Never heard of Chet Poland, what did he do for me.

Not yet. I might have to pack my own rig when I go to another dz at the end of the month
I dont jump the rig much any more, it was my first rig and I only use it on wingsuit jumps, nice big square.
Noticed the reserve was packed a year ago so I better get that done as well.

There was a time in my life where I took anyone. I thought I was invisible and could handle anything. I have taken quads and I have taken a student in excess of 250 pounds, take into consideration I am at a high altitude dz, 5500 ft
The youngest I've taken is 5 yrs old, not the youngest I've seen.
Each have there own risks.
I dont feel like dealing with any aditional risk so I have set the following restriction.
My weight limit is 100kgs(220) No arguments, the landings are just too fast over that weight and I think I scare the safety staff
My age limit in 9yrs old, anything younger than that and I'm scared the child wont listen to me and try something stupid on landing.
If you cant walk the 100m to boarding point you staying on the ground, there are just so many things that can go wrong with quads and cripples.

Dude, there is only 1 important skydiver and that is you. Skydiving is a very personal sport and we all get out of it what we put in.

So, decide what you want and make sure you stay alive to tell the stories.

Did my first pack job is 6 years and just felt like telling some1

Excellent, thats 100% increase in skill buddy

I'm looking at the video market for new toys.
Th FS200 is cheaper than the CX100 has more memory and has the thread the SX40 does not have.
I was wondering if anyone has jumped it successfully.

Is there a Spankmonauti site yet where we can post video. Because we all know, if there is no video it didnt happen.

It was a hard day at the DZ today.
I’ll miss you T.

Can I please have the Next years lotto numbers.

No reserve rides yet.

If the weather changes and you make a call not to exit the air craft do you pay? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am in the process of getting myself a personal web site. Where I am of course going to put my skydiving videos and picture. Although it will be personal my life revolves around skydiving these days and I want “skydive” in the url. It will then be www.??????.co.za . So I’m looking for suggestions please. I’ll add skydive and skydiver have been taken.

I just wanted to post.

Yes Yes Yes,
If I'm not coaching I'm jumping and its normally with low-timers. I do camera so they get a chance to see how they fly.

Congrats tjom,
when we seeing you down in sunny SA again?

Give up skydiving to become a cop, no way. I’d rather become a skydiving bum.

Trust me, there are a lot of dishonest people out there and they want an easy out. They usually end up taking this route

Tonto,
Whats the story with not putting the site name?

My PC5 has decided to not switch on.
If I try to switch it on the screen comes up with the following.
In the centre is a black battery with a line through, like the low battery.
The backround is yellow with
a blue boarder.

It then beeps and turns off.
I have tried to press the reset button.

This happens with both batteries so I dont think its battery related.

Any help would be appreciated.

Would invading a country and killing woman and children classify you as a terrorist?
Would shelling a country with weapons greater than any they have classify you as using weapons of mass destruction?

As an outsider I would just like to say I don’t know the difference between the democrats or the republicans but I do know the difference between a peace keeping force and a terror attack, and the big USA looks like the biggest terror organization in Iraq at present. If you are going to wage war on terror the white house is a good place to start.

None at all.
Alcohol is always good for you.

Glad nie kak nie!!!!!!
