I scored 185 (I'm a guy) no I'm not gay. I think, but this quiz has started me thinking... Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. George Bernard Shaw

Do you jump tandems?? if so its obviously ok in your country. Here in NZ you have to have 750 jumps to become a tandem master if you are AFF qualified and 1000 if you aren't. Go figure :) Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. George Bernard Shaw

no no bryn I spent all the money on the camera (I sell them so I got it cheapish) so I have no cash for a helmet - straping it on is the only answer. as for the low jump numbers... it is the norm where I jump, the diploma course has people on camera after about 100 jumps most of the time. The requirement for jumping camera with a tandem in this country is 200 jumps. So go figure. Sorry about not reading the whole forum before asking my question - I am young, lazy and I expect people to do stuff for me. Is that ok? I hear you have one too Bryn but that yours is a flashy English model with the 2.5 mm plug for the remote.... True??

I've got one that I'd like to put on top of my head but it has some weird remote connection. Its kinda round and big with 3 little prongs in it (thats the best I can do). Does anyone know if it is possible to get a bite or tongue switch for it?? any help would be much appreciated :) Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

4. Is Gmail available in other languages? During this testing period, the Gmail interface is only available in English. However, we're committed to making Gmail available to as many people in as many languages as possible. And Gmail accounts can already be used to read and send email in most languages (even Klingon). surely the Klingon bit is a joke........

someone told me that he couldn't deploy that canopy at terminal because it wouldn't open (due to the fact that it was so small). Has someone been pulling my leg? Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. George Bernard Shaw

there are a couple of music videoes I've seen with skydiving in them. One of them is by Bentley Rythm Ace and it has people running around in what looks like tandem passenger harnesses and then getting out of a plane . cool tune though.

yes if you get hurt in some places you are screwed. in my country we have something called ACC, Accident Compensation Csomething that pays you %80 of your wages or somethingl ike that until you are healed and able to work again. Cool aye!

francis isnt there at the moment, I have never jumped with him. pete corbitt is no longer the course director. you do do a large number of solos but that is being changed I think. the new course director is making many changes - trying to give us skills that are useful to commercial dzs, not just teaching us to turn points like in the past. yes u don't want to piss anyone off, I think this goes for skydiving in general - its a small world. as for the gear they sell you mine is fine and it wasn't sold to me by them as such. It was sold to me by a separate company owned and run by people that work there (a tandem master and a pilot). Its called rigmart.com go have a look there if you like. Sure they will charge a finders fee but they won't sell it to you if they think it is shite. I have actually seen them send stuff back to its owner because it was over pirced or crappy. thats all I got time for. jason hunt you got mail Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

I am currently doing this course. I agree with some of the stuff that has been said about it. In the past it was shocking, and it failed to deliver what it offered. Due to changes that have been made (most are too late to really help my intake) the course is goin to be far better in the future. That said it has taken far too long to get the problems ironed out. I seriously believe that in about six months this course will be awesome. I stand to gain nothing by saying anything good about this course and don't get me wrong I am super pissed about certain things. What I'm trying to say is that its goin in the right direction now (finally). If you want to know more about how I have formulated my opinions feel free to pm me.

why the fuck do you skydive? same deal really - calculated risk that is acceptable to some is foolhardy to others. according to that article the last death during or immediately after the runing of the bulls was in 1995 so it would seem that it has a lower death count than our sport. the percieved risk is probably higher than the actual risk - just like skydiving (unless you jump with me) Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

Thanks for that. I never thought I could learn about American politics AND skydiving on the same website! I don't think I can be "wrong" about Bush any more than you can be "right". We just feel differently about the decisions he has made and the actions he has taken. Of course I don't know much about Bush's decisions etc other than what I see on tv and read in the paper/on the net. Perhaps he has some redeeming features I don't know about.

Red-blooded, Meat eating, God fearing, Capitalist, Gun owning, Heterosexual, Conservative, American, and Proud. Any questions? Conservative? isn't that the opposite of liberal? I'm sorry if I have this wrong, perhaps you could enlighten me? This is not an attack on you I just don't understand.
