There is actually lots of work available in the industry here in Canada. Especially for a experienced person with the correct ratings. There are 2 dz's in western Canada that are fulltime all year round. Pacific Skydivers in Vancouver area would be an option, great dzo and staff and the dzo is willing to negotiate in order to get the best people. He also has 2 other very busy dzs during the summer. The other one in the area I dont know anything about. The point is that you can earn a good living by being multi rated, work for the right dzs and work hard. There is a lot of opportunity here for people who want it. Quinny

I agree....Overlaoding a student is a ridiculous notion! Its called progression because you learn progressively In response to the main topic, I do not believe rigging should be a requirement as there are a lot of jumpers out there who love jumping and hire a rigger to do the job and have no interest in doing it themselves. Leave rigging to people who actively want to do it and work hard to fill the requirements. A basic knowlegde of equipment is taught and if you want to know more about it then see your local rigger. If then you crave more...maybe your rigger will spend time with you and you can pursue your rating. Making it a requirement would turn everyone into a rigger!!! and the world would be weird

Nothing Landed on the Moon!! Its all a pile of crap!

Tha efact that he had a camera???on his helmet makes me think it is strange. The fact that he slid on his ass makes me think a novice. On one point of the video it looks like one arm is up and the uther is down inducing the spiral. Hard to tell. Why wait so long under a spinner? All very questionable

Saw a listing in Canpara naming Total Control Skydiving in Dids. Anyone have any info? I think it said 5 members, 1 instructor, 1 coach and 1 c182. Also a new one in BC. Any ideas? Quinny

As a man who has sex with women for a fee, I dont see any problem with it. Responsability is key and a real pro is clean and careful. Regular testing etc. If the trade was properly governed you would have a lot less disease and especially a lot less illegal sex slaves kidnapped, used then mostly killed. Its one of the oldest occupations around and only religous extremism put a good business into the hands of organised crime and dickhead pimps!

Broken ribs when the fat chick rolled over on to me in the morning. Beer goggles suck sometimes!! She looked great the night before from what I remember but she was a 400lb circus freak in the morning. Genital warts were involved somewhere too I think!

None

where are you?

Oh my god! I just read your profile and you are a basket weaver!!!! I am a basket case.....can you help!!!!!!!!!

Food is food!!! If in the worst situation, would yould you eat a dogs cock or would yould you starve. Meat is f'ing meat!! Why are you a vegetarian?

I just drove from Salt Lake to NY with a truck and 18ft trailer. It took four days and if I can do it then so can you!! Just use your mirrors, shoulder check, take your time, dont turn too sharply and the most important thing is to sing really loud with the radio or cd!!It keeps you smiling and relaxed! Just have fun on your move and dont worry about the rest it will come!

Well chicks are usually pretty bad at this stuff....but you look like a hot chick so you will be awesome!! Use your mirrors, they are nice and big and signal a bit earlier than normal if possible. Always remember that you will probably be bigger than the other vehicles so if in doubt ...push them around a bit and they will yeild to you! Quinny

Actually its fine after you get going, your confidence will gain mile after mile and you will rock!

Hi Kirrz, I would whole heartedly vote for Vancouver. UBC, from what friends who go and have gone there is awesome. The weather is overall good and there is awesome skydiving happening. Check out Pitt Meadows on pacificskydivers.com and also a club called westcoastskyflyerz.com. Lots of great people and great jumping happening. Good luck! Quinny

Riggerrob should be along shortly he will know

I hate to say it but I told you so

Oooh and RDS!!!

I come haulin ass in on a set 360! A crossed braced 285...hmmmm....AWESOME!!! A great way to introduce students to skydiving and POND SWOOPING on their first jump! They are probably going on the basis that a crossed brace is a nice rigid and stable wing??? I love it!!!

Quit getting jiz in it and you will be fine

Bill Sharp (aka Kiwi Sharp) or Bish at RAPA in Bad Lippesringe. Both guys are truly excellent and the dropzone is awesome too. It is located near Paderborn/sennerlager. Kiwi is a very respected rigger worldwide and has been doing this stuff for about 300 years, but that being he is always upto date and I know he is the best person to speak to there! Good luck Brother Quinny Tel from Germany is 5254 98 22378 and say hi from Kiwi and Bish from Chris Quinn and tell him Im still breaking sewing machines

I am in week 4 of no jumping because of an ear problem. As a fulltime skydiver that is not good for the bank! Basicaly STOP until you are healed otherwise you will run into complications like I did. I had a busy weekend doing tandems and was feeling a bit bunged up so I took decongestent and some neocitron for my cold symptoms. DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING LIKE NEOCITRON!!! What it does is actually thicken the moisture build up in your head(nose,sinus,ear tube from nose to ear) and make you feel a bit better. This then is like water in a pond a breeds life, thus causing very bad infections. Also this turns dry afterwards and during the thickening and drying up process can complicate the pressure balances in your ears. My head literally exploded as I deployed my set 400 and I landed with out incident. I was in a lot of pain and the pressure build up would get to very painful stage and then release letting of a painful farting sound in my ear. Then the pressure would not release and thus came the eardrum itself having to give way and relive the pressure. On the 5 hr drive home the slightest hill was horrible and my doctor has called me a moron for continuing to jump. The moral of the story is get it fixed and then jump which should not take long or be out for a longer period of time taking antibiotics and some really nasty steriod sh*t that you have to shoot up your nose every 2 hoursThat sh*t really makes you sneeze and by the way its not true that if you sneeze 12 times or more in a row you orgasm.....you just hurt your ears even more and cover your house in snot! Anyway goodluck with AFF hope you do great and have a blast!! Quinny

Burn out will certainly make everyone grumpy....I infact think that Riggerrob is one of the hardest working people I have ever met and he has been doing this for a very very very long time. I know how it feels to be burned out and have experienced what its like not to enjoy the sport. I took a break and worked for myself and found the enjoyment and feelings of excitement for myself and others that I had when I first started. Riggerrob I certainly appreciate the huge amounts of work that you do and also have never found you to irretable to help anyone without a smile on your face. Thankyou and all the other burnt out people who continue to make other peoples days and jumps a great experience Quinny
