A discussion of US domestic carrier and TSA policy doesn't really apply to an airline that only flies in Europe . Ryanair are, or were 2yrs ago, anal about the weight of carry-on luggage.

So next time, back the bloody thing up!

Public transport to Nagambie sucks - you'd need to make friends quick to bum lifts, though that shouldn't be too hard. -
Happy Birthday missy. Hope you had a wonderful day

I got Lasik before I ever started jumping, and I'll agree. It's one of the best things I ever did, along with moving to NYC and doing my first jump course.

That's poetry in motion, even if only for a brief moment more. I hope you have that framed on your wall

Now it makes sense! I was wondering why the hell they'd want a GPS antenna on a fixed object .

A regular pro-pack will do just fine.

New Zealand has an unusual system that I don't fully understand. I don't think you can sue, but your medical costs are covered by the state. Maybe one of our Kiwi friends can explain properly? There's a standard 4-page wavier in Australia. Every dropzone I've been to has the same one - I believe it was developed by the APF - and after a nasty scare due to a loophole in the law, the law was amended and it seems to be pretty solid. People still try though. I know that one gear manufacturer here has just fended off an ambulance-chasing lawsuit which, even though it was dismissed, costs them tens of thousands of dollars to defend.

Many (most?) skydivers believe strongly in personal responsibility. Demanding the right to sue is seen as an abdication of that responsibility. It's definitely a hot-button topic, but future discussion of why might be better in Speaker's Corner.

Sample A licence exam. Yup

Hey, if you're going to have chicks in bikinis in a Muslim country, the least you can do is make sure that it's not shoved in everyone's face. -

Saving my First Jump DVD - HELP!!!
bob.dino replied to irishflygirl's topic in Photography and Video
DVD Decrypter will put it on your hard-drive. Then you can either a) burn it to a new DVD, or b) use a program such as Videolan VLC to play it. -
No. No.

Personally, I think the book is occasionally obtuse, but it's the best reference I've found.

No worries, though I probably should check who I'm talking to before replying next time .

What to do for my 100th jump?
bob.dino replied to blondebombshell's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
It's winter in NZ so I can understand that one.
