  1. why r most french dz's closed now? is it just for winter or something more sinister
  2. i hear the hibby boogies are amazin... im from the uk myself, and am going to wait until next year to start my AFF at hibby..., but until then i'm working to save up some cash to pay for it!. i dont fancy doin it abroad because of the risk of finding it hard to finish the training... so i think i'm going to hope for a few weeks of good weather so i can get the course and consol jumps done. Fingers Crossed! CrazyDave
  3. i never knew enclave had scnd hand gear. anyway, if the guy that started the thread needs more help i suggest looking around on these forums for another thread... i myself started one about this at some point in the last 6 months, and i know there are others. it is a bit hard tho finding accectable first rigs in the uk. we seem to get a few people trying to con people with little experiance into buying either very old rigs / chutes, or selling equipment not actually suitable for new peopple
  4. DUDE!... ive heard of an 80 yr old doin a tandem... but on his own! - awsome i'd of liked to see that. congrats to him!
  5. congratulations... i really need those blue sky's so save some for me
  6. at least we in the uk dont hog all the blue sky's... but then again we dont see much of it anyway at this time of the year
  7. have you checked out the dropzones bit on dropzone.com???? - im not sure whether theres anything on there, but if i remember there is a hole site devoted to the entire worlds dropzone listings try google im sure youll find it
  8. gear is pretty expensive but with gloves a lot of them are from different sports... so you might be able to get them cheaper on a specialised site other than skydiving ones. as gear is so expensive i think i might start up a donate money to me fund... any takers?
  9. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!' i am new to skydiving... but i have noticed on a lot of threads that people respond by putting beeer! i assume that this is a saying that means drink lots of beer coz u did summit gud!?!?!? but i dont really know.. can someone give me a proper definition (if any)? cheeers CrazyDave
  10. ok.... well ill have to look into wether they provide one for the aff students
  11. oh my god.................................................................................................................................................................................. how could anyone be like that... i think we should strike back by popping all of their footballs hehe
  12. i was wondering... when did you start filling out your logbook do you need to have one ready for your first jumps?!?! and do you enter your AFF jumps in the book?
  13. have u actually jumped out of a b-17??? how many of them are flying these days, there cant be many left now? 727 as in the jet? - awsome
  14. Wait a minute.... i was told by my law teacher that they have to be charged or released within 96 hours, i'm sure the news said they were charged.... aw well i guess i go law lessons and 'law and order' mixed up again!!!! Sorry For the mistake! CrazyDave
  15. i'd love to do a HALO when i'm older.... but i guess my first solo will have to come first
  16. this sounds like my thoughts exactly! apart from the loosing a bet... i never bet unless i know im gonna win
  17. ditto.... and the fact that the chute opened was a bonus!
  18. just heard the new news!!!!!!!!! the guy thats bein arrested is from leeds
  19. yes ive heard of them..... and you know when they know when to pull the ripcord........ When the dog lead goes slack!
  20. are you not british? I am.. and they are very effective in matters other than speed cameras. - they seem to be handling this situation very well. they wouldnt have held them if they didnt have enough evidence, but if u guys remember they have now being charged with suspicion.. and released on bail.
  21. but the eagle will probably want them back (me hears loud bang as bird of prey hits bedroom window)
  22. if your not covered then its most likly you can get some sport related life insurance via your local dropzone
  23. i have to admit the planes are ace!. I found it really wierd taking off in such a small plane the first time. and the takeoff was very quick i almost fell off the seat it was that steep!
  24. If your tandem instructor was jumping a Vector Sigma rig then he did drop it. The drogue release ripcords on Sigmas are bungeed inside the housing, preventing it from being lost. cheers... now if I ever jump off course then i will look for some gear.... not only can you jumnp out of planes. but u get al looky dip
