Yeah, first time I saw them was on Joe Jennings "Good Stuff" video I swear I've watched that vid well over 1000 times, no joke.

Hey buddy. What were you thinking when the door opened and the cold air rushed in lol. I was fine up till then, then I nearly soild myself when I saw the first people drop. Was it anything like you expected?

The Flyboyz still around? Those guys RULE!!

Thanks man, that was exactly what I was after. They send a shiver down my spin. Were you able to recover any of them or were they all chopped? I think its important I study the fourth one thoroughly . Thanks again everyone, safety first.

Very helpful advice, thanks bud. It's also great to read an AFF story that has a happy ending, helps build the old confidence a little .

Thanks a lot for the advice people, much appreciated. I hear what your saying and agree that it is best if I just wait for my AFF course. I wanted to learn as much about the bad things as possible before I start, so I could fully understand the risks I'm taking and at least attempt to prepare for something to go wrong. I don't want to be one of these careless people that gets over confident and just jumps right into it (no pun intended) and ends up putting themselves and others around them in unnecessary danger. Although, as you suggested, I may be doing that already by learning too much too soon. Thanks again, safety first.

There tandems .

Not at a dropzone yet. Want to learn before I get there.

I'm very new, know nothing and need to gain knowledge of malfunctions. I always hear "line-twist", "line over" and so on, but have no idea what they would look like above my shoulder. If anyone has any examples pics of malfunctions or knows anywhere I could go to get so, would be much appreciated.

Pot Noodle or McDonalds.

I watched Superman on tele when I was 3 and I'm still trying to fly. Happy thoughts don't work either.

Thats a funny shaped model of a moon rocket. And its pink! Bet your kid was well deprested when they opened that present.

lol. Don't be modest bud. Its irritating for someone thats only chalked up 3 .

lol. Dude, I think its safe to say your an acomplished skydiver.

LOL. There's nothing funnier than your old cheese finding your stash. I remember my brother and I had a HUGE house party when we were 14 -15(as you do) and my mate chose to make a contempo out of the hoover tube. He decided to hide it under the stairs along with the flower vases. A week later she approached me holding the most potent stinking bong ever lol. Both my brother and I totally denied it, so she left it on the breakfast bar until she found out what it was (she knew what it was, she was just waiting for us to confess it). So every morning for a week we had to eat breakfast with this stinking bong sitting in front of us. In the end I just stashed it in a bin liner and dumped it in the woods one night. A valuable lesson in homemade toking devices.

It definetly looked like it was Patrick skydiving and it looked like he had been doing it for a while. It is funny that they shout across to each other lol. Also, count the time it takes them to open. DAMN....They jump from the MOON or something. Oh yeah, and Reeves does an amazing job of keeping stable lol. Poetic license at the end of the day and it is an awsesome film.

That looks awesome. It does look like a wallaby or young Kangaroo, although there are alot of stories from Amazon tribes of Boa's swallowing nearly fully grown live stock . How mad is that.

lol. Well I would consider it bad luck that the malfunction happened in the first place. So could it have been due to equipment, did it say atall. Damn I wish I'd got home in time .

Could that have been due to unchecked equipment or packing it herself or just bad luck? Did it mention anything like that?

I just managed to cathc the last 10mins of it . How did both chutes fail? was it a human malfunction or equipment?

Does anyone have any cool skydiving/base jumping wallpapers I could use on my desktop? I've been looking for ages and I can't find one thats high resolution (1024 x 768 and up) and looks cool. Can anyone help? Thanks guys, stay safe!! (DZ.com Rules )

Try doing a fourth burnout set on some exercises. Do like 15 - 20 reps of lightish weight, then take off weight and immediately do another 10 reps or so, then take more weight off and do as any as possible. You should end up struggling to do five on little to no weight, screaming like a little girl in the process lol. Helps to shock the muscle into new growth. You feel it in the morning I tell ya lol.

Still makin gains on mine

I sometimes time 45 seconds and reach for a rip cord on my rucksack lol.

My mate and I were driving up to our dropzone for a Tandem jump a while back. Its was my third jump and my mates first jump. We were doing 90 down the fast lane as you do, when I saw a HUGE bumble bee crawling up his shoulder. There was too much traffic in the other two lanes to pull over to the hard shoulder. We were swerving all over the place as I attempted to catch the bumble bee in a McDonalds cup, as it was crawling up his cheek. I managed to trap the bee and spill coke all over him at the same time. We nearly spun the car across a busy motorway at 90 mph. Our jumps were awesome, no probs.
