  1. $31 USD a jump guess I'll have to suck it up as I'll be there for a bit and jumping is a must! For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  2. Any idea what exactly are Yuri's specs in terms of height and weight? I'm guessing somewhere around 6ft ish and 160lbs or 72kg? For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  3. I'd say perhaps not flocking or anything with an "average" suit and your definition of an "average" flyer would be around a 2:1 glide ratio (ish) meaning for every foot you drop you go forward 2 Depending on your pull altitude....you said not too low so that being said perhaps 3k? 11k of feet dropped being 22k ft forward or roughly 4.2miles or 6.76km That being said there are some very talented flyers with lengthy bodies and don't weigh too much with banging suits that have had around 3.5:1 glide ratio maxed out, if a person could sustain that glide from 14k to 3k he/she would be able to cover a distance of roughly 7.29miles or 11.73km For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp

    iFly Singapore

    Indeed very awkward ! They say each skydive is 90sec for pro flyers during "super off peak" for 30min is $950SGD which is $770usd or $970 USD during "Normal hrs" FOR 30 MIN!!! Compared to ParacleteXP is $575 2hrs they charge $3,150SGD which is $2,545 USD for super off peak or "Normal hrs" $4,000 SGD which is $3,233 USD.....now compare that to ParacleteXP 2hrs would be $2,300 USD...... That's almost $1,000 USD MORE for the same time. Now I know this isn't a fair comparison, but iflyOrlando is $1,400 USD for 2 hrs This is really confusing how they list it as skydives and not min and the fact that they say each skydive is 90sec. I've personally never had a 90sec skydive without a wingsuit or tracking suit! lol Considering the fact that its the same size as ParacleteXP in Raeford, NC it is considerably more expensive. What gives? Ok I understand land is expensive in Singapore and they seem to have prime location but still ! Only during super off peak hrs is it slightly more expensive Edit: to add For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  5. Stock from what I have experienced are in a plastic bag completely assembled and ready to jump. My last order of a stock PD canopy was ordered on a monday and I received it 3 days later! What canopy did you end up purchasing stock from them might I ask? Also has to do with which dealer you went through Could also possibly be if you ordered something custom that they (your dealer) are shipping it out all at the same time. Any by custom I mean something other than the canopy For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp

    Bill Booth Doco

  20. Right on. Short answer: yes. But... almost "no" if you buy a P2. ;-) Unless you are really fat or have really weird situation otherwise, or really strange goals, P2 will probably be great first suit. +1 My FFC is next weekend and I already put an order through for my P2 3 weeks ago! lol And I am by no means fat For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
