must have a wife who is thai who owns the land or a person who is part of their company who is thai who owns the land. This says to me that at any time when the buissness bevomes sucessfull the thai person who is owning the land could easily turn around and say to the foreigners who run the dz that they are not welcome anymore. Unless of course the land is rented out by a government interest and the Thai king is making some of this money. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  3. this is what i was thinking of when i was saying you could jump once a year at. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  4. There is a mini boggie next feb/march at their dz, you will find this in their dz web site forums. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  5. No i am not 'positive' but have been advised of this many times. Something along the lines of their being a boogie there once a year when the thai airforce let you jump or something, am i wrong here? Please correct me if you know different but i know there was a huge boggie recently, a one off i know but thought there was also a day that the airforce let a boggie happen. I am interested in finding more out on this if anyone knows more details of skydiving in thailand. I have even heard that there is plans of a dropzone opening. check out there website, there was tandem skydives happening today and on the search i just did there was a dropzone close to there that closed last year and this new one opens this month. http://www.skydivethailand.com/ .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  6. I like it though it has never been jumped yet. Got a nice silver fern and the letters N.Z. on the shoulder strap. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  7. where are you now in thailand? out of curiosity, how can you be there for the next 6 months? are you crossing the boarder ever every month to renew the visa? You will find that there is one day a year of skydiving allowed in thailand. I am heading back for my 6th time in febuary for a round three months. i Went to a thai boxing camp on koh samui last time i was there so will be going to stay in the camp for 2 more months and then head up around chang mai. I cant wait to get back to thailand, i am having withdrawl symptoms of the thai food and culture. Life in thailand is like nothing you could experience without being there. Nothing to worry about and lots of adventure. last time i was on koh samui we hired some bikes and went uo to the middle of koh samui, got lost, ran out of gas three times, the ride should have taken a few hours, we were in that jungle for around 14 hours, completley lost, going in circles, pushing the bikes up massive hills, an asthma attack, my mate got bitten on the head from a monkey....this was the greatest day i had in thailand. Take it easy have you asked for any toilet paper for xmas? or maybe a toilet that has a flush? oh, the luxuries of thailand. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  8. I take it there are no blue skies at your place today huh .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  9. I got 2 pc 105's. I got a coverplan on it when i bought it. My car got broken into. cam got stolen and then i got a replacement from the coverplan. 2 months later the police ring up and say they have recovered my camera and my laptop from a raid on a house. I was in no position to argue with the officer I have held on to it just in case the store ever rings up and says, they want one back, but that was a while ago now. I should try to call them i know, but......um...um, i cant remember where i got it from .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  10. no dream broken there mate, the dream was broken when i bought my new rig and canopy's, cant afford anything more. Well i bought the 300v anyways, knowing it was a film camera. On the instructions though it is called the 300v rebel Ti. Before the 330d came out, there were film cameras called rebels. Were there not? Anyways, i worked out a deal out with the girlfriend, as soon as i have the cash for the 300d she will buy my 300v off me and one of my pc 105's. (Aint it nice having g/f's who appreciate second hand cameras.) .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  11. at 21 jumps you should wait unti around a hundred-200 jumps before you blow all that cash, you will more than likely want to downsize. There is some really good used gear in the classifieds. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  12. LOL...can't ya? Jeffery did you hear everyone say it was going to be a ghost town and there will more thatn likely be no loads? Or do you just have selective hearing? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  13. Well said, best answer!!! I mean i was reading the question and that is exactly what pops into mind. Sorry but it does. LOL .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    Big Bear

    Love to see you say that if one of these were charging at you. So what you are about to be eaten by a bear but instead of doing something about it, Kbone will just sit there and let it happen. You sure about that. there is no contridiction there at all. A bear does not let us kill it and we do not let a bear kill us. would you rather that we cant kill them and they cant kill us? get off it. beautiful creature by the sounds of it but i aint going to stand there and let it eat me. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  17. Mate, You will overcome the fear, and start to get out the door quicker and experiment with flying styles and landings. It is alot to take in when you first start. I have not jumped in a while and am now getting back in it. I am scared shitless for my first recurrency jump. Can't wait though to get it out of the way. Jsut keep asking questions when you have them but always, always take thee advice you get to your instructors before you belive it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  18. i have read about broken femas caused from extremley hard openings. never seen it though. Do realise that you are involved in a risk taking sport and a broken fema is the least of your worries. Sure a broken fema would be bad but you are jumping out of a plane. You need to realise the risks in the sport before you can be comfortable. You might never break a bone in skydiving, you may never injure yourself, you may never see someone hit the deck. You must be aware though of what can happen and what can go wrong. it might be a good thing that you are scared breaking your fema because then you will make sure you pack properly each time. I am scared of hitting the deck, so i go over my emergency procedures all the time when i am waiting for my load. Sorry to put things like this. Do not let fear put you off the sport, it is good to be nervous, otherwise i would have to think you were crazy. I get the chills everytime i am on jump run. I think it makes a safe skydiver though. ( as safe as i know how to be). Take it easy and always think positive or things will go wrong. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  19. yeah, no worries. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
