  1. Great news! M. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  2. Visit both and decide then. I have been in Houston the second half of 2004 and jumped at both DZs. Personally I liked Skydive Houston best as they have a pool and not that many mosquitos. And it seemed that there are more people staying over night (which was for free). AND they had the cheaper tickets at that time (big point). On the other hand skyfest and TSR have been great events which Spaceland was/is the right place for. If you go to SDH, please say hi to everybody from Markus.

  4. linetwists with a diving main The first one would probably not be a problem anymore from my experience now but at that time seemed unsolvable. On the second I was diving towards earth immediately after opening with 3 feet of line twist where I couldn't even tell which direction the twist was. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!

  10. First of all, most of them voted No because they are against Chirac and not against the EU constitution. A bad way to show this opinion - some people would say:A typical french behaviour. The other thing is, with the denial of the new EU constitution, the treaties from Nice will stay active and even most of the oponents of the new constitution say, that this is worse. So, IMO, a bad day for Europe. M. P.S: The Turkey thing is another issue - how about a new thread on that? vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  11. Hi Jimbo, I do, I do, I do... So did I. Yesterdays 220km/h (sorry - no speedy Golf like Christel) has been fun - like always M. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!

  15. This is, how it was explained to me last year (thanks Luminous): "Well, basically it's (at least) an 8way. Just a big round with a non-linked exit. Gear up, I tell you the rest later." Have fun! M. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!

  18. I was hunting for a new job to finance skydiving. Other than that I am hanging aroung my smal German dZ each weekend, looking at a lot of clouds and not that much sun. The standard plane is downsized to Cessna 206 Turbine (yes - planes do exist, wher just 6 jumpers are on board) and I have signed up for an amazing 20way attempt at the end of this month. (whispers also talk about something around 40-50 going on one month later) So again, have fun an spend a short thought for the folks with the small planes and the expensive jump tickets on your next ride to altitude
  19. Hey Val! Have you joimed the last BigWay Camp? How was it? Pleas say hi to all the folks around and have fun!!!!!!!! M. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!

  22. There was a discussion about this some weeks ago in one of the forums (to lazy to search for it). It's a topic in some other European countries (like Germany and France) too but to get effective it has to be approved by all EU- member countries and at least three or four are totally against it so it - hopefully - will take some years till everybody agrees on it.

  24. In my opinion they are still valid. It is a great tool and you will love it. M. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  25. That should still work. I send stuff back to Germany which was brand new and worth about $ 400. I declared it as a gift but also put the value on as I insured the package for that specific value. No custom problems at all. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
