  1. if you already have your aff license go and do it somehwerelse. it costs nz'ers 7,500 and foreigners 12,500nzd. i did it. it is great to get into skydiving being a kiwi cause you can get a student loan. if you already have your a license though think about it this way....if you do the course, it is a course!! you are back in a educational environment. class starts at a certain time and finishes at a certain time. if you are absent you get jumps docked from the money you have already paid. if you are late, you get in trouble. you have exams, you have to go to lectures on rainy days. you HAVE TO PACK 40 TANDEMS. you have to do homework and assignments. Now skydiving is about fun!. do you want to spend all day when it is raining in a class room and feel like you can get in trouble by the teacher again??? or do you want to jump when you want and not when you have to?? if you do not however have your license well go and do this and get the student loan from the govt. so you can pay it back with no interest for the rest of your life....oh, wait you are from the u.k. so you can't get the loan and you have to pay 5,000nzd more than everyone else. dude, for 9000 nz dollars i will give you a return plane ticket to auckland via thailand and australia, free accomodation at our dz, 170 skydives from 13,000feet, this includes 20 free coach jumps from the new zealand 4-way team, a video editing course and packing course. all of this for 3-4000nzd cheaper than anywhere in new zealand. email me if you are interested. I am in kenmore scotland at the moment and have just sent a bloke over there, he arrives in december, to start his aff course. now i am not trying to take bussiness from christchurch, but i was on the course and it is good but it is SCHOOL with deadlines and times. where i am telling you about, has it's tandems but also has alot of sport jumpers and the top freeflers and rw coaches in the country, these are the blokes who win our nationals and represent our country. anyway, sorry if this sounds like a sale pitch, i just think this is the best and cheapest option for anyone going to new zealand. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  2. holy shit, there is some psyco's on that page, you must read the first page intro's. one guy reackons he is a stalker but is getting better now. lmal .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  3. you can make a pretty good living in new zealand as long as you are at a tandem factory. you get around 50 nzd per jump as a tandem master or camera flyer. you will do close to 1000 jumps per year. you also get extra for aff and static line. 50,000nzd is good money in new zealand but you do need to be at a busy dz. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  4. yeah gidday mike, how is queenstown? i see chch has got a new cresco. by the way i can jump in new zealand and i do jump in new zealand. i was talking about dylan not being able to jump. you know who i am. my posts hear, you might not agree with but if you read them all you will realise that i say alot of good things as well as the things i felt bad. you are involved with this company for a few years now so i think you will know alot more about this course than me. i hear it is alot more touched up and that is good. i know they have produced some great skydivers, and some bad ones. anyway these were just my views and i was talking for me and knowonelse. i will say though i have 2 friends starting the course on 2 different intakes next year and these are people i have sent there that i have met while travelling overseas so they are international students. I do alot of marleting for my dropzone in new zealand while i travell as well. mike, send me your email address, i just got a custom made wings and conopies, mad rig, Just spent a bloddy fortune on everything brand new again. see ya. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    wings post

    i have just got my wings and am now looking at exchanging my second rig to a wings as well cause of the comfort issue. the colours i got on this one though, well lets just say i could have researched colours a bit better. i am hoping you lot will be kind enough to post your wings so i can see different ideas and colour schemes. i aint going to be stealing anyones design or colour scheme though. i will post mine when i get to my camera but it is black and silver with yellow and red tye die. peace .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  7. didn't someone design an 'executive rig' surely they will let you take a rig up. just curious though, with the threat so high are they paying you guys danger money or anything like that? have you recieved a letter from your life insurance telling you that your insurance has been tripled or suspended? screw going to work, spend the week at your dz. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  8. where was the optionto tick already done it. well when i was about 16 i was driving through the kentucky fried chiken one. okat it took 20 minutes to get to the pick up window. then i was told it would be 2 minutes. 5 minutes later they gave me something i never ordered. still waiting at the window another 5 minutes i got what i ordered minus my fries. so i asked for my fries and ordered a large water. when she gave me the water she then went off and got me my fries . when she came back she got the whole cup of water all over her. it was a direct hit and the funniest thing at the time. i dont know if i would do it now 10 years later but damn was it funny when i did it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    c-185, now there is a plane. at my dz my first couple hundred jumps were from c-182, c-185, c-206. the 182, well sometimes we had to get out under 10k cause it would just not want to go any higher. the 185, well we had the fastest in our country so we got 12 in good time. we took it up to 20,000ft with the pilot and 3 jumpers in 48minutes. now jumping from 20,000ft is a buzz on it's own, but getting a cessna 185 to 20,000ft with 3 on board, well that is pure adrenaline. i then had a few jumps out of a c-402, lots more room in the plane, but then of course they cram more jumpers in so it feels like a 182 again. i then went to a dz that had no1 plane as the porter. well now skydiving became more fun and less waiting and sleeping. bring on the turbines. blue skies. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  15. in reply to .. Perhaps, Bigway needs to impress (whuffo) girls with his jump number ? Wink Angelic sometimes i really wish i was not in a relationship with a WHUFFO, belive me i am after this relationship i am way past trying pick up girls who dont jump. To change the subject a bit.....my instructor told me to never get involved with a non-jumper...maybe he was going through a hard time in his... but i am definetly starting to see what he meant. i have been travelling around the world for the last year and a half straight, my dream was to travell dz's around the world. with my partner though it somehow managed to get turned around to travelling around the world to save money. don't get me wrong my jump numbers don't even start to impress me yet. i am about 400 jumps away from my goal. my first was to travell around the world to dz's. ....and that aint happening. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  16. ok duke, all is good. just look at it another way for a second. If every bloke started writing what you did or showing this behaviour at a dz. this is what what i think becomes offensive to some females. i think we are all equall on a dropzone and it is a great place to go to be a skydiver and not a 'smokin girl' or sexy or whatever. what i was trying to do is push this post in to being closed before everyone starts giving their opinions on female skydivers. The reason is if they start looking up the profiles of the person who posts such comments and see where you jump maybe they will have second thoughts of visiting your dz. this has to be bad for your dz, and bad for the sport. I now am very aware that i have taken this post down a complete different road than where you intentionally meant it to go. Just realise that we are all family when visiting other dz's and for females it must be very hard on a hot summers day to pack a parachute, we all take our tops off. these women can not have this advantage so they have to wear bra's bikini tops what ever. maybe comments like this make it hard for them to do feel comfortanle doing this. maybe i belive comments like this can then bring self esteem problems to dz's. to me this sport is a place where i can feel the most comfortable i have ever felt in my life. Maybe alot of females feel this way too. these comments will soon take that away from them.. but i am a male so i should not speak for them and again apologise for any comments made and also apologise to any females if i have laid insult in any form. blue skies .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  17. yeah i think you have it all taken it the wrong way. maybe i wrote it wrong. I like having students join our dz. the thing is i remember asking one of my seniors about why there are no woman at at the dz. he told me that a few years ago there was lots of woman in the sport but they have left due to peoople like myself who want to just check them out. i realise frome watching old videos that there was alot of females in the sport. where are they now. i have watched girls leave a dz because of the extra attention from us males. but...when you put up a post about female skydivers being smokin. well that is bullshit. i think you will realise waht i am saying one day but until then i am SORRY for the way i have said this, i was hung over. i am also SORRY to offend you students. I like students at the dz cause they show so much enthusiasm and keep the sport alive. i belive though if you want to start posts about women being smokin maybe you should take it to a male chat room or something. This is for skydiving and not to sit here and write about what males think of women it is to write about skydiving issues and discussions. Not sexist remarks( even though they are probably are compliments. I meant the whole impress her with your 15 jumps thig and tell her some of your stories as a JOKE. i see it did not come out that way as i must have used the wrong smiley face. i am not trying to offend you just like you are probably not offending women. i just think that this something you need to be aware of as a new guy to the dz life. take it however you want to, make a big deal, flame me whatever makes you feel better but just keep the women coming into the sport and dont send them packing by talking rubbish about them. And o.s. most of the photos on this site...whatever you said..well i have not posted any, you have not offended me and if you want to be a jerk keep trying well so be it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  18. that's not what i am saying at all mate! i am trying to say that there is not enough females in the sport. i belive the reason is that you get dickheads sitting their all day eyeing them up . this makes them uncomfortable and leave. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  19. maybe you should start listening to your instuctor when it comes to pull time. He tells you what height to pull at for a reason. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  20. yeah i think you missed that it is this sort of bullshit talk that drives female skydivers away from the sport. listen to you guys, what sort of girl wants to go to a dz and know you guys are just staring at her. have you noticed that it is you students who are the only ones that write about this shit.?? that's cause everyone else is well aware that this is the talk that drives them away. you want girls at your dz? start by not posting ridiculous posts like this in the forums. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  21. yeah that was me mate i got One log book, just dont have my first 100 jumps log book. my new wings is being sent over from new zealand in about 3 weeks so will be producing sun for your dz. dude, today it is raining in kenmore, where is the sun. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  22. i bet you impress her with your 15 jumps. maybe you should tell her some skydiving stories. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  23. yeah cheers mate i phoned you guys up about a month ago and have not been able to get out there cause weekends is a bad time for me. my plans are to get out there in the next couple of weeks. I tell you what it is a gorgeous day today. hope everything is going a bit better for you guys now. it was awful shifting here and the next day reading the tabloids. i will see you in the near future.. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  24. to be fair the weather is extremley shit in scotland. i live in kenmore and it rains every bloody weekend. where in scotland are you? you do 250 jumps a year in weekends. i have lived here a year and have not seen weekends that are jumpable very often. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
