  1. fist full of f1-11 rocks ive watched it 2 weeks in a row at my dropzone now the bit where they walk out to this observation deck of a building and jump off and the security is walking behind them saying "hey what are you doing get down from there" is an absolute crack up
  2. hahahaha so true ive only just started and the other day i was thinking about buying a dvd/vcr combo then i thought "hey thats 30 jump tickets if i owned me own gear"
  3. i probably took a lot less but time seems to fly so more the better plus first 500 would take a while to level out for some
  4. i dont think falling only 4,000 feet would give a stage 2 person enough time to do a turn and a delta if our drop zone went to 14,000 then maybe they would pull higher up
  5. not at my dropzone on AFF level 2 we jump out at 10,000 and wave off at 5,000 look reach grip at 4,000 and pull at 3500
  6. working out depth and hieght on ya first jump must be tough at my dropzone the instructor got out paddles once i hit 500 feet and guided me in all the way and flaired with them to tell me when to flair etc same as on my second stage thats all ive done so far
  7. 1 thing to learn from this though if ya ever see a guy at ya local drop zone or cliff with gear you know is stolen dont beat the shit out of him then ask questions as he may not know it was stolen and bought it off ebay Matt
  8. ive been told my altitude awarness is excellent but im not sure if that is anything greater then useal maybe 99% of students have excellent atli awarness i pulled at 3500 like i was supposed to and waved at 5000
  9. the opening landing is fine although i have fell over both times lol
  10. 4 miles / 80 seconds = 289.68192 km/h thats dam fast
  11. what is set to medium ? im gunna try making sure this time im standing up straight and get some1 else to do them up real tight so im not like bent over when i do them up and stay bent over as its to tight for me to straighting up lol although they have never been to tight to hurt me legs like cut of circulation or anything Matt
  12. how many story's high is the actual plat form at ?
  13. i did AFF 2 last weekend (raining this weekend ) and as far the doing the 90 degree turn goes ealier on in the day the instructor told me he thinks its roughly 180 turn and i said nah the book says 90 and he is like well 180 , 90 what ever so when i was in the sky i did 90 looked down at my alti and it read 5500 and i was having to much fun so i went to 180 then on the ground he tells me i was only meant to do 90 and i said "yeah but you said close to it " and he said "the book says to do 90" lol so i think it was his fault hjhaha but good thing was straight away he asked me how much i turned and i said about 185 degrees and he said about 175 degree's although i reckon it was 185 i wasnt gunna start argument as i would sound like a dick head lol cant wait for AFF 3 except they told me i must do 3 and 4 in 1 day and its not physically possible for me to do more then 1 jump in 7 days i get to badly bruised i need 2 weeks off from my first jump as my hips got smashed when the chute opend my leg straps rammed me legs up into me hips lol
  14. cool so how is this building in malaysia moderated/controlled surely the government dont let any nut jump off any day of the year or is that the case ?
  15. i have seen photo's of the launch board on the malaysian towers but in this video i couldnt see any they were all jumping from the edge and there was some rather savage object strikes
  16. welcome to the board thank god i live in the free country USA "united states of australia" our winter is probably like your summer hhaha
  17. yeah im in australia all the footage wasnt from australia though a lot of it was in malaysia off the twin towers there some was off antenna's in australia though dwain weston was in a heap of it his arials were very fancy
  18. ahha thats why we have imoticons
  19. where in the accronym BASE does it mention anything about a parachute
  20. when i was younger , i always liked to jump off things with water below jetty's cliff's , tree's etc
  21. is that a question for me ? or you were just using it to point out that link ? if its a question for me i just asked cos i wonderd why I once did 400 base jumps in 1 day and always ran and jumped but reason was , i never had a parachute on my back and had to run and jump out as far as possible from the cliff , to ensure i land in deaper water hahaha
  22. I just watched the first 12 minutes of the latest 1 (i only have dial up , the rest is downloading) and that 1 is even better then the 1 before that bit at the start is cool as those swing suits look awsome shame ive only done 2 jumps lol but atleast it gives me somthing to look forward to keep on bringing those video's through are u the d00d in the red or is he just some1 ya like videoing all the time also what is written on that big streamer thing ? it looks like some web address but i cant make it out Keep it up Matt
  23. Hey lal i was at me local dropzone the other day and there was some base tapes playing and every1 on them stands at the top of the object and jumps out why dont any1 start 10 metre's back and run and jump out ? is it to do with loseing balance and falling wrong or is it just the video's i have seen poeple wenrt running up and they useally do ??? Matt
  24. Ive been addicted to this sport since i was 3 years old i had always wanted to jump from a plane problem is i only started jumping last month and im 21 now im currently up to stage 3 of my AFF as for the children question I dont think ill ever be able to afford to have any now
  25. i just watched the video and loved it to the wingsuit bit was good where they would fall away and ya could see them falling below and going through the clouds was also good how high were those exits as they seemed to be very high up , some of the jumps more then others
