    I had no response in Gear and Rigging so I'll try here. We are looking to purchase a tuffet for accuracy competitions. Can anyone supply me with a name, address, whatever for a manufacturer of these. Thanks for any help given Steve McCurley Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
  3. Just bumping to the top still looking for info. The wind blades are sorted but still looking for info on tuffets. Para gear dosn't even list them so have these been a custum manufacture perhaps by an inflatable boat manufacturer? Again any and all information will be apreciated.

  4. Thanks for that, looks exactley what we need. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
  5. Quite a few Crescos and fletchers have been used over here in NZ. They are both Crop Dusters and the new XL750 from PAC is based on those. Inearley got to jump a drifter in Australia but the pilot chickened out so out of guilty feelings (which I of course encouraged) he gave me couple of hours of free flying in it instead Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
  6. We are looking for the best deal / quality for windblade poles fot use here in New Zealand and also we are looking to purchase a new tuffet for accuracy. Any and all information will be appreciated. thanks Steve McCurley Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
  7. What is the best source / type of windblade pole If anyone has a web address for a manufracturer they can pass on It would be apreciated. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
  8. I don't activly jump anymore (for now!!) and between my two kids the 14yr old daughter would like to go and try an tandem, the 15yr old boy doesn't seem to be interested. The only rason I havn't put her up for a tandem is my ex-wife says no!! And to think me met skydiving in the first place. Soon as she is old enough to not need mum's OK or if mum changes her mind I'll cough up the dough. I would love for her and my son to give it a try just because I would like them to have the chance to have all the fun and meet all the great people I have had the pleasure with.

  9. My father broke both his ankles on his 52nd jump hooking his Niagara Parchutes Cobra into the peas. SOOOOOOO I got his gear cheap! Cobra main (copy of a PS06, Baby Cobra 22' reserve (blood red) and for and aft rig. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

  11. I Changed mine in 84' (see avitar) Skydiving caveman with strato rock Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
  12. I don't see a problem with people asking questions on this forum. The original post was not directed at Bigway he mearly answered it. Other people, not connected to this course, also have thier chance to put in thier 2 cents worth. This is general discussions after all and that was the intent of the original post I believe.

  13. I'm sure you would note the differance between trees and bushes before take off on a load! Back when we were jumping rounds we usually noted things like that just to be sure of our approach to landing. You couldn't carve a roundy around an obsticle like you can today.

  14. Martin J1 is the main beast and also have a 1976 Yamaha FG160 and a Saehan acoustic bass Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
  15. I have a thirty yer old Cannon AT-1, fully manual. It does have a built in light meter but no automatic functions at all. It's fun to use and experiment with different settings and filters but jeepers the cost of developing compared to digital!!!! I think I have no choice economically but to go digital, except for special occasions where I may want enlargements. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
  16. I disagree, they may be putting this forward as some holy BS where the choice of government or religion is against Islam or using the excuse that it is not a fair arrangement for the sunnis vs shite balance of power. But I think theier real aggenda is 1.Give the US some grief because they feel it's the root of all thier own problems. (partly true but mostly BS) 2.They wish to have power for themselves and think nothing of trying to gain it under the gise of religion and at the expense of anyone who gets in their way. For the most part they are a bunch of criminals with little respect for life or thier own religion. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
  17. I would wish this was true. I don't think they will give up so easily. A large percentage of them don't come from Iraq and are there for their own aggenda which have little to do with voter turn outs or the free will of people to determine thier own future. Job well done to all the troops and individuals who have risked life and limb to bring this day about and congratulations to the people of Iraq.

  18. Hi Bigway Just a point on the instructors you mention. Great guys and talented skydivers. And having been an instructor myself in the past I feel the whole team has not only the skills, but the personality and desire to to be able to pass those skills on to new or less experianced jumpers. I just wouldn't use winning the NZ Nationals as a referance since the event is so small in comparison to even monthly club meets elsewere. Our nationals are a great event for all the locals and ocasional travelling jumping, but on the internatioanl scale of competition we must have one of the smallest in the world.

  19. 12,000,000 Jews? Has this number been verified or has the population of jews been deliberatly underestimated to put a larger slant on the statistics. Just doesn't seem a large enough number to me. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
  20. You know bigway we can see it's the same attachment by looking at the address bar below before clicking? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and I,ll have to get revenge!! Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

  23. Is that your idea of an intellegent or humorus statement? Or are you just upset cause you can't handle real beer and it gives you the runs? Personally I don't think yanks in general are pricks but you just may qualify as a stupid one if your post is representative of your general attitute. Please feel free to be insulted by the above.

  24. Brisbane is a great place. 1 1/2 hrs to Toogoolawah DZ (my favorite in the world with 2 Caravans). In Brisbane you must go to the Breakfast creek hotel for a steak dinner. Fraser Island to the north, Byron Bay to the south, Surfers sucks but lots of neat places to see inland from there. If I wasn't living here in NZ I'd have moved back to Brissie years ago.

  25. You got caught, your fault, your problem. With your attitude Canadians will be glad for you to keep your money and stay the hell home. Grow up, suck it up, and stop wining about one of the best countries in the world, not to mention the millions of people who live there.
