leaving for France with my rig...
Zep replied to frenchcloud's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Lots of Euros, France is soooo expensive Gone fishing -
QuoteThank you both for your info. Im not sure where you mean in Spain, i have been in contact with a bloke called Chris http://www.fallfromthesky.com/1188/index.html I looked at this guys website an something isnt right. His publicity photos are of EmpuriaBrava Northern Spain an his operation is at Lillo Madrid Central Spain, Maybe it's just an error on his part. If I was going to do AFF I'd certainly want to know where I was going to do it. Gone fishing

I suppose anything is possible, But if you tried mating a dog with a cat, would'nt you just get a fucked up cat. I mean it's not as eaisy as mating a human with a worm, where you get a politician Gone fishing

When you say Spain I imagine your going to Empuria, Working on that assumption You'll do a tandem first followed by a minimun of seven jumps, I'm shure your not going into this blindly so I wont explain all the levels Empuria has a more than a exellent AFF saftey record, with patient and proffesional instructors When under canopy you will be talked down by radio. All kit is perfectly maintained by Colin one of Europes best riggers (in my opinion Colin and Rolf are the best in Europe) One word of advice, dont drink to much at night as you'll need a clear head in the morning. Their are other things you'll find out as you go along, like holding the postion for 60 seconds on a creeper is a modern day form of torture. The accidents under canopy ( landing) are normally caused by people trying to go too far too fast You'll do fine, have fun, above all HAVE FUN. Zep Gone fishing

When I used to jump a F111 (Maveric, Fury an cruislite) I had no qualms about pulling at 2000 or 1800ft any body remember "Tee at three" A hop an pop from cloud base at 1600ft no big deal, hell we even launched exits from that hight I had 99.9% faith in those canopies, open in 400ft max, an a high speed mal wasent so high speed. When I started jumping ZP's (Blue track) I very quickly learnt to start pulling higher, result of a brake fire. Lets just say, by the time I'd got the other toggle released an I'd been wearing an AAD it would of fired Now I nearly always pull at 3000ft or a bit higher an "Tee at three" is a thing of the past.

>Fat definition...Visible rolls made up of gobs of flesh, inability to see certain body parts, profuse sweat constantly beading on the forehead, lack of ankles and or the meshing together of body parts, cottage cheese buildup in certain areas, constant heavy breathing, not being able to push one button at a time on a touch tone phone...and so on and so on....< Ok I get the picture, I got a bit of a beer belly (a happy curve) but I can still see The important part. An if any one considerd M.Monroe fat, then I like fat women Gone fishing

Define fat. Fat as in overall a fat person, or some one with a beer belly Gone fishing

So what brought your fat ass over the other side of the pond? He probably wanted to sample some real junk food Gone fishing

Summer school holidays, Leaving the old man in London working while the rest of the family went to the Summer house on the south coast (Seasalter) Spending the days on the beach an when the tide went out collecting cockles or fishing for eels in the dykes Nothing like freshly boiled cockles or jellied eels. Those days summer seemed to last forever. Now I'm all grown up an time flys by to fast . I want my childhood back. Gone fishing

>You must be French< Ok this is your first an last warning, You could very well start world war III calling a Brit, French For some reason every time I arrive at customs in Atlanta out comes the orange folder, an off I go to the security office. It's embarrassing, They ask half a dozen questions, punch something into the computer stamp my passport an say............. You have a nice day now. Nice Fu$*ing day my ass. I've missed the connection and am stuck for hours in a poxy no smoking airport for hours. I was deported from Australia years ago for over staying my visa an wondererd if the code at the bottom of the page on a passport showed this I never get this problem at JFK On a side note. I'm a smoker (ya ya ya I know) but when flying I don't miss smoking at all, even when you could smoke on planes I never did, As soon as Im walking through the finger I have an over whelming desire to light up. Is anyone else like that? Gone fishing
-
My wife works for Air France, so I travel free on Delta ( I just pay airport taxes) As a seasoned flyer I've learnt to keep away from Alanta an always fly into JFK. You Americans may not understand this but us Euros certainly do Atlanta international sucks. Gone fishing

I'm with a HP 1310 it has a built in scanner that can work independantly. for the price it's a good deal. I paid 90 euros Oh, it also has the Pictbridge socket, so I can print directly from the camera. Not to fond of the HP software though. Gone fishing

If you dont mind getting the tyres a little wet drive across the puddle after WFFC an come to Spain round about 95-100º an 90% humidity, Bring enough to pay a packer Gone fishing

Just a thought, but have you thought about a VF750. Sport touring riding postion, really confortable ride an no cam chain I should imagine a good condition one should be in your price range. Gone fishing

When should low-number jumpers speak up about safety issues?
Zep replied to Andy9o8's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I think you've had some good answers, From my experience ex AFF students are the most aprehensive at getting out at low altitudes for obvious reasons I would like to reitirate some thing Tom Buch wrote as I feel most "Newbies" do not understand the dangers of storm fronts Quote. In the case of a storm moving in, I won't get out at any altitude, even if the pilot insists. In that case we need to land the airplane away from the storm. end quote. Rapidly building Cumulus nimbas (cumulonimbus) can do you serious damage or kill you Gone fishing -
Frankly I think these types should be weeded out an kicked out. Here in Spain I was against AAD's being made compulsory last year. My view is, If you want to wear an AAD wear one. If you need or rely on an AAD leave the sport. Gone fishing
