Hey jou hondgesig , I've just been there (ock - feb) and played in the Hollywood tunnel, peris and elsinore... I need new ground ! I'm looking at something more south. Lodi seems inviting... if the slot rates r true... And if i have to chose between tunnel and velo... tunnel will loose. Regards Arnie

N/A

So... what state do you think is the best for skydiving ? I am thinking Florida or Texas just because of the location and weather conditions. I have jumped in Florida, California, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Utah... and still cant decide :) ! I'm comming for 3 months to play and I'm really stuck. Anyone with ideas? Thinking about weather, people and planes which state would you chose and why? Regards Arnie

Anyone need someone to share cost in accomodation? Date 22-27. Please pm me. Regards Arnie

Man, i was there for 2 weeks and no one wanted to help me out... where u been ? Regards Arnie

If Tom A hasn't jumped the bridge in 4 years, then who was I jumping with less than a week ago? You need to think about your harsh accusations... besides who takes someone serious with "Hoes, bitches, sluts, and beer... " as interests ? ps. I had well over a 1000 skydives, bought my own base gear, flew from South Africa and paid for my FJC with Tom A last year. In my opinion he has only done good for our sport. BASE 1157 Regards Arnie

pm me, please Regards Arnie

There ya go ! Regards Arnie

Definitely not me in that picture... But that bridge is in SA compare the pics. And russian rig ?? WTF... Please can i have what u smoking ? Both B is in Africa. Regards Arnie

hethinkheissoooocool.jpeg looks ALOT like a site in South Africa... I will almost swear it is... Fisrt pic is also SA... When did you do the tard ? Regards Arnie

Few from South Africa... Ocean background in in Plettenberg Beach the rest is over Nylstroom. Regards Arnie

Glad to hear you are sane... got me worried there for a moment... or maybe interested. Regards Arnie

U do CRW with Velocities and HMA lines ? Wow... Regards Arnie

Hehe, sorry bru. No, I lost the left riser ( only thing I could not retrieve). The riser you see in the picture is the one with one line on that was still attached to the canopy. After cut away I pulled the left riser off as it did not release to clear everything. But I chucked it to pull my left handle. Regards Arnie

I though I had video but the opening shock turned it off. How did i find my risers ? D bag, risers and lines are out... So my hands are on my risers at line stretch. On a Velocity after inflation you want to be pretty quick on risers for avoidance/heading control. All of this was at 10000ft so plenty of time to play. Regards Arnie

19 inches above risers. 17 jumps on this line set with about +/- 8 teminal openings. We checked the container (Mirage G4) and there is no sign of any hang up. I had both risers in my hand with the bag locked and everything was clear. The opening was not so hard due to the fact that I think most of the energy went into the breaking of the lines. I basically only felt a hard tuck not even enough to pull me into a stand up position. The reserve opening was much worst (terminal) . Regards Arnie

Jumped my canopy this weekend and snapped 18 out of 20 lines. Only lines remaining is C2 and right brake line. This was on a sub terminal +/- 6 sec deployment out of a Porter. The funny thing for me is that all the lines snapped on the same length ( about a foot above my risers ) I had a bag lock and tucked on the risers to try and clear it. Which I will STRONGLY not recommend doing in the future if anyone would like to know. I think doing this created line dump ( riser slack as I pulled down ) and a quite hard opening

I think there was more swimming involved than skydiving this weekend... But it was well worth it and LOADS of fun ! Regards Arnie

Hey all! Anyone going to the year end boogie to Swakopmund 27th - 1th ? http://www.desertboogie.iwarp.com/ Regards Arno Schutte ps. got my first clicky right ! Regards Arnie

5 plus king (I got 26000+ 81th) Yeah... had some time to kill :) Regards Arnie

Adam, If I'm correct then you jumped with me on my FJC at TF. I have some pictures of your exits. PM me and I'll forward it. Regards Arnie

What does it matters ? Quite a big deal for me in the fact that this is the first object I "think/hope" I opened. It is a personal accomplishment and also knowledge gained. If you just want to follow the crowd then be my guest (said with respect). I hope to add to the sport and also about giving back what was given to me. Do you just jump known objects or do you lead ? Regards Arnie

Those who have done it, How do u know it's never been jump before ? Silly question but I can not find any info on it, The object is in Mozambique, Africa so if anyone jump there would you please PM me ? Regards Arnie

Hi, can anyone local from pennsylvania contact me please. Have a question Regards Arnie

Hello, Welcome back Andre, now let the fun begin :) Regards Arnie
