My name is Nick and I'm meant to be a quality engineer for a chemicals and specialist coating company (if somebody could tell me what that actually means it would be appriciated!!) but I really just surf the net and look at the odd procedure here and there in between smoke breaks.

Booked myself in for a balloon jump on the 27th(want to be sure of doing one) but will do another if there are spaces left... Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW! -

Mark If your at Hinton you could look out for Paul Floyd, he's a uk dealer for Tony Suits. I'm hoping to meet him there to get measured up for one, will let you know if he plans to be there. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

The question if the beer is going to be free, do you still have to buy beer or will you just say "help yourselves" I have 40 to go to my 300th so may get it at the boogie (can't jump before then:-()? Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW! -
Spike Just back from the camp out in Florida, what a blast it was... Managed to get a total of 80 mins tunnel time over the 2 days. Started with the basics, worked on improving my body position, forwards and backwards movement, side sliding and ended up launching 2-ways into the tunnel and working on things like vertical transitions and superpositioning, and actually combining the 2 to put in some pretty good moves (at least I'd say they were pretty good, Thomas might say otherwise). Even managed to get in a bit of knee flying for the last couple of minutes. The only problem is that muscles I never knew I had are aching!!!! If your still up for a camp early next year drop me a PM and we might be able to sort something out with Thomas. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

How far have you come since your 1st post?
Nick replied to AggieDave's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
My first post was just prior to starting AFF after having done about 14 S/L jumps. Since then I've done about 240 jumps, the biggest of which was a 25 way. Have been to Spain and Eloy. Have bought my own rig and have been signed off as a local FS coach (can't be given a full coach rating until I've done 300 jumps, but have been told I'm good enough). Goal for the future are to either join or start a junior 4-way team and be in the top at next years nationals. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW! -
Thanks for that, have been after the link for ages. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

I'd totally support this. We must remember that’s it’s innocent until proven guilty. In the UK system it's very normal for arrests to be made without those people being found to be guilty (from what I understand it's normal that in the case of the suspicious death of a child the parents are quite often arrested), however it's very different to be charged with committing a crime (this’ll happen when it’s going to go to court). I myself have jumped with one of these guys recently (in the last month) and there was nothing in the slightest that made me think he was involved.

If your at weston at the weekend come and say hello (you'll see me in co-ordinated black and purple rig and jump suit). Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

I'm booked up for the tunnel camp in November, was pretty sure but now I know I've made the right choice. I'm also tempted to go for a skills camp early next year if they run one. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

Earlier this year launching a fun 8-way from our Islander. I was rear, rear float, as I was standing on the step waiting for all the others to climb out I just looked over the top of the wing, all I could see was "industrial haze" streaching to the horizon all below us (there was a hole honest). Bizzare thing was that It felt a totally natural place to be.. End up with a great dive. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. They then get to meet their maker, and because of the grief they have experienced; he decides to grant them one wish each, before they enter Paradise. They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what the wish is. "I want to be gorgeous," and so God snaps His fingers, and it is done. The second one in line hears this and says "I want to be gorgeous too." Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted. This goes on for a while but when God is halfway down, the last guy in the line starts laughing. When there are only ten people left, this guy is rolling on the floor, laughing his ass off. Finally, God reaches this guy and asks him what his wish will be. The guy eventually calms down and says: "Make 'em all ugly again!!" Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!
