gus 1 #2 February 21, 2006 QuoteItry not to piss in others people pools now There is a very easy way to avoid pissing in other people's pools: call the locals! You have plenty of experienced jumpers down in your corner of the country, I suggest you give them a ring or meet them for a beer.

brabzzz 0 #3 February 21, 2006 Slightly randomly the Metro published a short trashy article in peeing in pools. Apparently the 'detector dye' is a myth..and it's the pee that makes your eyes sting, not the chlorine. And on that note, erm, i'd best get back to work. --------------------------------------- Ex-University of Bristol Skydiving Club www.skydivebristoluni.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BASE813 0 #9 February 26, 2006 its so easy to unleash the fury onto the community with a few quid and a few jumps….. so tell me, why are your non jumping friends emailing / PMing all of us UK jumpers trying to get you contacts and friends rather than you? Also, I would to like to hear your report of your FJC, I want to know why it was so good... seriously... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BASE813 0 #17 February 26, 2006 just curious, from all the PM's and eMails from people, I am questioning whether this spanish course is actually as "decent" as people are thinking.... I WILL put my neck out here and say that from all the PM's and eMails I have had, this course is not as tight and worthwhile as people are thinking.... I WILL stick my neck out and say that the people that attended this course are NOT worthwhile jumping in their own country after the course - so why do you think the FJC is worthwhile..... you guys may be experienced, but you have just released some inexperienced people on our country without a blink of an eye.... that to me is disrespectful... pas I would love to hear your thoughts about releasing someone like this back on our own soil.... I sit back and await the flack.... I do admit I am a cunt sometimes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #19 February 27, 2006 Feel I should add a little to the whining in here. Locals will know but for the others I have made contact with a few of you. I volunteered myself to help RedDevil1 out, looking in the line of groundcrew. Now I have no BASE experience and very little skydiving experience but I dont pretend that I do. To me this seemed good. Help a fellow jumper out and in turn learn something in the long slog to maybe being my turn some time in the far off future. I give a bit of labour, im rewarded with a bit of knowledge. I thought this was standard practice and a good way to work your way up amongst the community. I made contact with a few locals as much for myself as for him and it appears it doesnt work like that. Once a bad impression has been painted, its hard to change. Im kinda sad that it appears so difficult to get into this 'elite' group and the amount of fuss thats been caused has kinda put me off wanting to to be honest. Maybe things will be different in a year or two. Who knows. Anyway... stay safe, might see you in the future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBRnick 0 #20 February 27, 2006 Quoteyou guys may be experienced, but you have just released some inexperienced people on our country without a blink of an eye.... Dont bite my head off if Im wrong, just playing devils advocate for a moment :) Im not a base jumper so this is just an outsiders observation as it were, but this is a serious question. The quote ive picked out here, isnt this what effectively all FJC's do? If an English skydiver with no base experience did a well respected FJC in Twin falls for instance. When this skydiver travels back to the UK, if he then began to behave 'badly' wouldnt he be in exactly the same situation that the guy this post is about is in? If the guy who does the twin falls FJC was a real solid guy at the time of the course then turns out to be a real arse at a later date, would the twin falls FJC instructors also be disrespectful? Seems that with your point of view, it would mean that if this guy turns out not to be an asset to the community, Uli will get the blame for the behavour of someone he once trained who is now completely outside his control. This isnt a snide dig at the original poster or anyone else. Its a genuine question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean621 0 #23 February 27, 2006 it will always be that way..people historically do not contact 'the community'..its probably down to the insular nature of the sport especially in the uk...we have no program in place for pre schooling newbies and for looking after them once trained... maybe a stickie with the UK base board url for the newbies and a polite request for all the trainers to let someone in the UK know whos doing what...then again confidentiality may be an issue.. who knows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reddevil1 0 #24 February 27, 2006 Well some one should do a newbie school, it would help a lot,,,and a FJC in the UK ,that would be the iceing on the cake.,,,/Certain people have a CHIP on there shoulder about weather i should be in base ,but i here now, and i going to stay ,so help a young man not stab him in the back.
