why not aim for the middle and do it in switzerland!? “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 have a sabre 150, loaded at 1.25. gives me snivels so long, i'm worried i have to cut that sh---, wait, its all good! i love my sabre1! edited to add: i had the same worries because of the same reasons as you do. i jumped it, saw for myself, and i like what i got! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

most favorite and "home", 45mins. another one hour, the third 1h 15mins.. and for when i'm really itchy, the fourth which is about a 2 1/2hrs.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

for audibles, i'm really fond of my optima.. cant go wrong with L&B, outstanding customer service!! “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'm fine with sun, around 20°C, gentle breeze.. and no signs of hay-fever as of yet!!!

no wonder all my mates are down-under or in kiwiland.. but still i'm really pleased with the weather 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've jumped in winds like that.. all different here, there's limits for students, but once you get your license.. only your S&TA will hold you back, or the pilot of the plane.. basically its like, do whatever the fuck you like, just dont come run crying "i've hurt myself!".. i cant get my rig back until the weekend after that.. put on my backpack, pretend it was my rig and do EP's all day long!? edited to add: cool website BTW, after it finally loaded..

i hate to admit, but i dont really have a clue about windspeeds n'such.. can you tell me in how horizontal/vertical that on a windsock would be!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

http://www.meteoschweiz.admin.ch/web/en/weather.html bear in mind that this is °C, not °F.. its february, and feels like april or may already..

..and i'm stuck at work, the rig is in repack.. and not a single DZ is open during the week! that, and all my mates are scattered all around the world at the moment! gawwd, i'm so bored, i even post again! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

my mom always does that. so used my grandmother to do!

since i started skydiving, i went at least every second weekend. and this is switzerland.. “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 think i'm waiting to get a BT-controller before i replace my broken one.. too much skydiving to do anyway! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

good thinking there, but you guys just miss the BRASS.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

mhm, somehow my controller died, and i havent gotten around to replace it yet.. that sucks! other than that, having owned or still own a ps1, ps2 and now a ps3, the no-rumble function was a let-down. but one that will get fixed soon..

yea, ok, for that maybe. but its just not my game kinda.. COD4 is a whole lot of fun tough..

thats a deal mate, you said yes to that in public! ouh, i'm looking forward to that, thats even better than jumping from balloons or choppers..

just make sure i get a skydive from your wing next time you come over! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

..which is by far the best game so far for the ps3.. warhawk sucks, bought, played once, put back in box. never to be touched again! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

..they prie that rig from my dead, cold hands.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

happy b-day!!

maybe your reading comprehension really sucks big time, but i've pointed out in uncountable posts that my current wing, a sabre1 150, that i fly at a WL of about 1.2ish, was recommended to me by my chief instructor and S&TA. and he's not a guy that's easy on anything. you dont want to piss him off, he's grounded semi-pro, sponsored jumpers with a laugh.. pretty much anybody jumps something similar over here, after they get their license. which is likely to happen in the 50-100 jumps range. we do have incidents every now and then. in my short time in the sport, i know of two, one that i witnessed myself, the other i was told about or read of. i could make some comments here about self-regulation, self-responsibility, common sense or the lack thereof. i've heard a nice statement from a manufacturer talking about how all of the above mentioned was missing in some parts of the world. he's a european by the way. and since i'm already at: thanks for your comment on the other thread about telling co-jumpers about reckless attitude. i couldnt care less, really. and here its very likely to know about just anyone if you jumped for some time. goes together nicely with the thread about fewer and fewer jumpers. i dont wonder.. if some dude went around, saying watch out, that guy over there is likely going to burn in, people here will shake their heads and refuse to jump with you instead.. bad mouthing others is not liked in all parts of the world! edited to add: funnily enough, when i asked around on the swiss boards about doing aff someplace cheaper, EVERYone advised against doing it outside of switzerland, as ALL other places were rather unsafe.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

i really dont wonder with the attitudes of some experienced skydivers. be them instructors or not. go figure! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

just what i did/do.. pretty obviously, for whatever reason, i'm not liked by some. have to post more kitteh-pics i s'ppose.. good fun. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
