    I fell in love with the waterfall. The manager sold those waterfall-punchcards ;) The SBK was a phenomenal host. Thank you!

  5. it's in the manual: 50 jumps (a hell of a lot ;) http://www.phoenix-fly.com/articles%20stvari/trackingsuit_usermanual_1.pdf
  6. i really like that part: "...reach up with one hand, like a loose salute..."
  7. hehehe... I read this yesterday and asked myself what the hell of a new jump-style a double goater could be! got the DVD now, too, and watched it yesterday evening. the mystery is unraveled. Nice film, nice galleries, ...nice goats!
  8. ... met him in Norway, camping next to each other. I noticed right away, that he was a remarkable person, that I listend to with attention. We had some nice jumps together and so much fun in the evenings... Keep on truckin' Peter!
  9. ..."think outside the box follow the path less taken"... blabla, windbag.
  10. Hi Matt, I don't know who you are, but I guess we met this year in the cafe and I want to thank you for this thread! We were a group of three, camping next to the cafe. It was my first time in Lysebotn, my first visit to Norway. I was absolutely amazed by the country, the walls and this boogie: I loved it and will never forget these days! The SBK, from my point of view, was a perfekt host. But this evil lady... you are so right. She really wanted our best - our money. "If you complain you can go back to Oslo" she said that more than one time. If you order a pepperoni-pizza, say you really want pepperoni on it. otherwise she'll put them aside to sell them to another customer/victim. We experienced many, many more stories like this. I will go back to jump Kjerag for sure, but I'll try my best to avoid contact with this witch. peter (camping next to us) said it best, when he asked her, where her broom is :) respects, Berni
  11. "Watch out for Nayette, she can be mean" yeah - the only evil thing in Lysebotn!

    Norway

    Don't use a cab. There is a bus every 30 minutes from the airport to the ferry in SVG. It's 70 NOK (10€) and takes about 20 minutes.
  13. We bought an anapter at Stavanger Airport in june. 10 to 15 €s I think it was.

    Swiss-valley

    hi. that's how it looked like in february this year.
  16. What I read was "(...) during my next anal check-up (...)". Sorry for that.
  17. I've been there for two weeks to the X-Mas-Boogie in 2004/2005. The Porter was there and Jan's Beech99. I was really annoyed by the fact, that they had promised much more than they could realize. No baloon-jumps, no heli-jumps, no bunkhouses, no parties,... too many "nos" to the things I was looking foreward to. Anyway it was fun to jump there, but the group needed a portion of cynicism to get over some facts. Lillo, the small town near to the DZ is not a nice place to be. It's a poor town, not offering much to tourists. You have to take a closer look to find nice restaurants, bars and people. I know the staff at Lillo tried to do a good job, and maybe they are doing so in the meantime. I hope so, 'cause there was a noticeable breeze of potential to be better than that. Some people there really tried their best and did a good job in cutting lillo's losses.
  18. I did a tandem there years ago, and went back there for a jumpy weekend after i got my license last summer. The scenery is really pictorial! They have a Pilatus Porter going up and down all day: No midday break, as at most other german DZs. They jump weekdays, too. What was really noticeable, is the friendliness of the staff. They were striking helpful in any aspect, without charging extra-money. Highly professional, but not commercial by hook or by crook. Big packing area with lounge, restaurant and bar. Qualified, professionally acting Staff, Instructors and Skydivers. Even a well equipped rigger is there with a little store for all the items you may need. There's a camping area at the DZ, and a hotel nearby. I really recommend Leutkirch as a beautiful DZ with people that are still down-to-earth, even if they skydive all day ;)

    Nitro

    i did just one demo-jump so far (150ft²), so my review will be short and only refers to that single jump! i'm pretty new to the sport, and this was my first jump with an elliptical shaped canopy. i had a perfect on-heading opening. a big fun, fast, airy flight (i regretted, not to have opened immediately after the exit), and a soft, easy to control, nice flaring landing. loved this thing!
