  1. Can anyone tell me if I can use BR2325 Panasonic batteries in my optima? Cheers!
  2. Hello, I am downsizing from a Katana 120. I was originally planning on going to the Katana 107, however, I am considering downsizing to the Velocity 111. I have never flown a V-Lo before so I'm not sure how it flies compared to the Katana. I am 150 lbs without gear. Will I be loading the V-Lo enough? Is it a similar transition to the V-Lo? Does any one have any suggestions? Thanks
  3. Hello, I just got a brand new pair of Gatorz Wraptors and they did not come with the bending instuctiions. Can anyone tell me where to find the information on how to properly bend gatorz to fit your face? Right O Thanks
  4. Alright mate, fair enough, but, I have not seen to many dropzones in canada that are real commercial operations, and by this i mean a tandem factory. Furthermore, they are not in prime locations. I learned to jump at Skydive Toronto. Now, they just moved from bloody Angus to the other side of the 400 close to Cookstown. Both places are not really that great. Well, I would have to say the Angus location was better than the Cookstown location because of its close proximity to Wasaga Beach. However, the Cookstown DZ did look like it was going to be real classy. Beautiful new hanger. But Cookstown isn't really a real big touristsy spot, quite frankly, who would ever want to go to Cookstown other than to stop for a piss at the McDonalds? Follow me? Moving on. What tandem student wants to land in a cow field where nothing but highways and flat land is to be seen under canopy? Not me. So we take them to a beautiful place where the sites are spectacular. And we land on an island or a beach. I plan to take skydiving to a brand new level in Canada. It will be top class, organized, well planned and well advertised. As far as staff is concerned, well, this operation will be at the very least a two-way partnership. ONe of the partners being the pilot and the other a fairly qualified skydiver. The skydiver, myself, has been travelling around the world skydiving for the last 6 months. I have made lots of good contacts and also many experienced TI's who are eager to jump abroad. I certianly understand the kind of problems you can have with staff. I have seen it happen. I appreciate all your discouraging info, truely I do. It can only better prepare me for the obstacales I will face. Any other info is more than welcome.
  5. I know the Chows relatively well. I learnt at STI. I will be back jumping there this summer. I will certianly have a talk to Joe. THanks for the info.
  6. Hello, I am interested in opening a drop zone in Canada. It would mostly be a commerical tandem operation but it could very well evolve into a sport dropzone as well. My question to the forum is: where is the best place to start looking for information on the rules and regulations of opening a dropzone? Any other useful information that you could add would be appreciated. See ya.
  7. Hello, I am hoping someone can give me an opinion on a first main. I am just coming off student status at 20 jumps. I am 165-170 lbs out the door. I am rather agressive and a quick learner, but, I am safe. I want something that will challange me. I will probably be doing a lot of jumping a sea level. I will also be jumping very often. I would say like 25+ times a month. My question. In any circumstance would a Nitron 150, 9 cell elliiptical be way to big of a downgrade for me? thanks for your help
