Watch out for barbed wire fences

Nah Cutaway is a far better doco

What about fullface?

well lets start counting, I did 130 last year... so who's next?

My insurance policy won't cover me for private aviation. So if the plane crashes I am out of luck, but if I jump out first, I'm covered.

well it is true, but he left out "in a vacum" I usually reply with "Then why do I fall slower under a canopy?"

I've done about 40 jumps with my Z1, usually wearing gloves. Never had a problem opening it under canopy. Though I had a freefall collision to the back of the head strong enough to open the visor once!

Should be back on the 18th!!! YAY!!!! Now lets see if I remember how to pack.

I've been off for the last 2 months with a neck injury. Been pumping my skydiving money into my repayments for my bike. Riding my motorbike has kept me sane, though I did have one crash

Maybe.... once I can jump again. Injured myself in the Spring league.

We were taught count 1000 2000 3000 then look over your right shoulder to clear pilot chute hesitation.

Deep heat is a paste you rub on the affected area, makes it feel really hot but works well.

I went to a physio and used deep heat when I injured my neck. Its just about healed and I can finally start jumping again

Cost me $90 from the manufacturer, perfect job too.

I use skydiving as a personal motivator to keep myself at a high level of fitness.

My DZ has cloud clearance, so we are allowed to jump. Of course there is the risk of a bad spot, but personally I will jumps if the other conditions are favourable, such as wind.

If I recall you were still waiting on a new canopy when beer was bought for the rig. Was beer also bought for the new canopy?

My copy is already on order

I was taught the bigger jumper has more inerita due to the weight. With the extra inertia the bigger jumper can push the air out of the way easier.

Don't they mean "Turned 3 or more points in one session?" Now try do that in 35 seconds!

When a girl asks you to spend the weekend at her place and you check the weather report before responding.

http://users.on.net/~traviswood/fzr250.jpg Unfortunately, since Wednesday... the side shown in the shot doesn't look so good any more. A car cut me off, turned accross my lane of traffic, I turned to avoid it and lost control when I applied front back and went down on the left side. Broke the front brake lever and front left indicator, scratched and damged left hand fairings. I walked away with a bruised hip and grazed knee.

Wow, your on the ball, you've already updated the colour coded dive pool page!

I'm sure there are people here that can provide an answer, but you could have a chat to the pilot at your DZ.

Thats a beautiful cat. New Years Eve I heard a meowing on my street. I looked down a storm water drain to see a little smokey kitten looking up at me. After some work with a crow bar and jimmy bar we got the cover of the storm water drain and rescued the kitten. Unfortunately my cat wouldn't let me keep it, but we took it to the RSCPA and she found a home very quickly.
