  1. Yes that would be it.....thankyou, however I have never heard anybody complain about the hackey. I guess anything is possible. Thanks for the reply One must ensure that his or her spirit is never broken......Samurai Maxim
  2. That has also confused me! I can't see how! One must ensure that his or her spirit is never broken......Samurai Maxim
  3. Hey guys and girls I'm buying my first rig and woundering about main deployment handle. What to get Hackey or Puff? Never used a puff but it has been recommended buy the dealer. What is everyone take on the puff? Please give me some feed back so I can make a well informed decision. It has been said that "the hackey has caused mals. in the past"? Thanks for your feed back!

  4. O'k how this one. Febuary 22.04 First jump of year at the Mardi Gras boogie. Oooops did I mention first jump ever!
  5. Thanks to all for the low down on the trips. Now we know what they are and know not to get them! They sound like they could be a head ache at times.....just one more thing to think about. Cheers! One must ensure that his or her spirit is never broken......Samurai Maxim
  6. I was taught how to pack during the winter in Canada before I started my Aff. It was prefect because there is already to much info. overload alrady during your training and I'm a bit of a control freak so I'm a little skeptical about jumping a rig that I have not packed......even when I know everything will probably be fine.

  7. I must say that all my instructors at Gold Coast in Mississippi were great. However there is one that does stand out, Paul Cozic AFF levels 3,5 & 6. You don't come across people with so much zest for life often, so when you do they stand out. He made me laugh and feel comfortable and confident on all my jumps. Oh ya, He's not a bad skydiver either. Blue skies, R One must ensure that his or her spirit is never broken......Samurai Maxim
  8. Hey everyone..... I'm new to the sport of Skydiving and just wanted to say hi! I recently traveled from Toronto, Canada to attend the The Mardi Gras Boggie hosted by Gold Coast Skydivers, with my g/f and another friend. They jumped while I did my Aff. training. There are no words to describe how I felt after my first jump.......I take it that I'm not the only person that has this problem. During our trip I came to realize that skydivers are very welcoming and helpful people.....not to mention great partiers. Also I just wanted to say thanks again to Adrian, Will, Chuck, Paul, Louise and Lynnette for getting me through my first seven jumps. I did nine jumps during that week and those first seven I will never forget. Now I can't wait until the cold disappears so I can start jumping at home. Blue skies
