  1. Nice one thanks. I also had Spaceland in my head but wasn't sure if sure if it was still in effect. Guess SDH is the one fairly close to Austin/Round Rock area that I will be at. SDD will be also worth a visit it seems. I'll try both out!

    Thanks lads

  2. I will be based in Austin TX for 3 months starting April and wondering which are the happening dropzones around where I can take a break from work and do cool freefly activities.

    Every little helps - thanks

  4. Killer is a the surf man.

    I get coaching from him and doubt there is anyone in UK who can fly better than him in the tunnel.

    Oh..and he takes bribes from ladies so ladies dont be scared to PM me for his number ;)

    Its dude. No worries. Your knowledge on canopy control seemed fairly )ok very) solid and you at least spoke your mind out (in an educative manner like i said before).

    Thanks for the PM. Your progression under canopy make for interesting reading...but i mean that in no particular way :P and its the last i ever discuss it.

    You still crack me up though.

  11. If i was you i would issuing some head butts and beatings right about now.

    I think your personal space has been breached by some witch-hunters.

    Guys im not patrolling this forum to witness KKK style tactics.

    Iv read his posts ... they are all educative and progressive...well in a way...definitely more so than any of you are showing.

  14. You even bought a cypres and you didnt go!!!!????? Oh no oh no oh no.

    Yes you are right. Last year the prices were around 9 US and this year they were 12 or so.

    If the prices go up in england ...probably people would definitely stop jumping here (£18 already)

    I have been analysing my cash flow....it is too tight!! How are you going to afford both Kolomna and Venzuela!!?

    The Venezuela costs of US$13 per jump are very attractive..but maybe Gian-Carlo will let us know if there is something like a Plasma there.

    Also can the Venezuela airport guys be as tough as the Russian officials??

  24. Hey there Mikey!!

    I have no qualms about what the Joyners bros said but i say thats Africa for you. It does cost a lot..for everyone..but unfortunatley race does have a strong bearing to social status and economic power there..believe me. But costs aint it all like i said before..some of the black population would be able to afford it but dont do it anyhow..

    If i talk to my white whuffo friends about skydiving the conversation will get as far as costs before they say "dude you're mad".

    If i talk to a black friend the conversation doesnt get as far as them asking how much a jump costs. They just say "dude you're mad" from the onset coz the principal is just not on. They just cannot see the reason.

    Its all a game of pregression. Some of the deviants have motorcycles..some skydive...some do competitive swimming (haha yes)...some play hockey .....Its just early days on the time line.

    Hey so this weekend im out at the drop zone (Weston)...you have been missing for several weeks now. Cummon dude...lets get serious about this jumping stuff. Im tryna convince an entire country that its cool B|

  25. Yeah exactly.

    I can only speak with regards to the corner of Africa where i am from.

    1) History has meant that race differences have resulted in general social and economic variances to the point that i could comfortably issue a blanket statement like "blacks dont generally skydive in Africa because of the restrictive cost". This would be mostly true but not entirely so you would need to couple it with point 2 below...because effluent or well set locals exist but wouldnt embrace skydiving so whole heartedly.

    2) There is a large degree of ignorance as to most western traits or habits. Some things just cant be fun or socially acceptable as they appear to be a waste of scarce resources (money and life) to be fun.

    A large factor that causes 2 above is lack of education. Schooling doesnt occur whole-sale and across the board within the local circles and this would make the embracing of foreign concepts and ideology all the more unlikely or painstaking.

    In a nut-shell...as long as fundamental activities such as making all your kids go to school aren't a high priority on poeple's agendas...people's minds cannot be expected to be generally advanced to the point of understanding skydiving.

    I cant speak for any other ethinic group outside Zimbabwe/South Africa.

    To summurise i say that..as a ethnic group..we are just not mentally ready for that level of exploration. It will come in due course..its just going to take time and a few strong pioneers.

    to help your minds understand what i am saying..equate it to religion in Africa and the age of missionaries etc.
