    AFF - handycam

    I need and want my hands free for the student and would never think of using a handycam - what I am using is either the the headstrap or mostly the breastmount GoPro have - gives a great pic of the student and free hands for the student :) Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  2. Hi, I'm jumping in Cirrus. In september we only jump weekends, normally, occasionally weekdays also ( i.e thursday, friday). Better for you to take a look at our calendar at www.hoppafallskarm.nu and check the dates out. We Jump normally on everyday basis during june/aug. Bring yr logbook, insurance papers and that will be it... And Yes, we will at those dates jump at Vårgårda (approx. 70 km's north of Gothenburg). Yes, we do have some gear for renting with 150, 170 and 190 main canopy. But altimeter, dytter, helmet and jumpsuit you have to bring by yourselves. See ya Schwede Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  3. Here U can go but near!! only 100 km from stuttgart.. http://www.skydive-saulgau.de/index.php Goood place to spend a weekend at. Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  4. You are more than welcome to us in the spring as we have our last skydiving weekend coming friday-sunday. The course we are offer is AFF and we do it at two DZ's, Vårgårda (70 km north of Göteborg) and at Näsinge (10 km nort/east of Strömstad). Be aware though that our courses do fill quickly during the spring so please visit www.hoppafallskarm.nu and book yr slot early. See ya 2012 :) Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  5. Sweden has lot more to offer then just the two you mentioned.. pse go to http://www.sff.se/index.php/klubbar and there you'll find the DZ's of Sweden. Jumpprices are among the cheapest in Europe, approx 15 - 19 €/ 4000 M, and most of the clubs offers bunkhouse facilities as well as Sauna for free or a nominal charge. My Club, FKCG - is moving its operation during the summer to the coastal town of Strömstad (close to the Norwegian border) due to the perfect climate and surroundings. Hop that you'll find you way around Sweden..... All best Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  6. We have had the PAC for two seasons now. It is simply perfect for tandems, freefly, FS4-way and student jumping. When it comes to larger groups there are some differences in comparison to the TO or Caravan, you cant put too many in the door. But w/o benches you can still launch a 12 - 16 way within 2 sec, with a little exit training. Economy - its all about the pricing, but to mention in Sweden we are not the cheapest and not the most expensiest either and for us it has really been a fairytale come through - so much that we for this season bought a 2nd one. We can get off ground with either 1 tandem or at least 6 - 8 jumpers inside and still earn money. Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  7. I became so sad and devastated when I got the message from Gareth, I'll surely miss you my man. I really enjoyed your company when you came to Sweden and the Herc boogie. I wish you all the best where you are now my man and that you have found your safe spot in the air. I'll miss you. Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  8. I got word yesterday that the great man had passed away, due to a email for his memorial service in texas. It is very sad to see this happened but I am glad to have know Skydog. As you say this was the man with the focus on safe and happy skydives, always giving away good vibes. The last time I met him and his swedish girlfriend, I had the opportunity to hire him as an LO at the Hercules Boogie in Sweden - and he really worked his ass off to keep his bunch ( +100 kg) very happy and satisfied. I will really really miss him and his bear hugs Wooff Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  9. In Sweden the Sigma's are quite common. But as we are not one country (EU) all parachute associations set up their own rules without looking over the shoulder to another EU-country. So the best is for you to look at every country independently as every National Parachute Association. Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  10. Have you tried SkyWin? http://www.adbekonomi.se/skywin/ It works really well for small as well as large Dz's Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"

Have added new showers, new bedrooms in the bunk house, kitchen, videoroom, indoor packing and easy to get to from both airports in Gothenburg GOT (Landvetter) and GSE (Säve which is also secondary dz for the club) send an email to: [email protected] for inquiries or need of more information Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  13. HI, There will not be any Herc boogie 2006 in Lidköping, sorry to say. But for information about previous boogies get in to the site www.herculesboogie.com Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
  14. How many DZ's have a webcam? Pse send a link. What are your experience so far, Positive negative, or it is acting as only a service. Really curious about the answers. Schwede "Das Leben ist schön, nicht immer aber immer öfter"
