gus 1 #5 January 27, 2006 You have at least a couple of experienced and active jumpers at Sibson, they would be a good place to start for advice. GusOutpatientsOnline.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabre210 0 #9 February 5, 2006 Hi The UK site is up and down at the moment. I don't know if you have posted there yet cos I can't check, but taking it there is the way to go forward. And to reiterate a previous post, ask at your DZ for the active jumpers and seek them out and talk to them in person....it's always better that way.

cvarao 0 #11 February 8, 2006 mac205.. it's about YOU and YOU only... no one can encourage you or help you from doing it! A few more jumps and base parachute packing and I shall be on my way to... I hope... That is what I always say to people: I always, always wanted to jump from bridges, buildings (and all the B.A.S.E) but it might happen that after a jump I realise I don't like it... or get addicted to it, like in skydiving! First it was just to burn time while I didn't have snow for snowboarding.. now.. how cares for snowboarding!?"

brabzzz 0 #12 February 8, 2006 I was gonna say, that's exactly how i feel. I was looking for paragliding, but the skydivers got to me first. Thought I'd humour them for a jump with my presence..and shit, thousands of pounds down the line, look what happened! BASE? Gonna give it a go. Might come down thinking 'never again' (and actually mean it, unlike after my first dozen or so skydives), but i'd like to think not! --------------------------------------- Ex-University of Bristol Skydiving Club www.skydivebristoluni.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
