  1. Na, Sydney isnt home, but its where I am right now. I will be flying in more than likely from Prague in the Czech Republic. If you know anything about the Czechs, the beer they have there is #1, and if you like beer, I'll bring you a bottle of Gambrinus. Its mothers milk!! Once at the farm, someone there can help me out with buying gear correct? Obviously second hand, because reading about all the different things is a little confusing for a novice!

  3. Wow, thanks for detailed reply. I got a reply on my personal email from Hans so will call up once the U.S opens (Im on the other side of the world!). I can pull 14 days I think. While I am it asking questions, how long between jumps is sufficient so you do not have to do a refresher course? I know safety is paramount, but where work sends me sometimes I wont have time. I dont stay in one place, so dont have the luxury of being in one DZ where you can call home. 2 months maybe?
    I guess I also have to rent a car right to get out at night and chill out right? Are there any facilities to BBQ on a open grill when you camp? I am bush bashing this and want to be completely with nature!
    In reply, I am very fit and my body is able to keep up, but as you said its more mental. Well, I did do ok in school...so maybe thats a bonus!!

    Cheers mate!

  4. OK, I'll go through here if thats ok. Is there a set date or time that I have to go? I mean, I will be flying in internationally and nothing is listed as to what dates you do this. It would be for sometime say Jan 20th- Feb 15th. Also, how long should I allocate to get the license with weather and all? Anything you can reply to would be helpful!!

  6. Well i dont really care about connections and all of that as my job takes me all over the world. So in essence, I am not going to bee going to only 1 DZ, but rather every week will be somewhere else. So just want to get my license and then where work takes me I'll jump at whatever DZ is there. So of course price comes into play, but this skydive the farm looks ok from what I have researched so far....

  8. Konitchiwa! Looking for a decent place in the U.S to get my license. Obviously price comes into play and I have seen a few places for around the $2500 mark. I understand that if you fail a course, you have to redo it so a place that maybe you can use one off your solo jumps instead of paying an additional jump? Also, this would be for February so the winter season would have to be taken into consideration. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
