  1. Perhaps, like others have said, it's just not the sport for you. For me skydiving was a crazy thrill at the start, It scared me shitless and I was packing at least a semi-chub each time I landed. Now I don't get a buzz out of the freefall part at all, I get the buzz when I'm on the ground and I high-five the people I jumped with and I get to share the memory of flight with them. I say stick with it for a while if money isn't a factor. Once you have done a solo and scared yourself a bit you will realise how much there is to the sport and hopefully you fall in-love with it and spend all your money like I have
  2. I hope I never have to chop.. But I most likely will at some stage. I may even have three or four or 20! I'm a mix of both questions. I look forward to it so I can experience it and become more confident with my EPs. On the same note, I don't look forward to it, lost canopy, handles ect.ect. I did find myself thinking "man, i just wanna have a chop" when I was helping out with a guys star-crest Feet on the ground - Head in the clouds
  3. RW is great! Granted I've not done much free flying or anything else for that matter but that's just a testament to how enjoyable RW is for me. Each their own. I will never understand the beef between different disciplines. We are all jumping out of planes because we enjoy it. As long as you do it in a safe manner that is all that should matter.

  4. Awesome! i'll most certainly bump into you then just watched the video and found out how to rig it up. Didn't know about the Velcro tabs. Feet on the ground - Head in the clouds
  5. Ah, great! thank you so much for the video. I'm hopeless with written instructions. No need for the concerns, once I am eligible to jump it (only 20 more jumps) I will most likely get my mate scott paterson to coach me. Also, I am always up for jumping with new people so I may take you up on that offer. I'll be sure to get in touch :) thank you again. Blue skies and kind regards, Alex Feet on the ground - Head in the clouds
  6. Hey there bird-people! Sorry if this has already been posted, i did check the search bar, promise. I just got my wingsuit delivered and can't jump for a while due to uni. I was just questioning whether or not there is a video on assembling the rig to the wingsuit or someone could give me some hints. there isn't a manual on the phoenix fly website. Thank you kindly, Alex
  7. That is by far the best thing I've ever read on this site! hahaha classic Feet on the ground - Head in the clouds

  9. Ten days late.. But they are wonderful! A nice jump from 15 today and more coming tomorrow. So close to my B license. Hope all is well with you and I wish you bright blue skies and little wind :) Feet on the ground - Head in the clouds
  10. Hey there everyone! Just a quick hello to my fellow skydivers of the world. Hope everyone is having an awesome day and the skies are looking nice and blue. Much love, Alex
