    Watch out for the snag point.

    Ya such a giving person
  3. At the front of the ASM it says "susie(at)skydiver.com.au". 5 issues a year. NZ & S.E. Asia $58au. All other Overseas $75au. Using Airmail.
  4. The good old saying of: The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

    Stupid Base

    If you see Travman, bum enough to cover your costs. Tell him im good for it . I will be up at picton for Brian Germans Canopy thing if it goes ahead, so if you are there that weekend I can always give you money.

    Stupid Base

    Jasmin, How does one get a copy of the video?
  7. Do you use a full faced helmet? If not give it a try and go hard one weekend. My throat has hurt from freefall, just not being used to it and not drinking enough throughout the day.
  8. I was more meaning how she got freeflyers up in the air when she didn't have her FF crest. I will keep that in mind if I want to try to get a few out the door for my 100th. Btw Trav bite me, I like my cessna DZ, come play on the jungle gym sometime. Btw Lainey where are the photos damn it.
  9. Damn you Squeak, you have to beat me at everything. You were willing to bumper the car infront, weren't you. I am 88% Asshole/Bitch.
  10. Congrats! Interesting how you ended up getting 17 up by doing a tracking dive.
  11. Also the Pilot is a 9 cell canopy if I am not mistaken. What is peoples opinion on going from a 9 cell to a 7 cell BASE canopy. Do many people strictly do some 7 cell practice before they start BASE.

    point breek

    I recall reading about Patrick Swayze's brother being a jumper as well. Do a search on the forum. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1493229
  13. A few times I have gone bush walking and you see a snake curled up on the path, with similar sized meals. Amazing to watch. And a joey or wallaby can be pretty small. Most kids in Australia have held one of these (or similar) snakes on a show-&-tell day or at a zoo. So my understanding is they are no real threat to people, unless you were really unlucky.
  14. How does making them a star have any influence weither or not they should have children. And I do not think that pregnency ruins the body, but there are some that do not bounce back that well. I do not think anyone should have their lives ruled by someone else, not when they are intelligent enough to do it themselves. There are a few but I will not list them here.
  15. Possibly it could be someone using her account. But if she knew someone did it before you would hope she was smart enough to change her password, regardless who it was. And again I would say that it was her fault, and HH should do his worst
  16. These posts are getting old. But the "aww it wasnt my fault" posts are going to get old quicker.
  17. Was it you who made her preggers GFD?
  18. Please do not take this the wrong way, as I recommend it to everyone. But you should inquire about a defensive driving course. We have them alot in Australia, some parents require their children to take one before they can drive their cars. Might be cheaper than having another accident.

    Got Metal?

    Plate and 5 screws in my Fib. Motorbike.
  20. AggieDave, I know it is not the same but the below link to "hands on history" gave a little look at some factories and explained some things that I did not already know. Mind you Im a newbie so I do not know that much to start with http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=1901
  21. I do not know if this is the case. But what about CRW teaching fundamentals of handling adverse situations under canopy. Most people who do not carry a hook knife seem to give the reason "I do not do CRW". And since you have more things to hit under canopy you have to pay attention to collisions etc..

    Best base gear

    I first have to say I do not BASE (yet) so take what I say with a grain of salt. There have been many discussions on Velcro vs Pin. I would suggest before purchasing read as much as you can and talk to as many people as you can. Wingsuits and Velcro rigs: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=789435 My first gear (Article by TomA) http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=65 Most recent Pin vs Velcro thread (I found this very educational): http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1541827
