Thanks for the help guys!
I am not going to buy equipment, probably not even after I pass (if i can) the AFF course.
I might get some gloves (now that you mention it) and some goggles and altimeter. But containters, canopies and everything else will have to wait until I have played around with different ones.
I really can't wait to start, i thought this kind of thing was very expensive and inaccessible but as it turns out it seems to be more affordable than I ever thought, plus there is a dropzone 31.4 miles from where i am sat right now.
If I still have the buzz in 2 weeks i will book the course. I do this alot, especially with technology, if I want to do it i'll wait 2 weeks and then if i still want it i REALLY know I do :)
I showed my girlfriend the fatality database and I don't think she wants me to do it! I promised not to get a motorbike if I can start jumping, this way eliminating some kind of risk in my life!
Well, i'm talking to be talking now, thanks for the help
