  3. Hey Leigh I agree with chute, you must defintely give it a try, even if you just do a tandem. You won't be dissapointed! Good luck M.J

  9. That's sweet! If I give you my address could you mail me one also? thanks M.J
  10. I got quite nervous on mine also, I think just the thought of you being much lower altitude which makes your more nervous. It was cool though. M.J
  11. Ye, exactly, its very similar to a porter, Its quite a cool plane actually.. cheers M.J
  12. I jumped out of one of these this weekend, It was pretty cool, It looks like a porter but it isn't. Its called a SMG-92. It was really quick to altitude.. .
  13. I also did my AFF in South Africa, I manged to finish it quite quickly cause the weather was pretty good, I could have done it quicker if there was more people to jump, I was doing it during the week and there wasn't always enough people to fill the plane so had to wait around a lot. I am sure it would be alright if I went to a bigger DZ were there were more people jumping. M.J
  14. Ye maybe you are right, I will have to give it some more thought then, I am not going to be buying it for a few weeks still so untill then will just have a think about it and decide what will be best for me. Its going to be my Xmas present to myslef cheers
  15. Good point, I am not a very big person no, + - 65 kgs I am not sure how baggy the suit is going to be, I will have to find out from who I get the suit from. decisions, decisions.. I will have to give it a bit of thought. On that note has anybody bought a Jumpsuit from Icarus.co.za? http://www.icarus.co.za/jumpsuit.asp If yes do they have any photos? cheers
  16. I know that I will need to get fairly good at RW before I can really even think of FF, but hopefully I can do all that practice on my belly in my FF suit that I get. Hopefully it should be alright. If I change my mind half way though I will look around for a 2nd hand RW suit, I am sure I could pick one up for fairly cheap. thanks M.J
  17. Cool guys, thanks for all the responses, I would defintely like to have some experience in both RW and FF but I think that I might try do more FF so I will probably buy the FF suit first, As you guys say you learn RW with a FF suit but its probably not suited as much for the job as a RW suit. If I end up really enjoying RW I will probably try get another jumpsuit for that also, when I get some extra money
  18. I have completed my AFF and want to order myslef a jumpsuit but can't decide whether or not to get a Freefly suit or a RW suit with grips. I have not done any RW or Freeflying but I am sure that freefly is the way I wan't to go so I am probably thinking of getting a freefly suit. Im sure that many of you guys/girls have been in the same boat so just wondering if you had any suggestions or comments. thanks
  19. I have to travel about 2hrs 45 mins, door to door. That sucks. Thats by trains btw not in a car. M.J
  20. Hehe, its amazing what some new students do, I saw a student cut away on her first SL jump because she had line twists, I think she thought she had a mal. I think she was a bit shaken up. M.J
  21. Whats up with www.skydivingmovies.com? It doesn't seem to be working anymore, anybody know why? M.J
  22. Cool thanks, ye I will make an effort to go and check it out some time. cheers M.J
