Well as I am not going to get alot (any..) freefall time in the first 6 or so jumps with RAPS, should I go train for a bit in a tunel before jumping? I want to totaly enjoy the freefall, not spin around

Anyone around West Yors? Am in Bradford, and I could really do with a couple of mates to tell me a thing or two about skydiving, and have a few pints too. He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

Mate, that's old (plus, aren't most of the posters here from the US? They have no idea!) He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

Thanks to everyone for their help, I'v decided to go for RAPS, it's £150 and £36 per jump, I think it's better if I have two jumps every Sunday or so, instead of saving up for the AFF and the cons. It's easier as I make around £120 a week, so in a month's time I can start going. Good luck thourb, let us know how it goes! He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

That's crazy! Here's a mirror, just in case this one goes dead :D http://rapidshare.de/files/11126311/JT_catapulte.wmv.html He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

Ok, I check again with Langley, it's £1450 for the AFF course, and £25 for each consolidation jump, so all together £1700, £5 per day to stay at the dz, and another, say, £10 for going there so everything would be £1800, which sounds ok, can I really beat the price by going to the US?

Ah, I though it was 20, fair enough if it's 10 jumps, I haven't had a look at dropzones or courses for a year and half so I have forgotten a lot about it. Now I don't expect it to be cheap, but after the AFF, I can go to langar and jump for £20, which isn't much, I work part time and I make around £100 a week (student life!) so I can always save half of that for skydiving, but saving around £2k is not easy at all. I will have a look about what people think of the dz's in England (I am in Bradford so Langar is the closest one for me) but idealy I'd like something close by as well, as the train tickets have gone sky high for some reason. I did had a look about going to the States to do it, but I think, if I put the cost of staying there, it's going to be more expensive. In Langar you can stay at the dz during the training for like a tenner a day or so, but in the US? Also, I am not British, I am Greek and I don't know how easy it is to get a visa, I always wanted to visit the US so it might be worth looking at it, but I have a feeling it's going to cost a lot more! As per my university having a team, unfortunately not, we are not a big uni, Leeds (it's the next city, 10 minute drive away) does have a team but they don't offer AFF, aparently they are a pretty good team as I read somewhere that they represented the UK in some international competition. One thing I'd like to know for sure is that training is safe everywhere, nomatter the cost, right? I don't want to pay half the price to get a total equipment failure or whatever! Also, in a couple of year's time I will be joining the military, where I hope to join the parachute regiment, so I'd like to have some background before joining. Thanks guys :) He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

Hi guys, I'v been wanting to go skydiving for, well two years now, but as it costs alot, well I haven't. Now, it's around £1500 for the full course, and another 400 for the 20 jumps needed to get certificate 8, so all together it's going to be around £2200 (including going to the dropzone, etc.). Is there any place I can do it for a lesser price, say, with a student discount? Thanks :) He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
