Remster 24 #1 September 12, 2002 hey you Brits, there's a balloon festival in the town we live in this weekend, and I was wondering a few things: 1- Any one know what the going bribe rate is to do a jump? 2- What are the not-so-obvious gotchas?Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #3 September 12, 2002 I saw that too and my first thoughts were the same as yours I actually had a discussion with someone about the feasability of 'encouraging' a balloon pilot to give me lift up to a few k but he said when he tried it he was told (not so) politely to f*** off! Basically I think they can get into a lot of trouble and during a balloon festival there's gonna be a whole lot of people watching to report them to the balloon police. Shame though . Gus ps If however you manage it be sure to let other local skydivers know .OutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 24 #4 September 12, 2002 Of course I'm serious! Do I look like the kinda guy who jokes around? Some very good friends of mine managed to do just that, but that was back in the Montreal-ish area a few years back, but I had a sneaky suspicion that the UK official "balloon police" might be a bit more concerned for procedures....Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
