It is!

LOL. I will try again, we have about 6 inches of snow on the ground OUTSIDE and their is no sign of it stoping

We have about 6 inches of snow on the floor and it doesnt look like its gonna stop either

Yeah, its great over here too. Its In the 80's (not) Forecast bad snow tomorrow which will hopefully only last a day or 2 otherwise it will balls our plans for New year Day Jumping! Ohh the thoughts of a lovely C182 with no door in freezing conditions

Are you off suning it up again somewhere like aya Lee?

Have a great xmas everyone. Dont drink tooooooo much beer or eat tooooooo many pies

Peterlee DZ is open on new years day. Open 11.30am (so no one is still intoxicated from the night before) and close once dark. Also a Party in the bar new years eve

I totally agree with this. I have 143 jumps, i feel very competant under canopy and my control is good for my experience. I am a little heavier than youself. 13 1/2 stone & i am jumping a 210. I am happy with this for at least another 100+ jumps or so and maybe then, i will consider a 190. The way i see it is, this is not the sort of sport you should rush things. You have all the time in the world to go onto smaller canopys so why not sell the 149, use the cash for jumps on your 170 and gain much more experience?? Just something worth considering

QuoteWell used F111 canopies as you have probably jumped so far often respond better to that kind of flare. In the long run, a slow controlled flare is the way to go... just now though?... well that will depend. I totally agree with this statement. The canopy your no doubt jumping wilb b de-tuned and very dosile. Once you have more experience and go onto ZP & smaller canopys you will completely notice the difference in how you are meant to flare. The fist ZP canopy i jumped was a Sabre 210 & i flard just like i did on a Manta 280 & i went back up about 10 feet

I have a few mates at my local DZ and they have done exactly what you have done there. Conainters were bult for a 170 but have placed a 190 in. No problems. safe and not even that much of a tight fit!

Damn weather. Its bloody freezing and forecast bad snow romorrow onwayds Meant to be heading south for weekend skydiving but way things are looking i dont think that will happen

I definitely want to do one like. I am planning on heading to the states next year so may have to consider that. Cheers

Just wondering, does anywhere in the UK do balloon jumps. Understandibly, te whether is turning now bu in the summer months???

Hello there. I'm coming down to Brid that weekend. I'm from Peterlee. Few of the guys are coming down after work on the friday and stoping till whenever :-) see you then.

Quotefreefly in a Vector V-5...... o wait you already did that....... try a big way like 15 or more....... but do it naked With just a blob on

I think you would probably get sick of the sight of them after a while like. Well.................................. ..................................................................................................Maybe

Typical, it6 rains all weekend/week and the day we have wall to wall blue and the DZ is open im stuck in the damn office staring out of the window looking at the sky :-(

I agree. I seen paul van dyk live down Gods Global Gathering in July and he was Shite. He was a proper F**K up in the middle of his set which a pro DJ doesnt do

A lad i work with parked his car in town 1 day. He took the front off his radio and took it with him. When he returned, some little shit had smashed the window and stolen the inner part of the radio which is no use to anyone without the front. Pointless!

I went to Godskitchen @ Newcastle Arena on Saturday night & heard some Bad ass Trance tunes mixed by Armen Van Buren. Judge Jules, Fergie etc. Class night overall

that sounds more feezable than what the asking price is. The equioment is is really good condition but he spoke with a Rigger and she said to ask for £2000 which works out roughly $3500. For that i can get a brand new system nearly.

J3. 181 reserve.

Javelin Odyssey container, PD Reserve. Not sure how many times it has been re-packed but it was manufactured approx 3 years ago so i am assuming once every six months. 6 or 7 times maybe

Javelin Container, reserve & cypres 1 all about 3 yrs old. Reserve never used, container has approx 500 jumps. How much roughly??

Eaxcatly true. One of Fellow jumpers is a Deaf skydiver. He went through the raps system like. A few weeks ago we had a group of approx 6 deaf 1st time jumpers. Ground crew directed them from the ground with paddles etc. I have to say, they done 100 times better than student who have radios on. Respect
