we'll any good skate shoe, should do. vans are actually not that great(they sold ot) and don't offer the support of Adio, Circa, DC etc(high quality skate shoes. i really like my Adio(kenny andersons) and circas for swooping, any skate shoe will have you no your ass when you try to walk up a steep grassy bank so great for swooping. soles that grip on griptape are slippery as hell on grass etc. support is where it's at!!

perfect, thanks!! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

ahem, don't you mean fox glacier, queenstown is wonderful but fox shits on everywhere!!!! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

i know the 400 has 10 mega pixles and a window wiper on the mirror. anything else apart from the price? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Don't expect a full on fun jumping scene, but plenty of dropzones/tandem factorys everywhere. For scenery though there isn't much better. my favorite is fox glacier (jump next to mt cook/aoraki nz's higest mountan 12000' above a 13 km glacier a temperate rain forest, lakes and the ocean, sigh i miss those views) www.skydivenz.com rod is the dzo and a terrific guy. he will accomodate you as best as he can. it can really rain on the west coast so contact him before you go they use a 185 which is wonderful because the climb to altitude is second to none, up the glacier around the mountains and you can see lterally 1000's of mountains and hundreds of glaciers! I assume you are going to the south island, and if you are not then you should change your itenery as this is the island with all the views!!! glenorchy(nzskydive) is pretty good too, they have a porter now so the climb to altitude is nowhere near as good as it was when they had a 185 but a bit faster and roomy! hope you enjoy yourselves, and if you go to fox make sure you contact rod before you go to the west coast as he reads the weather like a clock. Give trev a kick in the pants from 'rhyso' and get the big breakfast from the hobnail cafe! and if you havn't already, look into motorhomes, they are by far the best way to get around as you can stay anywhere, you'll be suprised at the beautiful places you come across with not a soul around!! beaches, rainforest, mountains, lakes, glaciers..... i'm homesick!! if you're interested PM me and i can tell you some wo\nderful places in the south island as i have circumnavigated it many times!! eg, natural hot springs, caves to walk through, glaciers that break off and fall down 1000' cliffs(base site, the 1) etc. all for free!

anything over 2 hours is meaningless! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

My Biggest was a 115 kilo(253lbs) guy must have been 6'3" or so. out of a c185 he was no problem at all! the small noregan girl50kg(110lbs) that i took out of the squirrel350 a couple of weeks ago was a different story. a slight bend in her knees and we were on our back but wee just had a nice look at the helecopter and waited for sone airspeed and we were on our way. just goes to show size does matter.

I second that. Hey chuck, how about you put the old one back on minus the ads and we can discuss what the title suggests! and if anyone wants to take this thread any further...then start a new one called 'chuck really wants a JVX but won't admit it' just kidding chuck!

I mentioned in one of the other threads that i use roekle gloves(made somewhere in europe), believe it or not they are the largest glove manufacturer in the world! and they have wonderful gloves for all kinds of sports. the best thing is that they make them with windstopper and quite thin, dunno if you can get them where you are but they are the best, hands down! i got mine from a mountain biking store!

Yup, Rhys is not too common and the origanal version of the name, Rhys = Wales Reece = England Reese = USA my last name Kempen is not a very common Dutch name so I reckon I am the only Rhys Kempen in the world I can use my real name on my emails and avitars as none of you other clowns have my name. and i dont have to make silly names for myself like... well i wont name any of you but some of yyou have some stupid ID names! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

me too, post on the subject are popping up all over the show because noone knows where to post them! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

I dunno? i know there are two designs of EZ, the one i am using at the moment is of the newer design and opens a bit slower. i do not know if the newer or older design have any more chance of malfunction but i havn't had a hard opening on the one i am jumping. i was told that flat packing them helps too but i am pro packing this one. proper ram-air orientation seems better than packing an off heading opening to me. I'll be on Sigma conopies next week though at my new DZ "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

I can't speak for it myself but i am just about to order a JVX, I spent alot of time researching the different swooping canopies and like yourself i want a nice opener!(for camera jumps) I think the jvx has proven itself already with the performance, the new kid on the block racing against the veterans and getting results already. i have watched the openings and they look great. some say they were too long but i never saw any that sniveled too long. like a croosfire opening. and it is the future of design, so thats what gets my vote! long swoops, rhys "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

if you aren't getting any from your man/husband then there has to be a reason for it! it takes two to tango so if he isn't interested then make him. some girls are shit at sex and just grind thier leather clit in vane to try to get an orgasm and this is no fun for the guy. try to make him feel sexy! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

funny you say that because they(jonsey) didn't, i got my rating with scoff in australia and i'm in Norway now. it was an e.z. mine was a famous EZ lineover too, i tried to pump mine out but it just span up as soon as i released the brake. I'm sure it was a conspiracy "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

you mean spank wave? if you have a sexy physiotherapist to massage your neck and medical insurance to pay for it then it is o.k.! i did 800 jumps on one and visited the physio more than 6 times because of it! it does fly like a stiletto so if you want to swoop when you're ready, i suggest a crossfire or safire or something with a longer recovery arc! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

seems to be some serious politics going on. it did seem to become a jvx thread. maybe somebody didn't like that? I'm Getting one.... "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

shit, that sucks. that show is pretty good. i wonder if he broke the record before he crashed? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

should just bann US made cars (yeah i'm taking a stab) and palstic wrapping before skydiving. those two things use far more oil than would be needed if alternitave were used eg, non behemouth japanese cars and paper!
