    Then they should have to provide the supervision. If its too much to ask from your D licensed jumpers then you will have to find another way. Its really sad though they wouldn't help out. If I was asked to supervise a number of students with 9 jumps, I'd also decline. Why? Because I don't believe I know enough about their gear or what they need to know versus what's nice to know. That's why I'm in the middle of getting my RW tutor rating - so I can feel comfortable helping out those that're just off AFF.

    In my limited experience, hybrids fall at 140-160mph, with 155-160mph being the most common. 20-way hybrids rock

    Ah. When I went to their site, it hadn't been updated with the tease...

    That's being slack, mate. I was out the door at 06:30 to head to the DZ, and first load was wheels-up about 07:20.

    That's damn good going...

    How many of those did you pay for?

    You're joking, right? This article is just as appropriate today as it was four years ago.

    Any change you tell those of us that don't subscribe to the WSJ what on earth you're on about?

    It'd be better if you used the term "preponderance of evidence" .

    The DZSO (DZ Safety Officer) can make written exceptions for specific descents.

    I know plenty of folk that pack 'em both ways, though I don't know many who have them snivel for 1000ft. The 170 I did 50 jumps on opened in about 500ft with a bog-standard pro-pack. Good call on the upsize.

    RMW Jumpsuits have a pretty decent designer.

    Note: D = 200 jumps in Australia. An AAD is required until D licence, and between D & E (500 jumps), either an AAD or an RSL is required.

    Easy: go to DZ on Friday evening. Leave DZ on Sunday evening. Sorted.

    It's not absolute. A country has to protect its borders/ports/airways. Then you're not "all for a free market". Sorry if this sounds overly pedantic, but I get really annoyed by Americans quoting chapter and verse about how free markets are the perfect solution. Except when it seems they might lose out. Then it's an incredibly quick volte-face to protectionism. cf steel, toyota. If I tarred you with an overly-broad brush, I apologise.

    Mine were -5.25 and -5.75, with a touch of astigmatism. Lasik rocks.

    You called? Well, I was thinking of the one in my nightstand, but... how *you* doin'? You have a picture of me in your nightstand? . I'm flattered .
