you never feel like you are falling as you have experienced. Being under canopy on your own, well you will be under radio guidence. You are not too old to learn. It is the greatest thing in the world. To me it makes feel so alive after every jump. I have not jumped for a few motnhs now, this will change as soon as the weather gets better but i have the feeling of needing to jump to bring me back to life. It is very addictive and becomes a way of life. Go for it!! AFF is a fantastic way to learn because it is so full on. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Basic skydiving is easy.....once you get passed the AFF. I did not find it scary, some do and some also have a hard time getting through it. Maybe static line might SUIT you better. I am a big fan of AFF over static line but you seem very unsure so maybe you should take it slowly so you are not wasting money if you do not enjoy it. You will find some people love their tandem and love their AFF first couple of levels but then on their 4th jump kind of think 'well i have jumped out of a plane 4 times, why am i doing it again. Static line is still agreat way to getting into the sport. One question though, if you do not like falling, why do you want to take up falling at 120mph for 60 seconds every time? It is an expensive sport to jump into. If you love it, and know you will stick to it, i say do AFF. If you think you this is what you want to do maybe look into static line. This way you jump higher after each jump. Falling is the greatest part of the sport. Good luck, just know though, if your body agrees with skydiving, it is very easy as long as you stay safe. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

What airline was that? i need a cheap flight You think the passangers who were on this flight could make some sort of claim towards their money back? if this is classed as dangeorus, how can the airline keep operating? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

well happy bidding! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

But surely there must be a way to post something, SOMEWHERE... with a title like~ "Skydive Skyride is a Scam" and have it come up in the course of a google search?! Quote come on dzers, one of you guys has to be ahacker. close em down .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

too right. if this person did jump who pawned it would have individualy noted each item that was pawned. Maybe everyone could make a note of this gear and put it up at there dz. You do not just let a mirage go to ebay through a pawn shop. Worst case scenario you tell a fellow jumper that you can not get it back from the pawn shop so your mate can go and buy it for what you owe on it. someone who is a memeber of ebay should contact the seller and ask for the serial number. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

ok, so i just got a new sabre 2 and have just spent an hour on this stupid thing trying to pack it. i wish i could go outside but it is so windy here in hampshire. So packing indoors, given up. I have come up with a great solution though. i am taking my rig to get different leg straps put on this weekend so i think the rigger can have this painful task of packing my new chute. Then i am going to pay for it to get packed for the first 50 or so. These new canopies are meant to be exciting....just a shame that the excitment only lasts a few minutes at a time, and the pain lasts for so long. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

by any chance do you mean web ellis? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

what?? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

we use to play luck dips at children birthday parties....not with skydiving it does not say what the gear is, the guy has no clue, there is no way to check it. If anything find out the serial number to find if it is stolen, the reason i say this is because what skydiver will pawn there gear, and if a jumper does pawn their rig they are not going to pawan their frap hat and when they do pawn it they will also write down on the pawn sheet what type of main it is and size so they get what they left. The only person who will pawn this gear and not know the information to leave with the pawn broker would either be a whuffo who stole a gear bag with everything inside or a angry ex wife or something. so stay away, full stop!. If you want to buy cheap gear look in the classifieds of this site because their is plenty there. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

i just had a look at the rig. i can not understand why you are bidding on it. do you know what size main it is? do you know what size harness it is? do you know what size reserve it is? do you know how many jumps the reserve has? do you know if the lines of the main are ok? if you do know any of this which seems very important to know before even considering to purchase it, you need to ask for the serial number and in dropzone.com you could do a check on it. If you do not know any of this and are buying it for yourself, i can not understand why. First you need to know if it is the right size harness for you and then if it is the right size main and reserve for you. I think your seafest bet is buying on dropzone.com from a jumper or a rigger considering this way you will know exactly what you are buying, the description on ebay for this says to me that the seller has not opened the container, and has not got one single little bit of idea what he is selling. I am not a rigger but i think anyone will tell you the same. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

does it really matter? none of them can play rugby .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

you guys must have a good time at a dz bonfire over there in the states, just by reading these forums it shows that there is so much talent at all different things amongst the jumping community. One advantage of coming from a huge country. Dave, is your band like a marching band? i had a mate go to the states with his band for a competition, dude could this guy play the drums. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

If i was American the version by Jimi Hendrix would give me goose bumps all over, that has got to be one wicked way to hear your national anthem played, and for anyone who wants to say rubbish and all that bollocks, the americans should be ever so proud he played your national anthem. Ever so proud! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Well this all makes perfectly good sense. I do not download music, never have. I might have downloaded a documentry or 2. Though i do not see myself paying to use songs on tandem videos or any'home' videos as of yet. i am sure if/when i get to the level of my work being put out for everyone or 'that' level where i will sell my work( apart from tandems,) i will be sure to do it the legitimate way for my own sake and the person who owns the music. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

this one is fantastic but be careful as you will see breasts while waiting for video, the site will put you off but it is good footage, old but good if you have not seen it. http://grab.orsm.net/php/movies.php?file=priceless/hornydonkey.wmv .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

i have heard that too, i hear with broadband it does not take long either. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

i never knew we had such an agency in new zealand. It is interesting to know. with the skydiving community so small in nz i can imagine if one dz got hit with this that all dz's would start putting some sort of money aside in case they turned up. Have you heard of this happening at a nz dropzone? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

cheers mate, i have just been looking into ripping it, i will check out what you have refered me to. ta, .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

never meant to insult you with the suing thing, i worded it wrong. it is very hard to sue in new zealand, what i meant was alot of people sue in the states. sorry. I realise that the dz will go over a waiver with you first but if skyride is giving false unsafe information surely this will concern the uspa in a way that they can tell their members not to have anything to do with skyride and could enforce this. you do not need to close them down but you need to get the uspa to find reason not to let their members deal with this company. i am sure skyride will be reading this now so what i am saying would never work, but someone get crafty and rip them to pieces .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

yeah but surely they can not sell a skydive to anyone? if the dropzone can not neither should they, this would make a great argument in court. It would be classed as an unsafe practise? ring them up and ask to buy one, record the phone call, without them asking let them know that you have had a fractured back in your past but would still like to jump. they will want to make the sale. When you are about to pay for it if they say it is ok then tell ask them if you HAVE to check with a doctor first? if they say it will be alright then the uspa would have to step in if they are selling jumps at uspa dropzones. This would close them down. i am not in the states, but would it hurt trying? it could really catch these people out, ecpecially if they are a call center with students working on commission. In your country everyone sues, this would be a guarantee closure if it went this way. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

when this company sells vouchers to their customers do they go over all the things like asking about age, and heart or back problems? you would think if they did not and they sold them to any old person that they would be somewhat liable for selling a tandem skydive to someone who a dropzone would not accept. This would be some sort of intent to harm? So what i am trying to say is that the dropzone can not sell skydives to a customer that will be at risk, so if skyride sold a skydive voucher( same as selling a skydive) to a person that is not medicaly able to jump....could you not have them closed down for some sort of malfunction or endangering people or some sort of intent? this should be researched, because this would be irresponsible of any bussiness to sell this product to someone that is not fit to jump. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
