    Mate, I have never heard of what you mention. It sounds seedy, How do you know of it? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

  4. This sounds like the rig that one guy has already been ripped off trying to buy. HE then asks for Western Union to be method of payment. Actually, I think two people have bought this same deal and not got the rig. There is a thread in GD i will find. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    Wings W9

    UM, The person you are replying to made that post 3 years ago and has since left working for wings. I have a feeling you might also be sending the question to the wrong email account as they did change ankies email due to too much spam. The other reason may be because it is the weekend and Scarlett is probably not at work fielding emails. Ankie provided top class customer service and now Scarlett who has been left with massive shoes to be filled is delivering excellent service. I have never waited longer than half an hour after morning office hours for a reply from Scarlett, so this leads me to think you have the wrong email or your message arrived with them late friday and need to wait until monday for a fast response. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

  10. KAthy, Sorry to post again.. But I remember putting it out there of burying/cremating your son with his log book. I have to say that i probably made a mistake putting that in your mind. I think it would be a very very important document of Hayden for Michael to have later in life. your first log book in a way is one of the most important skydiving documents you as a skydiver can have. When you show up to new dropzones it proves that you are experienced etc. His log books will also be detailed with some very special moments in his life, Like his first jump and how he felt, his first solo, first bigway, awards achieved etc. It would be a great loss to your family to send that off with Hayden, it would really be something you should keep. Michael will also be able to understand the emotions and the meaning of that log book as he goes through the course. He will start to understand more and more of what is written in that book as he learns all the 'terms' and what they all take to achieve etc. Again, this is only my opinion but i think i was way wrong to even hint at that. P.S. Maybe you should let MIchael go through his laptop before you do. I dont think i have anything to hide on my laptop but i would shrivel up if i knew my mother was going to look through it before i had a chance to make sure it was 'safe' I just can not get over the thought of how emotional the next year will be for MIchael, He will be experiencing everything his brother has just done and I am sure some of those moments will just stop him in his tracks. I don't know your sons, Just being a kiwi and getting into skydiving and learning and the classes the same way Hayden did just makes me feel like i know where he was at in life. Not many people get into skydiving this fast like you do on that course. I remember sitting there on my first day, on the first course they ever did looking around at all my new class mates ... thinking that were all from such different walks of life but we were all about to become 'skydivers' all of the sudden. That was one of the best moments of my life, My parents thought it was too good to be true and so did i but it was the day that a fantasy-dream came true. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  11. Well, I get 4 wisdom teeth and 2 others pulled out tomorrow. The plan was that for my sanity i had to be put to sleep. After watching this movie two days ago, there is no chance in hell i would be put to sleep if i did not have to. That was some deep scary shit in that movie. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    Dentist today

    Went into get my wisdom teeth out. I hate the dentist more than anything else. Anyway, the people waiting can always here in the room where the dentist is scaring you to death...... My waiting room while i was in the chair was full of pensioners.. The dentist is doing the consoltation and out of nowhere she says to her assistant, okay lets check for cancer... I did not expect to hear that and just froze as she started checking inside my mouth, She finally said, 'No, that's clear' to her asisstant. Without thinking i let this huge gasp out and said pretty loudly.. 'Thank FUCK for that!'. NBext thing i hear is 5 senior citizens from the waiting room burst into laughter. After that, i had no problem sitting in that dentist chair. She could have told me all my teeth had to be pulled but i would not have cared after having a cancer test sprung on me and cleared. That put things into perspective very fast. I go back in 12 hours for 4 wisdom teeth to be removed and two back teeth that will be replaced with implants in 6 months time. The dentist reackons she had never heard that response to the cancer test before. Jesus christ, I dont think i have ever had a life or death test put on me without any warning before so i think the reaction was well suited. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    Breaking Bad

    It is what is known as a 'filler' episode. They cant have ever episode full of action, so to spread it out they have an episode every now and then to slow things down getting ready for a 'new' big story to start next week. I liked it, It was good to get to know the other character and his background instead of just hanks background (or whatever his name is). One thing, I am starting to see how great an actor he really is in each and every episode. HE really is brilliant. For a guy to play that eccentric guy in malcolm in the middle and then this dark scared man is excellent skill. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    I'm 21

    Happy Birthday!! I wish I was only 21. The worst part of turning 21 for me was that the following week they took the drinking and club age down to 18 .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  15. What do you mean by 'the plane was stripped before the police got there'? Do you mean by thieves? I think it will be a very special moment for Michael when the time comes. You may not have to wait until 100 jumps, something always comes up. It is a sad time, but also very inspiring that his family are sending him off with a skydiving tradition. I believe it would be an honor to be farewelled like that and that your son would be very proud! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

  19. I think cocheese would fit in that group as a village person very well. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

  21. Hey mate, Just to let you know, even if you find the cheapest flight on the internet Flight center will beat any price. I have used them for around 40 international flights and they are excellent. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  22. AWAKE. Excellent movie. There is one part of it that is very hard to watch as it just fucks with your head. Will make you never want to go under the knife. I really enjoyed this movie but it was hard to watch about 20 minutes of it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  23. For sure. IF you wait until after your son has done a few jumps, I can almost guarantee you he will be too scared to do a tandem jump. So to get it over with sooner, you should both do a tandem jump and scatter the ashes before he starts doing solo jumps. Tandems can be very scary once you have a few solos under your belt because you dont have control anymore that you are use to. If you guys went to Methven I am certain they would be able to take you up for tandem jumps and scatter the ashes while any of Haydens friends with over 200 jumps could also fly around the tandems. I Think it would be best to contact the school asap as I have just heard from Kirsty (the director) that she and maybe her husband as well will be flying out of NZ tomorrow. I am sure she would like to be apart of the memorial as well. I don;t know how you feel about the media but in my opinion that article that was in the herald was a nice article towards the accident, Maybe the tv news would be interested in playing the video on the 6'o'clock news. But again, that all depends if you it on the news. I think it is a nice idea because it sounds like Haydne had many friends around the country and this way they could all watch the jump as well. Anyway Kathy, all the best, I hope you will post the video into skydivingmovies.com once you have done the ash dive. If Hayden has any RAW (unedited) skydiving videos that you would like to be made up into a montage and do not have anyone to do that for you, I would be more than happy to spend some weeks doing that for you if it is something you would like. I hope you have a good funeral, When my best mates were killed in a car accident they had around 800 people turn up at each funeral, With Haydens popularity and age expect a lot of people to turn up. BEst wishes to you and your family. Again, it shows great strength that you have kept positive about the sport. alot of families would bad mouth the sport as when it turns bad some people like to blame the sport as a stupid sport. It takes extrodinary people to love this sport, and each of us very quickly learn about what is important in our lives such as families etc. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  24. Well, KNowing Steve and Kirsty and how emotional they would be that it is one of their ex students, I am sure that once your other son has 100 jumps they will let him jump with other jumpers and let him release the ashes... However, saying that you must have 200 jumps in NZ to jump and fly around a tanedm. This is called tandem Relataive work. So your options here are to wait until your son has 100 jumps, About 3-4 months into the course, and he will be able to scatter the ashes. Maybe sooner than 100 jumps. or Wait until the course is finished and your son has his 200 jumps by the end of his work experience. Then your son will be able to jump out at the same time you jump out doing tandem. The two of you and other friends with over 200 jumps or tandems can then link up in a circle or fly in close proximity of each other and release the ashes together while having it on video. My personal suggestion, is that you you will probably have a funeral shortly.... I know it would be special to you to be on the ash dive as well so if you were to wait until your son has passed his work experience and has his 200 jumps and gotten his 'diploma', you could then celebrate Haydnes life as a memorial 1 year after his passing and at the same time celebrate your others son's achievment by yourself and your son returning to Methven on Haydens 'anniversery', or birthday even and release the ashes together. So for you to be on the same jump legally with your son it must be 200 jumps. For your son to get the most out of the ash dive and have a good controlled jump with other people i would think around 100 jumps, but can not jump around tandems. Who knows though, Kirsty may bend the rules but I do doubt that. I am certain that if you go to the link www.skydivingmovies.com and then search 'ash dive' thast you will see many other videos of ash dives. You will need to become a member but i am sure you will enjoy it as will your son. It is a massive skydiving movie database. Either way, I am glad you are taking this idea on board as I am not too sure anyone would be able to talk my mother into listening to someone on the forums about how to out myself to rest. There are so many different times that you might want to make the day for his ash dive, there is the NZ nationals, there is the good vibes boogie in the south island, i am sure that would have been a favourite day of his and then there is graduation day at the school, or his birthday etc. I think it would be fantastic for you to jump with your other son on the ash dive and to be honest, Methven is a beautiful location on top of being the place that would have changed Haydnes path in life. Anyway, Best wishes Kathy, I am sure you will have a beautiful funeral, Dont let him leave this world without his log book or altimeter, Then he will really be screwed up in the playground. HE is joining some of best people up in that playground. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
