  1. Its been months since my last jump as well, In fact havent jumped since October due to weather (Have trained recently though) and im shitting myself, 10% of me want's to do it and 90% doesnt. But i know that after iv done the first jump of the day it will be the other way around. But it still doesnt stop the brown trousers time. Hopefully be jumping 2moro so ill see you then jumpmunki - Ill be the one that looks petrified.
  2. Thanks to eveyone for there replys, Usefull info.
  3. Hi ross, The piolet chute cleared itself and it was a slow spin to the left (i think)
  4. After a nerve recking jump (Fist time pulling on alti after an unintended unstable exit) i had a really hard opening. my instructor described it as the piolet shute burbled for a bit then the canopy flew out and snapped open in about 1/4 of the time it should have taken. Caused me alot of pain. When i landed i talked to the guy that packed and he said he packed in a new way he had been told to pack but it shouldnt have caused such a harsh opening. Could this have been my body position or was it the pack? and how often should i expect opening like this? Second question, i have problems keeping my head up while in freefall which means without noticing im bringing my arm in to check my alti causing me to slowley spin. Iv done god knows how much practice on the ground but i cant seam to get in right in the air. Anyone got any suggestions that could help?
  5. YEY - Iv been waiting for this day all my life (Well at least since the site went down )
  6. Do a search on hear and google - Iv read 3 or 4 quite good stories.
  7. Im thinking of getting one of someone under a canopy with the word skydive writen below it. What ya think?
  8. I learnt this the hard way, i got my friend to do his first jump when he really wasnt too keen on it and he has seriously hurt himself and will be on crutches for quite some time, but at least he doesnt blame me.
  9. For me its the same as this guy
  10. Its alot more than what a reporter said, It was about the dosier that was given to the government about weapons of mass destruction in iraq
  11. Sorry but alot of that report was quite a bit of crap.
  12. Just saw another scetch with a guy that gives a letter for his wife if anything goes wrong to the JM and then jumps, A load of blood comes in the door, and the next student is his wife, He gives her the note and pushes her out.
  13. I read something in the daily star 2day, ill post the full article 2moro sometime, Its titled Skydiver: We know the killer.....And we'll nail him, say cops. The outline of it is that they know the identity of the killer but they are just wanting them to confess, The dectective thinks they have been delibretly lied to and they are certain it was someone who knew him. They are closing in on the killer day by day. As i say i will post the full story tomoro if no one else has.
  14. Id say dont worry about it 2 much, and youv got the chance of having $80 taken off your next jump. Just remember to have FUN. Iv had a few failurs where i knew that id failed before i got down but i always have fun.
  15. So whats the username and password? Or am i doing something wrong?
  16. I cant wait for my next jump, Thanks to everyone that posted, And this is the sport for me, I love the feelings i have had from my 10 jumps and 6 seconds freefall and i cant wait to get back in that plane.
  17. I froze on the step, It was my second free fall (3 second delay), I Climbed out no problem got ready to jump, Heard my instructor shout GO, but for the first time, i just stood there and looked back at my instructor (And for some reason shouted back "What did you say") He gave me a Big smile and shouted GO and i hesitated for a moment before jumping, But when i jumped i didnt arch, so i kinda jusr floped about for 2 seconds, then arched as i pulled. It was one of the scariest things just looking back at him and not leaving the step. It probebly has something to do with the fact that my best friend had just been taken to hospital after a bad landing on his first jump (See incidents fourm for more info) But i dont want it to happen again and risk me not jumping and getting back in the plane or something. I think the fact that i passed the level was a bost for me but i still feel wierd. Any advice or anyone went through a similar experience?
  18. For me its money, weather, and time.
  19. If there aint a video of it then its never happned
