    another thread brought that question up, and a friend asked me if i knew how things worked recently since she'll be going to eloy for like a month or so. my advice was, just to be on the safe side, get a fresh repack and have everything with you.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    [reply... -if in doubt, get a fresh repack before travelling, it can save you lots of administrative hassle i thought that was the most viable solution too which i was gonna do, just wanted clarification on that.. thanks!

    in switzerland, reserve packjobs go bad after 365 days. a full year. if i'd come to jump in the states, under what law does my packjob have to be under? since i'm jumping with a swiss license, swiss liability insurance.. do i need to be under the 120/180 (soon) regulation? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    alright, then i just went through that passage then.. but i'm 100% with you. basically i go to the dropzone to skydive..

    In other words, you can dish it out, but you can't take it. is that all you've got to add to the thread? what a contribution.. you're my heee-ro! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    bit of a hyperbole, you get one if you ask for one, but its not something you do on a regular basis. somebody posted a part of that FAR or BSR or whatever that is, those checks you're expected to do yourself. wether thats bad or not, i'm not trying to judge, but there IS a difference obviously. i might just come over some time and find out myself!

    yea, but i guess your jumptickets dont cost around 38$+, at the cheapest place. not that this is a bad thing, but people here probably have higher wages, since cost of living is higher too and blah-blah.. i guess its comparing apples with oranges.. and i didnt say there was anything wrong with packers, for fucks sake! its just that they're not very common here. except for a boogie or team training. inquiring mind wanted to know why it appears to be different in your wonderful country..

    i paid 3 grand in total, including repetition of lv4 and lv6, including googles, logbook and packing lesson/packing test. not that the test was a big deal, last day of aff they prepared some rigs for us and we had to get it right.. i did aff in a weeks holiday, sunday groundtraining, monday was raining so we spend the whole day packing, tuesday, wednesday and thursday was being finished with aff and friday i did some solos and packing test. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    no. If you ask me, I'll check you. you're not swiss, you're a farkin' russian! instead of making funny remarks, you'd better back me up, fellow countrymen. in the german and italian part of switzerland, nobody does a pincheck on others. and rigs (of sportjumpers) are packed by themselves.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    i agree 100%! now, remember WHY you go to the dropzone and face them arseholes with the same shitty attitude and JUMP!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    well, not here.. if you're ever in europe, come and have a couple of jumps in switzerland. ask any jumper to do that for you. all you probably get is a puzzled look on their faces.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    Well, replace "silly" with "stupid" and you might have the correct impression after all. now that is about the most ignorant i've ever read on here.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    i just wrote a very long post that just sounded too weird. basically, for me its part of the sport which i love, and i wouldnt want it to be taken away from me. that is all!

    come jumping over here, BASE is completely legal in this neck of the woods.. but hey, you're a foreigner, maybe not! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    how many dropzones are that big? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
