  1. Hi guys, hope you can give me some advice about a topic which really got me lost.

    I was thinking about buying a full face skydiving helmet. I asked an online shop about the Square Phamtom X helmet which I had very good reviews as far as I knew.

    They repplied that although they still have it on their webpage, they were not selling this helmet anymore because of its problems with the visor system openings

    Have you heard or read about these problems? Is it really a good option to spend my money on this item? Or is it better if I change for the G3 Cookie helmet?

    Have you further information about other options?

    Yes. There is a huge difference. The one in New Hampshire will be a much better tool for skydiving training. The other style of tunnel (in Niagara Falls) may be fun but it is not nearly as realistic a freefall simulation.



    Thank you.

    I suppose I should really make a coach to take advantage of the time, souldn´t I?

    By the way I am going with my brother who never has experienced freefalling. Is it worth for him, too?

  3. I am a novice skydiver (~60 jumps) and was thinking about taking some time at a wind tunnel to improve my basic skills in belly flying and also try some freeflying basics.

    The question is that I would be travelling around the North east coast and also Canada border.

    Is there any noticeable difference between the New Hampshire tunnel and the one located close to the Niagara Falls resort?

    Thank you in advance and forgive my grammar or spelling

  4. I am not an experienced skydiver at all (60 jumps) but I live in Spain and have been in several DZs.

    Skydive Lillo (120 km far away from Madrid) is a little DZ but has a near family ambience that really makes you feel confortable and relaxed. They used to have a Pilatus for daily work and sometimes Caravan at the weekends.

    Skydive Madrid is the closest DZ to Madrid (45 minutes on the highway) and has 2 Pilatus. Also a nice bar an good packing ad chill out zone.


    Skytime in Castellón is also a little dropzone but is very close to the seashore and has awesome views. Their packing zone is quite small but has great instructors and reasonable prices

  5. I am a new 35 year old addict to this fabulous sport.
    Have recently finished my AFF and A license.

    I am travelling to Ontario and New York this summer and want someone to give me advice about DZ in this area.
    I am also looking to buy my first canopy (80 kg and 1.83 m)

    What would you recommend me to buy?
