I just noticed you're in Aus too... Sorry to get your hopes up!

I'm organising one for Perris. I'm going to be heading over there in August 15th-17th August. So I'm hoping to organise it for then sometime. Anyone else who wants to come along would be great! :) The more the merrier (until the balloon is full) lol I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com

Me too! :) I'm interested to know any tips as well! I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com

I'm pretty sure the conversion of A license if pretty generic across the board, with some elements being a bit more strict in Aus but I think it's also the other licenses that can be tricky. In Aus an A license allows you to jump solo flat flying only. You must have a B license equivalent to jump with others or free fly. The B license in Aus also requires the completion of 'B rels' which is essentially a rel work table to complete. There are about 10 stages and you have to do accuracies and stuff too... The CI would just check out your log book and work out where your license would convert at and go from there... Hope that helps a bit! :) I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com

Hey all! I'm heading over to Perris in August and I'm trying to organise a Balloon jump. I'm liaising with the balloon peeps and wanting to know if anyone else is interested in coming along! :) It's $90/jump/person. Minimum requirement is B license. Any takers?

You'll love it! The AFF courses are so much fun!! Remember to take everything you read in forums with a grain of salt. Always take the word of your instructors and ask lots of different instructors! Welcome! :) I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com

That would be $0.0195296 AUD, so you're kind of short-changing him. BAHAHAHA!!! I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com

Thanks for that info... I did hear that there were certain jump numbers so I'll see what I'm up to by the time I get there and ask around! :) Otherwise I'll be stoked just to be jumping out of different planes! :) I'm always jumping from an XL.

Having done almost all of my jumps at Nagambie, I find it hard to believe that it was just that you asked too many questions about safety issues... I'm constantly asking Don and Louise (and the instructors) about safetly procedures, different types of gear, best practices etc. Don and Lou wouldn't turn people away just for being concerned about their own safety....

I don't know if those things distiguish you as a 'skydiver'.... I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com

Awesome dude!! Do you live in LA or perris? My plan is to head out from LA early on the morning of the 15th August and return to LA on the arvo of the 17th Aug... Do you drive from LA to Perris? I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com

Ska is actually not very new... Massive in the 90's and late 80's... Sublime, early No Doubt... Kinda like reggae-ish I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com

It certainly does... I refer you to one of my previous posts in this thread naming a few of my favourites... I did however think it was fairly safe to assume that allthough there would be many people who enjoy classical music it would most likely not be the dominant genre in their daily listening.... If that's not you though and the most popular genre in your playlists is classical, i'll be sure to manually take down your vote and email you my final report and findings... I did however fuck up on the electronic and country music haha... I'll take manual votes for those two! I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com

Hmmm I didn't do very well with the genres did I! Hahaha... Forgot dubstep and any electronic music at all... forgot country, and classical... lol AND I CALL MYSELF A MUSICIAN! HA! I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com

Yea it sucked there wasn't enough options to include more genres! Although I must say I'm not a country fan... Some classical is cool like Chopin and I loooooove Philip Glass lol fair enough. also nice choice on the piano music :). I think it's the ex-ballerina in me that loves the piano stuff... I also blame the ex-ballerina for loving freestyle skydiving! I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com
