  1. Hi & Welcome to the forums! You can be sure, that coming at DZ you will find a jumping friends (first of them will be your tandem master or your AFF instructor =))) ). But be carefull! jumping once - you'll never be the same anymore! And your mind and dreams (and all your money) will be belong to the sky forever! Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  2. Congratulate you both on your license & own gear - have fun! P.S. BASE jumping after 30 jumps? good luck & blue skies! Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  3. I wish so, but I think it's unreal (a least in the near future ;) ). Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  4. uf-f-f, speaking honestly, my poor english does not alow me to understand what you wrote clearly =/. (it can be consider as argument that your right about language problem =))) ). could you please say anohter word what did you mean by this? Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  5. May be you are right, but I think that during AFF programm the instructor's base english skill will be enough. Instructor mostly show what student should do, correct his body position/movenment on cart during earth training, all jupms before student jump out from the plane simulated on earth, unlike other jumpers student can listen only his instructor and in case of unsure can ask him to repeat/explain one more time and another words - so IMHO there is no exelent english needed =).

  6. Hi Jim! Welcome to the forums & Congratulate on your first jump - nothing can be matched with it! Blue skies & fun jumps! Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  7. Thank You Lori! now I know it! Last weekend I made 2 & 3 way RW - that was really COOL !!! But, after jumps I came to the bar and I saw the video with freefly guys from Skydive Arizona - it was awesome! and now I dream about freefly! As I can see, your Disciplines of Choice is a freefly too, so You one of the luckest people who can make THIS in the sky! Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  8. Nobody from AFF instructors at Kolomna speak english? Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  9. Hi Sonia, I' am recently finished the AFF program at Kasimovo DZ (St. Petersburg), and I do believe, that quality of education was perfect =), gear we used - javelin student/PD Navigator Main/PD reserve/Cypress 2 Student gear (now we have five systems), but I have to agree with DansingFlame: DZ Kolomna seems to be the best for You. Regarding As soon as the jumps at Russian DZ's cheaper - you can pass an AFF program and progressive AFF -8 program to get the International A class - license. Regarding "Classichesky pryjok" - forget about it - it takes to much time =). But how much cost AFF - program in Canada? Is the deference significant enough to compensate cost of tickets and live in Russia? Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  10. Yes, of course! Actually almost all big cities (regional centers) has DZ. Do you interesting about some specifically place? I can find it, or, if can read on Russian you can find all our DZ at www.dropzone.ru site. Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  11. If you drink a lot of Vodka than: You can eat our pizza =) You will not be afraid of our bugs and our kittens =) You can speak with us even you don't speak russian Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  12. Thank you! I'll try =) Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  13. Cool !!! Welcome to the forums and good luck! But, is there possible in France to get the license after 8 jumps? I need (and I thought that it is a common rule) to made of 20 jumps total include the progressive AFF - 8 programm (several jumps with RW - instructor) But may be I am wrong? Any case Good luck on your both xtreme ideas (I was planning to buy a sportbike too, but $$$-jumps & equipment = ) Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  14. But IMHO it is should be simple - if My Dz is situated in Eropean part of Russia, than I should find it by clicking on Europe region button, regardless of houndred years discussion =). And, as far as the most DZ of Russia are situated in Europian part of Russia too - it is reasonable to make Russia as Europe region on this site. Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  15. Thank you, will be interested to know your resolution =) Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  16. The part of Russia from the western border to the Ural mountain situated in Europe other part - in Asia but the most of DZ's situated in a European part of Russia, more over, if we take a look at regions map on this site (when we seek DZ location), we'll see that DZ's at Moscow, St. Petersurg should be concider as Europe region. For example: http://plasma.nationalgeographic.com/mapmachine/profiles/rs.html __________________________________________________ Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  17. Hi People! I have a question about my DZ location: Why did you determined Russia as Asia region? even accordinately to your map the most DZ in Russia should be in Europe Thank you and please understand me right - I am don't want say nothing bad about Asia, but we always thought (at least my teacher of geografy told us in school) that we are live (and now we jump) in Europe. P.S. Sorry for my english Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

  19. Thank you, I have finished an AFF program last weekend, so at now I am enjoing trully FREE fall (going to start RW trainings after fix some problems with my exit technique) regarding - well, I have never jumped on other DZ / season but I think that summer - best time for skydiving (IMHO) and we have a good wether at here right now so I am Happy. And it is interesting to me - if somebody was on Russian DZ'es (espetially at St. Petersburg) how did he find it in compare with his home DZ and other DZ'es in a word? Blue sky!
