-
ive seen several base jumping footage of this cave but only ever seen landings at the bottom and never seen a good look around so what is at the bottom besides ground and bird shit does the cave actually go anywhere ? or does it just stop dead ? surely the water has to go somewhere when it rains
-
actually has any1 ever died there jumping ? besides the guy who fell off the rope (or some kinda similar action) a month or so back ? maybe they had a 1 strike and ya's are out kinda rule

jumping 8 metre's into 1.5 metre's of water is an art but good to see you can realise im joking around i was just wanting some1 to check out me profile as i got sick of waiting for some1 to bring it up

"you and I both know that it doesn't take ANY skill or knowledge to throw your body off of a fixed object, RIGHT? " Personally I find from the higher objects i have jumped off it takes more skill in body postion, feet first then quickly throw arms and legs out on impact with water to create drag lower the safer but as far as canopy control goes none of my base jumps have required that
-
i know what ya mean by the leg straps im currently a student and reckon id be better off going a few rounds with tyson instead as id be less bruised but the best way to over come it so every1 on here tells me is to make sure leg straps are super tight so they are slightly hurting which ill try next time but for now my DZ is on holydays welcome to the board and have fun
-
well i was over it before i had made me first jump when i went up in the plane to do my aff 1 it was my first time in a plane and as soon as it took off all i could think was "i hope i get to jump out of this plane i dont wanna be in it while its landing "
-

-
the carbon fibre 1 depends on how its made and what its lined with as it may be very strong and light and if it does take a impact hard enough to shatter it might be for the good as it will dispserse some energy and if its good some kinda strong inner lineing it might not allowed it to jab ya in the head

I live near newcastle and jump/learning to jump at elderslie dropzone
-

" The last time I was there. I was on the USS Constellation. It has been about a year. I miss your neck of the woods" haha i live on the other side of oz about a year ago on the news there was a big navy ship over that way docked for a few weeks and this local brothel had to close down cos all the hookers were exuasted from all the US Sailors true story
-
cool i was told on here to make sure they are tight but i didnt know how tight as my instructors said both times "make sure they arnt to tight ya dont want to cut off circulation" and im thinking maybe i could go a bit tighter still so next time im tightening them as tight as they can go without being painfull standing or sitting on the load
-
id kill to be able to do 2 jumps in 1 day or even 2 in 1 week the most offten i can do my stages is 1 every 2 weeks i get to badly bruised by the leg straps and im in good shape i get hell ass brusing on my inner legs and very sore hips im up to level 3 they want me to do 3 and 4 in the 1 day but ill sneak off and come back 2 weeks later

my comments wernt meant to be degrading but poeple like that woman could read comments on here and take them the wrong way i said what i said hopeing for a more detailed answer i probably didnt ask the correct way though lol but i never meant it in a way disrespecting bill von and thankfully "Shark" PM'd me telling me reasons of when a cypress can be more harm then good which is less ocassions then when they should be used -

cesslon replied to pds's topic in Safety and Training
my reasoning is you dont relie on "back up saftey devices" but ya dont simply do without them because you think the odd's of things like getting KO'd are slim you could also jump out and have a stroke or a heart atack people of all ages have strokes i might not be very experienced but id tell this woman that odd's are slim of her even using it but thats like buying a car with a air bag all my friends have 1 but no1 is yet to use it they may still die in a crash with a air bag but it is better saftey then none and no1 i knows drives down a road and sees a truck pull out and think "i wont bother breaking , i got a air bag" -

the instructor i had on day 1 of stage 1 of my aff has over 13500 jumps and we were talking about cypress's and talking about how less experienced jumpers have tracked into people and knocked them self out and i said it could quite easily be the very experienced jumper that is the 1 that gets knocked out , and he said thats why he uses a cypress and said some d00d once had 12000 jumps and got KO'd by a lesser experienced jumper and went in so no matter how good you *think* you are and think you wont crash into some1 else remember a lesser experienced jumper could knee you in the back off the head and you wont ever know you were hit as you'll be out cold tilll ya impact with the earth -
