Hey, I´m travelling round South America at the moment and am heading to the Rio Carnival at the beginning of feb. Does anyone have any good dz suggestions for Rio or know of any skydiving events that I could muscle in on at this time? Cheers Steve

The Darker Side Of Cochstedt: http://picasaweb.google.com/stevesuch/Cochstedt2006 View photos at you own risk.... To be honest its just a load of excited people larking around, but they've had me giggling over the last hour bringing back fond memories, so enjoy! Can't wait until next year!!!!!

Ohhh yeah!!! I'll dig those other photos out later and put them in cyberland for the world to see!!

And the drinks were so bad you ended up sucking on a petrol pump!

Awesome! Nice job Jarno! I love the view from the ground, it gives you a real sense of speed!

Oooh Jesus! It's amazing how half a bottle of rum can make it look like you're enjoying anything! I didn't realize I was being suffocated by pillows whilst the whole imac thang was going down. Scott - You should've got the photo of Macca when he came out of the shop with his E200 worth of porn!

Aaaah, Women....in wingsuits.....with Champagne, can you blame me! Hey Betsie, I'll be uploading that "PURE" one of you later, so don't think you're getting away with it

AaaMen! What an awesome time! As you first arrive you are presented with the maddest DZ ever! Its got a proper control tower, baggage handling rooms, the works! Thanks to everyone for such an amazing time. I'll be buzzing for the next couple of weeks atleast!! The whole operation was so well organised and all the staff had a smile on their face the whole time! Amazing jumps during the day, I mean the 48way was done from 18,500ft which lastest almost 3 minutes and averaged 60mph!!!! It was so great to meet that many birdmen/women in one place and everyone learnt so much, with the debriefs (which I'm guessing were held somewhere around passport control) left everyone exclaiming FookYa!! as we watching them on the projector. Evenings were spent drinking beer and watching the video from the day. Those guys did a great job of getting the video out that quick! So thanks again to everyone for making that an amazing boogie. Same time next year? Toally Awwwwsome Dudes!!! Steve

We've lost contact aswell. I've been sending emails over the last week with no reply. Has anyone received their VISAs through yet? I feel a little unnerved sending photocopies of our passports over the net! We've put a deposit down for the Oka too, but it seems quite pricey at £25 a night. Does anyone know what the accomodation facilities are like on the DZ?

Well it was a great weekend for the jumps we actually made. Bloody windy, bloody Britain! Macca, I just had to try and fly you into national grid out of jealousy for you getting your S6 first!!

Hey! Looking forward to this boogie!!! Does anyone know of any hotels in the area? This is the only one we've found! http://cathelijnsphotos.photos.me.uk/p14844433.html 1. gadget (NL) 2. Jari (FI) 3.

Whooo Hooo!! God bless these 4 day bank holidays! See whoevers going up tomorrow then! Ahh Geordie Man I was looking forward to a couple of jumps and drinkies with ya! Thats you after one, that is.

Hey Congrats on the BMI mate!! Thats quality!! I'm glad I'm not the only one thats had a brush with a barbed wire fence. Hope you guys and gals all had a great time over Christmas and that you managed to get some more jumps in after the puss stopped Macca

Cheers guys! What an awesome weekend!!! I was very impressed with the BMI course, which was amazingly thorough with a great proffessional attitude. And a extra special thanks to Mark and Yari for making us work on the checkout dives!! We then did some great flocking dives and there was some awesome clouds around. Unfortunately Macca had to go home so missed those! Met loads of cool people there and a nutter from JordieLand too! Thanks for a top time!!!!!

Quality!! What a great weekend! Thanks guys, I learnt loads and met some great people.

I can't wait!!!! Its wingsuit crazy here in the UK with Sibson having theirs the following weekend too!! Looking forward to meeting some more wingers. See ya there.

Yeah it was great to get my hero worshipping done on the friday night and then actually jump with the guy on saturday! ( Thats Loic by the way and not Zeemax! ) I believe its also the place you used to fall asleep when you've had one to many shandies! Cheers for a top quality weekend guys!

Hey! Think a few more of us Headcorners are gunna try and make it this time. Looking forward to meet you all! Steve

Your just looking forward to the Spainyards admit it!! Would like to go to Nethers soon. But have resigned myself to a weekend at Headcorn! Thanks for the invite.

You buyin'?! Off to Empuria with Tilly next weekend so wouldn't be able to make anything for the next three weeks! But anytime after that....would love to!! I keep meaning to go down to Nethers as I'm living in Reading at the moment, just haven't got round to it yet!

Hey! I want to come and play too!! I'm not quite a London skydiver yet, although will be moving to Wimbledon soon!! Always up for some drinkies either in London or at Wings in Headcorn!

Yeah a bit like that, but having multiple syncronised GPSs on the same load. Many GPSs seem to have a play back function too so you could replay the jumps second by second with all jumpers on the screen at the same time. Thought it would be a good way of reviewing jumps.

Sure, as long as all the GPS receivers can talk to the software. However, if you are asking if the software can display 4 different people's flights onto one graph you might have a problem as I don't know of any software available to the public that does that. I don't understand. Why would the two peoples GPS data be that much different? Surely if the receivers were relatively accurate they'd be pretty much identical. Just reading a few metres away from each other.

Hi Still have wingsuited yet. But 4 weeks until I learn in Spain. Yaaay!! I was thinking about the GPS systems that you guys are jumping with and was wondering whether its possible to correlate the data from multiple devices into one software program? I just thought it would be really cool to have everyone on a flock wearing the GPS receiver and when you're debriefing, being able to watch the whole dive in realtime from every angle, seeing who was in, who was out etc. Anyone know if this is possible or tried it? I suppose it relies heavily on the accuracy of the GPS. But it would be good to see.
