  2. You can still see if somebody is a newbie, as their post number still show in their profile, it just doesnt constitute any different type of title!:)

  5. Ouch that seems kinda harsh!

    Well thats encouraged me to start learning to freefly over here.....NOT [:/] I do agree that there should be a FF coach rating of some description, but I dont really think your comments about nobody wanting to progress are very fair....:S

    Beth :P

  6. Yeah, had noticed that...would it be possible to modify it to hold an audible more securely?

    Thanks!

  9. Completely agree with you! I only started skydiving 7 months ago and have since been to 6 dzs! My mate stopped jumping shortly after getting cat 8 (long story!) but I had to go by myself, didnt know anyone in the UK who jumped (I had done AFF abroad)....

    The first dz I ever went to over here after I graduated were probably the reason I still jump now, they were so friendly and helpful and put me at ease. Just last week I went to a big DZ for the first time and within 5 minutes of me arriving the DZO had come and said hello, and offered me a slot on the next load...it makes all the different and I am going back 2moro! :)
    I run my uni skydive club and I know nothing is more helpful for students just starting than having a friendly face to chat to, or being approached by others...

    So...I will try even, even harder to make people feel welcome, becuse if people hadn;t done it for me, I would have given up!

  10. As president of a uni club I see alot of students jumping rented gear, they too have the price of a pack included, HOWEVER I still encourage them to learn to pack, as they get £3 back of their student jump ticket price if they do that! Never too soon to learn to pack in my opinion...as some people take longer than others to learn (moi!) ;)

  11. Hey there,

    Congrats on starting to jump! I learned to pack during my AFF and have been packing my own since (still have some probs sometimes getting it in the bag!), never yet paid for a pack job! Think it's better that way personally, as you feel more confident with your ability and can get on more loads instead of having to wait around to have your rig packed. :)
    Best of luck!

  14. Yes, seems kinda typical of a "talkback" kinda thread that gets out of hand and becomes personal...hmm we gonna be losing General Skydiving Discussions next? :|

    This thread is ridiculous! Did anyone really learn much?! [:/]

  16. Talking of vast amounts of tax, apparently now the higher earning limit is something like £31,000 and after that everything you earn is taxed at 40% Crazy huh!!! Grrrrr!

  21. I went dentists today and he told me, one of mine is peeping through, no pain at all though, which is always good! Maybe when it gets bigger [:/]

    Ibuprofen is good for tooth ache, oh and whisky dabbed straight on where it hurts....(or just a big glass of it, why not!!) :)
