What can we do about Skyride?
bigway replied to ChasingBlueSky's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
and you are therefore insured while the other person is not so that will be their problem when they drop a reserve handle or a camera on someones property and not yours .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

in new zealand you will not be jumping if it is raining. There are only a couple of dropzones that are allowed and will jump through cloud. If you are going to mercer the weather there usually blows over and you will find that libby will keep you there waiting for that to happen. I imagine you will be doing your tandem though in taupo or queenstown. In taupo itt is generally a nice place and gets some really good weather, nice place to jump. Queenstown gets retrticted to with the weather but if you can not jump there on the day i advise you to wait around a couple of days as this is the most awesome place i have ever jumped anywhere. If it is raining in fox glacier, it will be raining hard but i have been told that it is amazing there jumping. I think the best places for you to to do a tandem are glenorchy, qeenstown , nelson, taupo and of course my dz mercer. if you are at any of these dropzones and your jump is called off because of the weather, hang around for a couple of days as the views and the experience at these dz's are priceless. This message is me presuming you are travelling nz. Hope you enjoy it and i would love to hear where you are jumping and how it went. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

so all this talk for the last five days sound really good.....but is anyone going to do anything about this? there is enough people here that want something done about. Now are the american jumpers in these forums going to team togethor and make the USPA do something about it? I am sure you have an AGM where enough people could get togethor to force your association to do something. I am very interested to see if this forum will turn in to action instead of just debating and arguing. I am not from america but if i was i would be right uo for dedicating my spare time to bring these guys down. Good Luck guys and do something about it! .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

most 100 jumps i know have always been the traditional 'getting pied'. cram pies and crap thrown all over you. In new zealand when we know someone will have their 100th jump in coming weeks we will all save old cream and milk and dregs of anything that goes disgusting and bath them in this when they get their rig off after their 100th jump. The odd person will do the naked jump but what fun is that for the people on the ground? Then they will buy 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 trays of beer or 5 or 6, depending on themselves and how much they want to celebrate. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

do you want to send me the address for your dropzone or something and i will post you a stack. i have been travelling for years and still am. I have a day pack full of postcards that are about to get thrown away as i can not carry them around with me any longer and dont really have anywhere to keep them. They are yours if you want them. i have island of thailand, europe, south east asia, australia, fiji, rarotonga, indonesia, uk, and other little islands. i will post them and when you recieve them you could send me postage through paypal. I bought them to send to mates back home but kind of realise you can write more ina an email .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Wondering if I'm too much of a wuss for AFF!
bigway replied to Lucie813's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Sorry, i am well aware of this and i was not meaning she should rely on this as that is not what i said but the problem with my post is that i never really said anything to a student. She is thinking about learning. I think knowing that you are on radio gives you a sense of safety. This is what i was trying to project. She is not a student yet and i am not an instructor. I am very extremley confident that her instructor will tell her all about radio and body signals and radio failure and canopy control. I was not going into detail as she was asking a general question and i was telling someone who has not signed up to learn yet that she will be under radio guidence so she can feel comfortaed by the thought until she starts AFF trainging. I never saw the point in explainging every detail of skydiving to someone who has not made a decision yet. I will also never give advice on training until i am an instructor. Sorry if it came out like i was trying to teach someone aff, i feel i was just answering someone who was interested in our sport and was not aware that we were at a teaching safety stage yet or teaching canopy control. I was generalising. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -
well i just finished my third session trying to get my sabre-2 150 in to the bag...and got it.... i have had enough, and will be paying someone to pack it from now on, for a while. i tell you though, it does give you alot of confidence when you finally get the slppery bastard in. Good luck to anyone buying a new canopy....you will love it for a couple of minutes at a time and hate it for ages .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

would it seem unlikey a south african pawning their gear in the states? i guess they could have run out of money in the states and needed a plane ticket home? Do pawn shops in the states also 'buy' property? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

i have not got a pic but mine is black on the bottom and red on top with a silver stripe through the top middle cell and my inside cells are yellow, would look cool with silver in the middle though. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
