You can never have enough tools.

I think anyone with any experience, whether 10 or 100 or whatever, has something to offer. Sitting on the bottom rung looking up, I'm pretty sure I know what I would expect & want from a mentor, obviously experience comes into play, and the more the better, but there is so much to learn beforehand i.e. packing techniques/stealth/groundcrewing/rigging mods & all the Q's & A's that accompany just those topics. I'm sticking my neck out here, but I would think anyone who has over 100 jumps from a good selection (technical to easy) of objects has (or should have) the ability to mentor someone right upto the point where they are ready jump. At that point you instruct them to do a FJC* (if available) otherwise maybe get someone in to supervise who is respected/current and familiar with the teaching methods of the first mentor as well as the object to be jumped. Its been a long day at work & my opinions are probably full of holes, but does that sound so bad ? * - My argument here is that having the theory & the knowledge onboard prior to a FJC will give you more time jumping/trusting (and improving) your packjobs & skills. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning

Sorry.. I meant 'alive' as opposed to still jumping, and 'first loads' was referring to the organized ones celebrated by this anniversary. Were they organized like a (skydiving) boogie as we know today ? or was it a little more low-key/close friends type affair ? -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning

Sounds like the crew i run with.

Have a great birthday & weekend Dave. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning

How many of the people on them first loads are still about Nick ? or is that a stupid question™ ? -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning

Looks like its back to Plan 'A'

Does that mean there are happy endings for girls ? I would only want to be there as a scientific observer you understand.

Try googling them with words like 'Highest-Bridge' (or Span) and a particular area your looking at. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning

Ah well...i can't be there this year, but you all have a great boogie and look out for each other, hope you all get some good weather this year and plenty of firsts to boot. If the Dropzone.com banner is there, at least my name will be there.

Hey Dave... lets just see if your right. Get well soon girl.

Hubba hubba. Chin-up Val, your better than that.

I'm waiting to check these Pressurized pants out... for some reason i like the sound of them.
