Excellent stuff, thanks everyone

That's cool, Also heard there was someone around perris doing it

Am planning to get married soon, and looking to do it in a hot air balloon then jump out together. Unfortunatley we're not allowed to do this in UK as you can only get married in certain licenced places. Any ideas or suggestions as to where this can be done in the USA would be greatly appreciated.

No Weapons allowed, No rules. If Rocky and Rambo met for a fight, who would win?

And I was clicking through the forums of DropZone.com and saw that you had won a Gold Medal in Freefly Skydiving! Could this possibly be true?

Thanks for the text m8, just realised what makes it even funnier is you calling Mike and Andy over to take the piss out of Paul just before it happens. Don't care what you say, don't think 'my shoe lace came undone' is a valid excuse

Sorry Nige, the one time I fly and there's DVD going on!!! Couldn't not post this http://www.vertical-insanity.com/nigel.avi Divx

Honestly mate that is the correct phone number

Yep, and wearing their normal jump suits which are in no way baggy. My FF suit is tight, and I can easily go to the top of the tunnel in a sit on 75% of the new new high power setting

Haven't heard that one before, most of us just call you dead man walking, and that was before you started BASE

Ok bit more detail. Was wanting to test out Bedford after the power increase but could only do Wednesday evening, sadly Bedford were choca, so thought may aswell get some time in and booked Milton Keynes. Had an awesome time loads of 2 way head up with marco(Michael). As always with Airkix left feeling euphoric as the air is so choice (powerful and smooth). Then I though may aswell pop in to Bedford on the way home. Got there and managed to blag some time as the staff where having a 'lock in' It was a beutiful experience, I nearly wept the power was awesome, every bit as good as Airkix for freeflying plus you get the bigger tunnel. And the icing on the cake got to fly with Fabian, and then Fabian and rob. At one point we where all facing into centre and hands in middle on a 3 way dock. Don't think this would've been possible for me before the power increase as i was so much using my arms for lift before but now they are free. Think we should consider ourselves privileged to have 2 of the best wind tunnels in the world. On balance for me and freeflying it's tricky. They are now both awesome for speed(pressure). The extra space at Bedford is a plus. Also feel a loyalty to Freejive as am good mates with Rob and Chris. Have also made some good friends at Milton Keynes (Marco, and Alec). Guess for the most part it'll be Bedford and ocassionalyy Airkix to mix it up a bit. Also think it's such an amazing sport where mere saps like us get to regularly train with the countries/worlds best. oh and Rob

Wow

This is our concern !

It's actually the url rather than content which is a problem, we develop a lot of dating sites, and have recently added a site where people can buy as a present for a friend a voucher which entitles them to membership. the url is gonna be buyyourmateadate.com. Is it any clearer in this context?

Sorry gets worse, what does SO mean?

Need some help from Americans only. I'm currently working on an international website, and we have a problem with a particular phrase. Would you interpret the phrase "I'm going to see my mate" as: a) I'm going to see my partner/husband/wife or b) I'm going to see a friend Thanks

The great thing about Airkix for solo/2 way free fly is that the air allows a nice neutral (skydivers) sit position so you are in the middle of your speed range which is more comfortable and gives greater mobility and more options to adjust your fall rate when required. (i.e. docks, transitions) I'm really hoping the adjustment at Bedford will take it to this level. I'll be back there soon to find out!!!

Think that may translate to the first time i tried backflying in a tunnel it was hard, the next time is was a bit easier. Theres no doubt Bedford could pin you to the ceiling on your back before or after the adjustment

Seen the thread, if Bedford can generate the speed (pressure) that Airkix can then it will undoubtedly be the ultimate package

Can't argue with that if you're a flat flyer. But for freeflying the air at Airkix is SOMETHIN ELSE...

Ermm are you supossed to pay to park in the rest of the car park then?, been a couple of times at about 8-10 at night and never paid any car parking

yep, theres no question it's wrong, but i'm asking is it just wrong, or is it wrong and funny. Even though I know it's wrong I'm afraid I couldn'thelplaughing

Just got moderated for posting this link on another site. Is it funny, or is it just wrong? http://www.belm.org.uk

Apologies for going of topic, and not knocking Rain-man for his choices. I don't consider my canopy progression to have been overly aggressive, but I have always been ambitious and pushed my limits whilst trying to keep a safety margin. We are talking Sabre2 at 1.3 at 250 jumps, Katana at 1.6 at 500 jumps, and recently Velo at 1.9 at 900 jumps. With these choices some have supported me, and I have received some heat. You could be potentially the worlds greatest canopy pilot, and I don't want to bring that into question. The thing that amazes me is that any CCI in England or anywhere else for that matter would let somebody with 200 jumps on a VX at 2.45. My reason for saying this has nothing to do with your ability (I don't know you and haven't seen you fly it), but if you were to seriously injure or kill yourself there would be an inquiry and I don't think the BPA would look favourably on the CCI who let you jump it. To back this up I dislocated a shoulder on opening on the Katana at 600 jumps, and the BPA response to the incident report highlighted my 1.6 wing loading as very ambitious. Would be very interested to hear more about your progression, and the reaction of peers, instructors, CCI's. Welcome to PM me if you would prefer.

Yep, deffinatley 100% what Peej said!
