SkydiveScotty 0 #1 March 15, 2004 After starting my BPA AFF in Rofan, France a year and a half ago, I just qualified and completed my consol jumps last week at Florida Skydive Centre in Lake Wales. I've no idea what sort of gear to get started with as living on the island of Guernsey getting to a DZ isn't EZ (weighing 170lbs and landing 95% on my feet - unlike SkydreamerXXX - Hi Bill). Shout out to all at FSC who all made my week there enjoyable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice to see another CI bod on the site. btw, we have a USPA DZ in Jersey so it's only a short boat/plane trip away. Promise no donkey jokes "This isn't an iron lung, people.
