    Once you have passed your AFF course then buy a crate of beer while your AFF video is on the big screen,might guarantee a small audience!!. Good luck on your course. Steve Swooping, huh? I love that stuff ... all the flashing lights and wailing sirens ... it's very exciting!

    Track from exit to pull height. Whoever cant fly canopy back to dz tracked the farthest and is the winner! Swooping, huh? I love that stuff ... all the flashing lights and wailing sirens ... it's very exciting!

    My daughters were 13 and 14 when they did their first jump(tandem). They both loved it and my eldest who is now 16 wants to do AFF this summer. Expensive for me,but if she enjoys it i will encourage her to work to pay for jumps with a subsidy until she finishes college/university.If she doesnt enjoy it then nothing ventured nothing gained.

    Such sad news. Met Bob last year and had the privelege of filming him instructing/coaching,also got debriefed myself on the footage. What a great man and a great loss to the sport. Rest In Peace.

    Eloy is a great DZ,first trip there a couple of years ago did 120 jumps in 12 days. Thought it was a super safe place,great staff,great load organising just an awesome experience.It was the Alaskan/Canadian Arizona invasion really busy but all the staff just wanted us up in the air having fun. Shame you will miss out on one great skydiving experience. There is always Golf but if you look into that a lot of people die doing that too! Swooping, huh?

    Have been to Hinton,nice dropzone very friendly staff. If you do AFF there i am sure you will not only learn loads but have great fun. Email Geoff at the DZ. They even do AFF at the Kenya boogie. Havent been to the Spanish DZ you mention but Empuria is also a great place. Whatever you do enjoy. Blue Skies Steve Swooping, huh?

    Just drop a line to the different dz's on BPA website. As Grant said closest to you is Netheravon,but there are many an hour or so extra driving. Best of luck,hope it all works out. Steve Swooping, huh? I love that stuff ... all the flashing lights and wailing sirens ... it's very exciting!

    If like others you are having several breakfires,so much so that they are now a "nuisance" surely a specific gear inspection is required or look at packing cos its opening too quickly and a break is kicked off by a slamming slider. Changed my risers to WHAT WAS!! Relative Workshop TRULOCK risers.Works for me.

    Was asked that,perfectly good plane question, by a pilot(6000 plus hours) told him it was cos i saw him land! His pilot friends thought that was pretty funny. Swooping, huh? I love that stuff ... all the flashing lights and wailing sirens ... it's very exciting!

    Don't think he can answer that one!!! He should just stop replying full stop cos that hole he is digging is just getting bigger. Steve Swooping, huh? I love that stuff ... all the flashing lights and wailing sirens ... it's very exciting!

    Because you didnt wait at all,141 jumps over 80 with a camera!!! Not a good scenario,maybe if you rewind your video,or your friends you will see how long you waited. If the tandem was open directly below you it was for sure because you didnt wait long enough. Swooping, huh? I love that stuff ... all the flashing lights and wailing sirens ... it's very exciting!

    Because of the relative wind and that wonderful thing called gravity. Swooping, huh? I love that stuff ... all the flashing lights and wailing sirens ... it's very exciting!

    Sorry they do not always exit first. The run in as you say is normally always from sea into land but depending on north or south wind will determine if tandems first or last,sometimes they can be first and last with fun jumpers in the middle. Whatever they do there it is very safe cos it is well briefed and they are very experienced. Swooping, huh? I love that stuff ... all the flashing lights and wailing sirens ... it's very exciting!

    Hi,looking at your profile/occupation why dont you just buy a brand new set of gear? Have it all in your company colours splash your company logo over all of it even have your company name/logo on your canopy and then write the whole lot off as an advertising expense and hey presto nearly a free rig with a cypress 2 to boot.
