    It's got nothing to do with skydiving... and everything to do with the internet, a picture of a kitten and the caption "Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten." I dunno where it first came from (though somethingawful.com would be a decent guess), but it's at least 3-4 years old...

    Isn't that Thai?

    Skydive City / Barwon Heads have been having some pretty big legal issues. Much of that appears to be resolved, but most of the sport jumpers have moved on to other DZs. They may go back now - time will tell.

    If you're in different industries and it's not likely to cause customer confusion, you're pretty safe. And I doubt Aramark make wingsuits or tracking pants...

    Wow. Some lovely photographic work there - I love March, June, November, and December. The subjects ain't half bad either - methinks I need to brush up on my French .

    :15:0 Hybrids, 4-way, canopy, and some awesome sit jumps. Oh, and free beer. All weekend . Picton rocks.

    Go. See what people are up to. Get drunk on nastily cheap alcohol. Answer lots of stupid questions about skydiving. What's not to like?

    I think you're missing the fact that Bonfire and SC are separated from the serious stuff. So if you're not interested in non-skydiving waffle, just click on the minus sign beside 'Community' in the forum listing and you'll never be bothered by the noise. Hey presto! Problem solved!

    When you get frustrated, remember that it's normal. Everyone else went through the same shit too . You will get it, but it will be a while before it becomes natural. If you jump a Sabre, make sure you know what you're doing - sloppy packing can hurt lots come opening time.

    Most women can't either . But yeah, communication is hard. Half the time I don't know what I'm thinking...

    Leave the world a little bit better off, and to have fun doing it.

    Nice. Good to know you can just go for it.

    Visa? Or love?

    Definitely. Always happened when I went back to the UK from Ireland, and it'll definitely happen when I go back to Ireland for a holiday this year.

    No-one at all has attacked douwanto. At least not in this thread. A couple of people have flamed psychoswooper for posing what I'd regard as a legitimate question. Ah well. And yeah, it does take a hell of a lot of courage to stand up and say "I fucked up." Well done Chris.

    You might want to remove the email addresses - they'll be picked up by spam bots.

    I really should add myself to the DD list, shouldn't I? It is Kris I talk to, isn't it? edit: bugger. Y'all will just have to wait 'til July .

    I'm Irish. I spent four years living in London. And I currently live in Australia. Sorted .

    I've been assured that that is a normal reaction to the sight of Chris .

    I jump a Spectre 190 loaded at 1.05-ish. 700' to open at terminal, yeah. A hop-n-pop out of a C-185 at 2000' had me open by 1850'. Dumping one second out the door - no sissy counting to three here .

    As Squeak said, that's got no relevance to Australia. The lowest level of organised coaching is known colloquially a "B-rel tutor". They teach basic RW techniques. To jump with a novice you must have a D licence (200 jumps) if the novice has their A licence, or you must have an E licence (500 jumps) if the student is not yet licenced. To be able to teach B-Rels at any Australian dropzone, you need an APF Tutor rating. This requires a D licence (200 jumps), a six month probationary period, and the passing of a set of exams. It's not normally suggested that you consider becoming a tutor until you've done 400 RW jumps.
