True - but do you know whats in a fast food burger? Or a sausage?!!! The risk is not from steak unless the butcher has been very sloppy. Never try to eat more than you can lift

Still sounds a bit sketchy.... be careful - don't want you getting hurt!!! I'd get the local rigger to look at it - especially if it is rental kit?? Congrats on the A though - if only england wasn't so miserable in winter I could get jumping sooner!! Never try to eat more than you can lift

Wow - glad you are OK, sounds a bit of a painful one! Did you find out what was wrong witth the canopy? Hope it hasn't put you off at all

Was just thinking about this - when have you been most scared during your skydiving career? I have two occasions (and I am still at low jump numbers) 1. Got to jump 7 or 8 AFF and was so scared I didn't want to get on the plane. By then the initial "waaaaaa I'm flying !!!!" had worn off and comprehension of what I was doing was dawning!! I nearly bottled but I asked my JM (4000 jumps ish) if he ever got scared and he said "yep - every time" That made me realise it was ok and actually made the fear the best part of it! 2. A recurrency jump after 18 months off - was so scared I was nearly physically sick in the plane. The next three were fantastic though. Its a shame I have to go through that first plane ride again in about a month or so though.... Just interested to hear people's take on this!! Blue skies Dave Never try to eat more than you can lift

Bad lieutenant with Harvey Keitel - absolutely hated it but not really sure why! Never try to eat more than you can lift

I've done it before when I wrote off my first motorbike - 1 post on the outside of a corner and I'm thinking, mustn't hit the post, mustn't hit the post!!! .....if I'd looked where I wanted to go rather than where I didn't want to go I might have made it round!!! Slightly off topic, sorry! Never try to eat more than you can lift

Target fixation - its an amazing thing!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift

Ach - it was a long time ago i used to frequent this forum. Hopefully more regular now though!!!! Can't wait for my holiday and its probably only 6 months away - need to get my FS1 first though. Never try to eat more than you can lift

If it gets windy.... I also kitesurf!!!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift

Have been out of jumping for a couple of years but I am finally getting back into it this year. Am looking to book a week or two in Empuriabrava in the summer and just interested to know what people think. Who has been? Good/bad experiences? Thanks for your input Never try to eat more than you can lift

Which is the one with the Golden Knights and the chap out of Starship Troopers swooping into a hangar or something? Never try to eat more than you can lift

What is out there - what does anyone rate (and I'm not too bothered about hollywood "poetic license") - its just a present for a friend who has recently started AFF and is mad for it!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
-
Try two years - but only a month or two before I too have "knees in the breeze"...... can't wait! Never try to eat more than you can lift
-
Cheers for that - whats the surface on the aircrew gloves like, grippy? Are hinton jumping throughout the winter or are they closed now? I need to refresh and am desperate to get "knees in the breeze" again!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
-
Hey all, I have a friend who has very small hands and is struggling to find some suitable gloves. Does anyone have any ideas and/or names of stockists within the UK? I would be very grateful if anyone can help. Cheers Dave "there are two theories to arguing with women. Neither works" Never try to eat more than you can lift

Kitesurfing is the second best sport to do in the world - my ideal lifestyle would be kitesurfing when windy and jumping when not, but it still doesn't match up to 120mph straight down!! I am currently based in Devon in England, where we have had no wind for weeks - makes flying kites a little difficult!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
-
Hey all, have been off this forum for ages but am badly missing the whole thing - have been teaching kitesurfing for 6 months and don't have a penny to my name! Am sitting here on yet another windless day wishing there was a decent dz within 200 miles and I had won the lottery!! Anyway rant over, just wanted to say hi, hopefully I'll get back in the air sometime this year/decade/century!!!!! Blue skies, D Never try to eat more than you can lift
