  1. When you've got a beach-side DZ, you really should look before getting out of the plane .
  2. I've not had this problem with my Gath. Have you removed the rotatable ear cover from the Gath? Also, note that the speaker for the Pro-Track is slightly off-centre (I'm assuming it's the same for the Pro-Dytter). Make sure that you've not mounted it so that the shell of the helmet is between it and your ear!
  3. Parachutes Australia manufacture the Talon 3 & Talon FS that are sold in the US by Rigging Innovations. I believe the original Talon was an RI design; I don't know who did the design and testing for the FS.
  4. Same as last year for Inter, and I believe (but could be wrong) that they're using the new IPC pool for Open.
  5. Cool... no learning curve for me - I'll probably be in Ireland about that time. I have to remind my parents what I look like .
  6. There's a dive planner available here that includes the Aussie Inter Dive Pool.
  7. They need Z or Hill, so how about "4-1-5 On The Hill"?
  8. Well now that's a silly question, ain't it? Hope you can destress nicely.

    Ha ha . I had plenty of over-the-top drug experiences living in London, but nothing that quite matches the inventory in the first chapter of the book, if only for the diversity of chemicals available .
  10. ...and after. A gust can pick you up and dump you up until your canopy is collapsed and controlled.
  11. The Aussie Inter dive pools haven't been changed yet; that won't happen until the APF conference in May. For everyone who isn't an Aussie: the APF Inter dive pool simplifies the Open pool by changing 540s to 180s and similar. There's also less outfacing stuff.
  12. It's a damn fuckin' cool shot. Does the top not act like an airbrake when tracking? .

    A very good book to digest. Very easy to read too. It should be pretty much impossible for a human being to ingest those quantities of drugs and survive .
  14. Waiting six months for one is a bit of a pain though... and they're not the cheapest containers on the market either.
  15. Also note that XP SP2 buggered up some firewire drivers. As Phree says, go get the latest from the manufacturer.
  16. I got mine through STA Travel, which covered skydiving if it wasn't the main purpose of the holiday.
