Thanks all for your insightful and valid views. I will definitely get a refresher couple jumps with an instructor before jumping again as my first jump will likely be a shock to the system! Can't wait to get back in the sky again! On another note, I right now have a PD 210 main in a Talon 2 - the rig feels quite big and heavy and I'd prefer a smaller and lighter rig. I will have to buy a new Cyprus anyway because the Cyprus 1 is now older than 12 years. Any tips on what size main and potential container I should go for? I am 5ft 7in, 132lbs Cheers Simon

Hi, I have a A licence with about 50 jumps or so to my name. I took a break from Skydiving to pursue my career. Now I want to start jumping as I travel the world a lot of business I thought why not mix both. Dubai is my next place I will be visiting end of Aug/Sep. I have a Talon 2 with a PD canopy and a Cyprus 1 AAD. All of this equipment will be checked by my local rigger this week - the batteries in the Cyprus for example have depleted. The Cypress is > 10 years old however. My questions for this forum are: 1. Does my licence expire? or is it a simple case of renewing my BPA and USPA memberships? 2. Do you recommend a refresher jump with an instructor or shall I just jump - as I think Skydiving is like riding a bike, you never forget :) 3. How long does the Cyprus last for? That is it for now I think. Thanks for any pointers. Simon
