Hey, All I can say is that Go Vertical is the best freefly boogie, oh sorry, TP has just said it is an event, that I have ever jumped at. Load organising on every lift and all levels of people to jump with anyway. 15000 feet in the fastest "jump ship" in europe at normal ticket price. Registration for the event is cheap and well worth the money. Its also worth checking out the other Go Verticals across Europe!!!! Voss in Norway is just amazing! Any questions, please feel free to drop me a PM. The gift of flight, set youself free! "Tomorrow We Fly" Best Regards BigMan aka FatLeigh www.beech99.com

London(ish) places to jump through winter
headsup replied to RandomLemming's topic in Events & Places to Jump
Regan is so right! I have done Empuria to Langar, door to door in 5 1/2 hours! Missed the last lift at Langar but still a strange day, breakfast by the beach, jumps over Empuria followed by drinks in Nottinghamshire! From London a train to Stanstead is easy and with Ryan Air's checking in times its like getting a bus! Car hire or cab work out about the same for a short stay and you'll be drinking beer in the Kiwi before you know it. Bring on new years in Empuria and yes the wind better fuck off! -
Can't wait!!! Im heading out on the 12th to do some pre boogie training, i've had a long lay off after i decided to crash my car a week before i should have gone to Nox!!! Going to be out there for most of the boogie as well. From what im told by friends who went last year, well worth it. Think they do well weather wise for the time of year whats a bonus! Been told the having a car is very handy, DZ is kinda on its own out there, unlike Empuria. See you all there

I know this might be something you have been asked lots but I hope someone can help me. A friend wants to buy a new Javelin Odyssey custom made to her size and for a Sabre2 150. Thing is she then wants to put a used, 400 jump, Sabre2 170 in it. Thing is, will this fit the container? The used Sabre2 has micro lines, changed 100 jumps ago. I know is could be a tight fit etc but has anyone found any problems doing this? Can you let me have any information you have, thank you in advance.

Nice one Wlie, i'd heard the name before, just couldnt think of it and now by the wonders of itunes and your help, i have the song. Thanks for your help dude. Keep riding that wind!

-
I've tried to find out the name for ages and im bad at searching for things on the net, so can anyone help? I want to know the name to the song when he's driving down the road, singing along and its about, you guest it, freefalling! Can please let me know the name of the track and the artist if possible. Thanks

It starts tomorrow, its going to be crazy. Party hard, skydive harder!!! Anyone who fancies a good laugh should head to Langar DZ in the UK, 31st May to 5th June. The Beech 99 and 2 Cessna Grand Caravans, what a wicked line up of aircraft! Hope to see some old and new faces for what is going to be the biggest and best freefly boogie in the UK this year, in fact ever!

UK: Bigger and Better at Langar for 2006
headsup replied to cpoxon's topic in Events & Places to Jump
This year is going to be great, we have the mini boogie this weekend 14th-17th April, Boogie 1 29th April-7th May with 2 Caravans, Skyvan and Beech 99 and to top it off, Boogie 2 in Sept with loads of aircraft, just check the website out!!! Hope to see lots of old and new faces at Langar this year! -
Hiya everyone, Quick update, Langar Boogie will now have even more aircraft. 2 Cessna Grand Caravans, a Beech 99 (the fastest jump plane in Europe) and a Skyvan. The Skyvan has now got uprated engines and 5 blade props, meaning it should be 2 minutes quicker than in years gone by!!! The lift capacity will be 218 people per hour, this is unheard for a UK boogie. If you are looking to jump in the UK between 29th April and 7th May, you have to come to Langar. Hope to see you all there!
-
I know a lot of people, me included who have jumped a jet ranger with an A certificate. Cant wait to jump one again. Not sure if Boogie 2 will have a jet ranger, have to wait and find out.

Anyone fancy having a blast at the Langar Boogie? 29th April to 7th May 2006 Jan and his Beech 99 along with both of Langars Grand Caravans!!! This is going to be a boogie that you should not miss. Jan's got the fastest jump plane in Europe and he'll be working hard to make sure people get loads of jumps! Go Vertical will be at Langar from 31st May to 5th June 2006 as well. Langar is the place to jump at in the UK!!! Load organisers, parties and loads more. Im sure your be able to get coaching if you want it during the boogie, speak to the office at Langar for full details. Hope to see lots of new and old faces for some pre summer boogie fun!

Go Vertical coming to the UK - Langar, June 2006
headsup replied to cpoxon's topic in Events & Places to Jump
Cant wait for Go Vertical!!! I had to speak to Langer to confirm my family holiday wouldn't clash, not a chance in hell i'd miss it! Look forward to seeing you all there! -
Got to meet Nigel while in Texal at an Islandboogie event and he's a nice guy, head screwed on yet up for it. He took some stick off Steve and Rob but gave as good as he got, all in good manner i might add. Some people would have just taken it sitting down, but not him! I think this showed he is not afraid to stand up for himself and the things he likes! Nice one Nigel. Will be good to have a young freeflyer on the BPA council to put forward a different point of view on council matters. I wish him the best with the elections and can assure him of my vote!

Family have booked a holiday for 2 weeks in Barbados during November. Like the idea of 2 weeks in the sun but fancy some jumping while there! I cant find any details on DZ's on the island, can find some references to tandems though! Has anyone jumped in Barbados or does anyone know anything about the jumping there? Hope someone can help.

The building with the hole in the middle is good to BASE but a lot of fun to skydive in to from a heli! Use the marker on the map over the middle of the building, fly up to max alti and jump! See if you can freefall through the building and still open while inside! SO MUCH FUN! Motorbikes BASE jumped off B's and E's are all good! The list could go on! I just wish they had made it pos to do multi-ways online! 20 gamers all BASE jumping off a nice B together!

I feel sick! Evil bastards want to make a point and they use NY, Madrid and now London to do it! What have we to expect next! Next time someone asks me why I do "something stupid and throw myself out a plane?" im going to say because of days like today, when without notice, warning and without good reason your life is taken in an istant! Live for today! My thoughts are with those people and the family of those involved.

Its well worth looking at Endleigh. I didnt pay anything like i thought i would for annual travel isurance with unlimited time abroad! Im covered for unlimited skydives in any country along with a load of other extream sports. Like i said, well worth a look for short or long term insurance!
-
I know of a very good place, might get the handgliders and paragiders pissed off but who cares. The places is devils dyke in Sussex, just outside Brighton, you should take a look as its always used by our soon to be pissed of flying friends so i guess its pretty safe. I do know a couple of mad ones in in Surrey that could be possible launch sites but that depends on how mad you are, PM me for more info

Nice one for the kind advise guys, im thinking a tandem would be good first and move him on to AFF after, im only low jumps myself so hence asking for the advice.
